{{main|Silver Eagle Incident}}
In [[3027]], Melissa surreptitiously boarded the passenger [[DropShip]] ''[[Silver Eagle]]'' under the alias "Joana Barker" while her double, [[Jeana Clay]], stayed on Tharkad. She was bound for [[New Avalon]] to meet her future husband with one of the heroes of the Federated Suns, [[Leftenant]] [[Andrew Redburn]].  Elements within the Commonwealth which opposed the union of Houses Steiner and Davion arranged to have her kidnapped while en route, thereby precipitating a crisis within both realms.  She was actually captured by operatives from [[Heimdall (organization)|Heimdall]], a covert organization that often found itself at odds with the [[Lyran Intelligence Corps]] but was fiercely loyal to Katrina Steiner.  When the [[Draconis Combine]] discovered her location and sent forces to capture her, Heimdall swore to protect the Archon-Designate from harm.

Raised on Tharkad and within the confines of the Lyran court, Melissa was concerned about her ability to lead. She did, however, ably coordinate the defense of the [[Styx]] mining base against a coordinated assault by both [[ISF]] forces and the ''[[Genyosha]]'', an elite 'Mech force commanded by [[Yorinaga Kurita]]. Thanks to efforts by the [[Kell Hounds]] [[mercenary unit]] and in particular the sacrifice of [[Patrick Kell]], the Archon-Designate was rescued and arrived on New Avalon safely.

Melissa Steiner bore five children with Hanse Davion:
 +
* [[Victor Steiner-Davion|Victor]], as the eldest, inherited both thrones. His political ineptness kept him from keeping those thrones, however, and he later became the [[Precentor Martial of ComStar]], then a [[Paladin (rank)|Paladin]] of [[The Republic of the Sphere]] following the [[Jihad]].
 +
* [[Katherine Steiner-Davion|Katherine]] was the chief architect of Victor's downfall, eventually usurping both his thrones, which led to the [[FedCom Civil War]]. Following the war's end, Katherine was allowed exile to [[Clan Wolf]], where she became a member of the Warrior Caste.
 +
* [[Peter Steiner-Davion|Peter]] became the Archon of the [[Lyran Alliance]] after the end of the FedCom Civil War.
 +
* [[Yvonne Steiner-Davion|Yvonne]] became the ruler of the Federated Suns following the end of the FedCom Civil War.
 +
* [[Arthur Steiner-Davion|Arthur]] was believed to have been assassinated, the spark that officially began the FedCom Civil War, though no body was ever recovered.
