History

Academy

Barclay would attend the NAIS.[2]

Seventy-first

Sandra was promoted to command of the rebuilt Seventy-first Light Horse Regiment in 3055. She proved herself an able commander, but the heavy losses her unit suffered during the Battle of Coventry eroded her confidence.[4] Unknown to the rest of the ELH command, witnessing the brutal death of Daniel Umsont caused her to suffer from PTSD.[5]

She was taken as bondsman by Clan Goliath Scorpion with the rest of her unit on 10 July 3068 following a Trial of Possession.[3] Sandra became abtakha and became a Goliath Scorpion Warrior.[6] At one point, she was promoted to Star Colonel and assigned command of the 1st Eridani Lancers.[7]

According to Khan Ariel Suvorov in February of 3075, all of the Scorpions' warriors who originated as abtakha taken from the Eridani Light Horse were dead.[8]

Sandra Barclay would posthumously be honored with the creation of the Barclay Bloodname.[9]

Published Works

Sandra was also a published author, with New Avalon Publishing Company, having written a firsthand account of the Battle of Coventry in 3058, called Boots and Saddles: The Eridani Light Horse on Coventry.[10]

BattleMech

Sandra piloted a Cerberus during Operation SERPENT.[11]
