History

Early life and Com Guard service

In 13 December 3057, Lisa Koenigs-Cober had a meeting with the Preceptor Martial, Anastasius Focht on Terra. They talked about the fight between Clan Wold and Clan Jade Falcon. Focht excused the First Circuit's decision to don't renovate the contract with Brion's Legion, because one of his officers was in a relationship with Lisa. Focht also informed Lisa of his decision to depart Terra to deal with the Clans fight, leaving her as commander of the Terran Defense Force, and they talked about the possible threats to Terra's security.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag[1]

Although her command ability was never in doubt, Precentor Koenigs-Cober surprised many over the next few years with her skills at diplomacy. As the 472nd Division cycled unit after unit through the Com Guard proving grounds on Tukayyid, she dealt with many different egos and opposing-force commanders, and proved that she could handle all of them with aplomb. That diplomatic skill, coupled with the maturity she showed in backing down from her obsession with returning to Terra, led many to speculate that the Precentor might be a fine Precentor Martial one day, although she was not chosen when Victor Steiner-Davion stepped aside to deal with his sister. [2][1][1]

Surviving the 472nd's destruction on Tukayyid in 3068 during the early years of the Jihad, unlike the bulk of the Com Guards, upon the disbandment and merger into the Republic of the Sphere armed forces Koenigs-Cober remained with the Order. Following the death of Primus Gavin Dow in 3091, the First Circuit selected Koenigs-Cober partly due to her efforts against the Blakists. [3]

Primus of ComStar

Little is known about Lisa Koenigs-Cober's reign as Primus, but evidence over the decades of her tenure show she was little more than a figurehead, with real power and control over the organization residing instead with the First Circuit and a select group of Precentors.[3]
