==History==
===The Coventry Campaign===
During [[Clan Jade Falcon]]'s [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3058)|push]] on [[Coventry]] in [[3058]], [[Sharon Bryan]] and her [[Eleventh Lyran Guards]] were briefly rotated to [[Tharkad]] in case of a potential breakthrough. <ref name=MI229-11LG-1>''Malicious Intent'', p. 229, the Eleventh Lyran Guard were on Tharkad in April 3058</ref> They were later part of the massive multinational [[Inner Sphere]] relief force led by [[First Prince]] [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] and [[Precentor Martial of ComStar|Precentor Martial]] [[Anastasius Focht]]. <ref name=TBOC12-ASA-11LG-1>''The Battle of Coventry (scenario pack)'', p. 12, "A Strange Alliance", the Eleventh Guards are part of the task force sent to Coventry</ref> Bryan did not endear herself to the other commanders of the expedition, as she demanded a commanding position in planning and operations. She also questioned the commitment of the [[mercenary]] portion of the force, as they were being paid. [[Colonel]] [[Daniel Allard]] pointed out that Bryan's Eleventh Lyran Guards had retreated in the face of combat on Callison, infuriating the Marshal but briefly silencing her.<ref name=MI258-11LG-SB-1>''Malicious Intent'', p. 258, Sharon Bryan protests her place in the Coventry relief force</ref> Bryan also repeatedly suggested the Jade Falcons would oppose the landing of the task force, despite the fact she had little experience opposing the [[Clans]]. Victor Steiner-Davion and [[Ragnar Magnusson|Ragnar]] of [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] both insisted that the tradition-minded Falcons would honor ''[[safcon]]'', but Bryant remained highly skeptical. When Focht, the victor of the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]], stated that his [[472nd Division (ComStar)|472nd Com Guard Division]] would be the first unit to land, she retorted that "You'll bleed just as easily as any FedCom." <ref name=MI260-11LG-SB-1>''Malicious Intent'', p. 260, Sharon Bryan complains that the Jade Falcons may oppose the landings</ref> When Victor Steiner-Davion and Caradoc Trevena ultimately offered the Falcons ''[[hegira]]'', allowing them to depart from Coventry with no further fighting, Bryan bitterly protested in light of the destruction the Falcons had inflicted. She even went so far as to name Trevena, who had spent three hard months fighting the Falcons, a coward. She was rebuked by Prince Victor, Focht and Trevena, as the result forced the Falcons to withdraw and spared both the Clan and Inner Sphere forces from a battle that would have devastated both sides. <ref name=MI285287-SB-1>''Malicious Intent'', pp. 285-287, Sharon Bryan accosts the allied leaders for offering the Jade Falcons ''hegira''</ref> Bryan would continue to express disgust for the move in the months to follow, even though the other commanders of the task force - including Sir [[Paul Masters]] of the [[Knights of the Inner Sphere]] and [[Wu Kang Kuo]] of the [[Harloc Raiders]] - both found the situation acceptable.<ref name=GC89-SB-1>''Grave Covenant'', p. 89, Sharon Bryan continues to detest Victor's solution to the Coventry situation</ref>
