Manufacturing Centers

Planetary Info

The planet Coventry was a major trade center of Lyran Commonwealth, serving as both a industrial and agricultural powerhouse and eventually developing a large military industry, including Coventry Metal Works, the second largest 'Mech manufacturer in the Commonwealth, Defiance Industries, Ceres Metals, Greenbill Aerospace or Nashan Computers. Despite of this Coventry managed to keep it's paradise look, still having moderate tourist business on it's islands.[40]

Planetary History

Age of War

During the last fifteen years of Archon Robert Marsden's rule the new wealth generated by the resurgent economy of the Lyran Commonwealth gave the military the resources to engage in new experiments, and those experiments in turn generated the inspiration for a large military sciences center on Coventry.[3]

In 2461 Coventry was the site of a Draconis Combine raid that secured the designs for battlemechs, giving House Kurita the technology that for a brief period of time was giving House Stiener a great advantage in combat.[4]

Succession Wars and Later

Coventry was target of many assaults; notable conflicts included: Free Worlds League (3006), Clan Jade Falcon's Incursion (March 15th-May 10th 3058), FedCom Civil War revolts in 3062, Word of Blake's Jihad Occupation & its liberation in 3074.

The Word of Blake launched a raid on Coventry between the 14th and 17th of March 3068, while also launching raids on Donegal and Hesperus II; the three raids all featured support from Blakist WarShips or Pocket WarShips.[41] The Word of Blake later occupied Coventry, an occupation which would last until March 3074; the liberation began on the 16th of March, when a combined Clan Jade Falcon and Lyran Alliance Armed Forces task force[42] including the Aegis-class heavy cruiser CJF Red Talon[43] attacked the Word of Blake blockade of the world. Five days later, the task force had freed Coventry,[42][44] destroying the Aegis-class WoBS Immortal Spirit in the process.[45]

In the post-Jihad era the Coventry Metal Works factories began the daunting task of rebuilding; of all of the facilities across the Lyran Alliance that had been damaged but which could potentially be repaired, Coventry Metal Works was the most heavily damaged.[46]
