'''Melissa Auburn''' was mentioned in the context of "members of the famous [[House Auburn|Auburn family]], court historians on [[Tharkad]] for generations." She was a [[Lyran Alliance]]-based author who wrote ''[[The Black Widow: In Memoriam]]'', a book that would top interstellar best seller lists for over a year around ca. [[3063]].<ref name="MW3Ep179">''MechWarrior, Third Edition'', p. 179, "Entertainment"</ref> (The book's apparent subject was [[Natasha Kerensky]], the feared and respected 'Black Widow', who had died in combat in late [[3057]].)

==Notes==
*Melissa Auburn is probably one of historian [[Misha Auburn]]'s seven younger siblings who have not been named, and in that case would be one of [[Thelos Auburn]]'s daughters; incidentally, only Misha Auburn was said to have any interest in history or politics, suggesting that Melissa Auburn, despite authoring a book about the 'Black Widow', could neither be considered a historian nor a politician.<ref>''20 Year Update'', p. 92 - Misha Auburn profile</ref> Melissa Auburn may have been named after [[Melissa Steiner (31st c.)|Melissa Steiner]], who was born in [[3010]] and thus was a year younger than Misha Auburn. (Thelos Auburn and later his oldest daughter Misha Auburn served as [[House Steiner]]'s official court historians in their respective times.)
