In [[3058]] the Coventry DMM assisted the [[10th Skye Rangers]] hold Coventry against the [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3058)|Jade Falcon Incursion]] until reinforcements could drive off the Clanners.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion'', p. 8</ref> Prior to this attack, the unit became a "sink" unit, used by the High Command to station undesirable soldiers away from expected trouble zones. This plan backfired after the Falcons attacked. The Coventry DMM faced off against the Jade Falcon Eyrie Cluster outside the [[Coventry Military Academy]].<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion'', p. 22</ref> They also faced the Gyrfalcon Eyrie Cluster above and outside the Coventry Metal Works factories.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion'', pp. 23-24</ref>

=== The Dark Age ===
 
Several years after the end of the [[Jihad]] the Coventry CPM was rebuilt, beginning with the first class of graduates from the [[Coventry Military Academy]]. The first [[BattleMech]]s assigned to the re-formed Militia were manufactured by [[Defiance Industries]] on [[Kwangjong-ni]], but [[Coventry Metal Works]] stepped up to provide a further twenty 'Mechs for the battalion. The Militia expected to be assigned to the defense of Coventry, but the Commanding Officer of the reborn unit at the time, Kommandant Holland, surprised more than just the Militia when he took the Militia into the [[Periphery]] on a secret [[pirate]]-hunting expedition.<ref name="FM:3085p105">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 105, "Coventry Province Militia"</ref>
 
 
 
After Duke Brewer took the throne from [[Melissa Steiner]], the Coventry CPM loudly declared its support for its deposed leader instead of the usurper. They also remained at their duty station on Coventry, defending that world and its factories from [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. To reward this loyalty, Archon Trillian Steiner authorized the Coventry CPM to take a single 'Mech from Coventry Metal Work's lines every month. As a result, the unit had access to cutting edge technology.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 131</ref>
 
  
In 3148 elements of Clan Jade Falcon's Delta Galaxy landed on Coventry. There they sent a Trinary from the First Falcon Cluster to a memorial of the Falcon's ''hegira'' in 3058. A company of the Coventry CPM was present as an honor guard. The Falcon Trinary quickly destroyed the defending militia members and then destroyed the memorial and the city of Whitting.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 50</ref>

In [[3063]] Duke [[Frederick Bradford]] voiced his sympathies for [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]. As a result, the Coventry CPM was imprisoned and the few remains were destroyed by the [[1st Coventry Jaegers]] and [[Kristen's Krushers]].
