Duke Harrison Bradford was the noble ruler of the Lyran Alliance planet of Coventry.


History

As Duke of Coventry Bradford was noted for his intense loyalty towards Katrina Steiner.[2] This loyalty did not extend to "Katrina" Steiner-Davion as both Harrison and his son Thomas sided with Prince Victor Steiner-Davion. He held the title of Duke from at least 3025 until sometime around the 3060s when his son assumed the Title.[3][4]

He was also a Marshall in the AFFC, commanding the Third Royal Guards RCT from 3050 until at least 3057. During that time they were stationed on Port Moseby. It is unknown when he left, but by 3061 Kathy Parks held the post. Given his loyalty shown to Prince Victor with the invasion of Northwind in 3057 and the Third returning to LAAF rosters in time for Operation BULLDOG it can be safely assumed we retired or was relieved of his command after the debacle on Northwind.[5][6][7][8][9]
