Katrina Troth would serve under Luarca during the climactic Battle of Tukayyid, seeing action against Clan Ghost Bear. While the Clans overall were defeated, Katherine Luarca's performance and tactical decisions during the defense of Spanac and Luk led to her "promotion" to a administrative position overseeing the Com Guards' BattleMech procurement, with Troth the natural choice to take over as commander of the First Army, holding the rank of Precentor X in 3055. Reaching the rank of Precentor XVII in 3062, Troth was fiercely apolitical with the Combine, highly effective in building bridges in the First Army's postings.[1]

When ROM agent Judith Faber called for extraction during a scheduled Smoke Jaguar raid on Maldonado in May 3058, Troth ordered her 308th Division to proceed there with all available forces and recover Faber and Trent.[4]

Katrina Troth would command the First Army until the era of the FedCom Civil War, with Rachal Drake being promoted to command the First near its conclusion, the Combine-born Drake only improving relations with the First's postings around Dieron.[5]
