===The Coventry Campaign===
In late January [[3058]], Khan Marthe Pryde would assemble a task force consisting of unblooded and inexperienced Warriors to push into the [[Lyran Alliance]] to [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3058)|attack]] the world of [[Coventry]]. The Fifth Battle Cluster, losing so many of its warriors during the Refusal War, would be assigned to the expedition.  The Cluster would be assigned to one of four groups of JumpShips traveling through the Alliance, who would attack various worlds on the way. In February, the Cluster would get taste of battle. Soon after arriving in the [[Neerabup]] system, they would [[Battle of Neerabup (3058)|attack]] the planet to test the steel of the regional defense force based on the planet.  The [[Neerabup MTM|Neerabup PMM]] would take position in their compound where they choose to fight the Trial. Surprised and supremely arrogant, the Cluster moved to take the compound. The militia put up a tremendous fight, forcing some of the Cluster to withdraw.  In the end, the militia was defeated, but their strength character so impressed the Falcons that many of the militia's warriors were taken as [[Bondsman|bondsmen]].<ref>''Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion'', pp. 8, 19: Campaign history and Touchpoint: Neerabup highlight the Cluster's fight with the militia unit in February 3058</ref><ref>''Field Manual: Lyran Alliance'', p. 117: Regional militias/Neerabup MTM - Neerabup MTM's history notes the all its survivors of the militia force was held by Clan Jade Falcon during their incursion of Alliance in '58</ref>

The Cluster would arrive with rest of the Falcon expedition over Coventry in March of 3058, they would begin their [[Battle of Coventry (3058)|assault]] of the planet. The Fifth Battle due to its still lacking in strength would take assigned in defensive role during the conflict. Among its noted fights it engaged in, include when its elements were attacked by Lyran guerrilla forces while they were guarding one their supply depots in early April. The guerrillas force consisting of company from the [[10th Skye Rangers]]' 1st Battalion, would lure some of its 'Mech elements away from the base while its comrades would smash the remaining guarding forces at the base. The Fifth Battle's front-line and second-line 'Mech units would be fooled by false sensor readings, only be blindsided by Lyran ambush. Instead of pursuing the Lyrans into the Cross-Divide Mountains, the remaining components of the Cluster would be called elsewhere. Inner Sphere reinforcements would finally arrive on planet to contest the Clan's hold of the planet. The Cluster would be called eventually to help protect the city of Port St. Williams from newly arrive Coventry Expeditionary Force. Its aerospace fighters would join other Clan aerospace forces trying to foil the CEF's airstrike against their forces.  By May, additional Inner Sphere reinforcements would arrive to aid their Inner Sphere comrades on the ground.  Reinforcements led by [[First Prince]] [[Victor Steiner-Davion]], would offer Khan Pryde ''[[hegira]]'', allowing the Cluster and rest withdraw from Lyran space intact and with its honor.<ref>''The Battle of Coventry'', pp. 8, 10, 12-13, 23: Battle of Coventry with aspects of the 5th Battle Cluster role in the Battle/campaign.
