	In March of [[3034]] the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]] was formed and with its formation there was a split in the loyalty among many of Rasalhagian members of the Company. In April of that year two of the Sabres' MechWarriors, Izora Soderstrom and Lt. Sveinson, led a defecting group of techs and other noncombatants in an attempt to join the new Republic from the Sabres' base on the planet [[Togura]].  Sharron and rest of the Sabres pursued defectors and a battle ensued between the former comrades. In the course of the fighting an errant PPC blast from her ''Trebuchet'' hit her former lover's ''Phoenix Hawk'', detonating its [[Machine Gun|machine gun]] ammunition and killing him.  The battle finally ended in sad victory for the Sabres, and Sharron's 'Mech was again destroyed. Though she survived, it was a survival that rang hollow.
