In early [[3068]], Coventry's production lines were overrun by the [[Word of Blake]]. The Blakists used these captured production lines to outfit their troops, halting all sales to the Lyran government. The equipment the Word confiscated was never paid for, and CMW burned through their available financial reserves to keep the company afloat. Not satisfied with this result, the Blakists inflicted serious damage on the construction facilities when they withdrew from Coventry, leading CMW to spend more money to make repairs. This massive debt has left CMW in a very tenuous position financially. As of [[3077]], executives are considering shutting down production of less popular 'Mechs to focus on more popular models.<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 94: Coventry Metal Works</ref>

During the [[Jihad]] the main plant lost 45% of its personnel and equipment. In [[3079]], the plant was only 75% as productive as its pre-Jihad level.<ref name=O:LAp3>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 3: "State of the Industry at a Glance (Dec 3079)"</ref> Most of the damage occurred to the production lines for heavy and assault 'Mechs, which Coventry feared would reduce its influence with the [[LCAF]] High Command. In addition, the ''Hollander'' and ''Hussar'' production lines were apparently shut down, while the ''Dart'' line's output was earmarked for export to the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name=O:LAp16>''Objectives: Lyran Alliance'', p. 16: "Coventry Metal Works"</ref>
