A deep space station (think Babylon5) made from a derilict Potempkin (i think).


Hey Dragon Cat, good to see you on here, i was wondering if you'd turn up on here eventually.

Thanks for the welcomes

I don't get what the Cyclops is supposed to do.

A deep space station (think Babylon5) made from a derilict Potempkin (i think).

Pretty much a deep space station in the Periphery beyond the Cirincus Federation.  dead potemkin abandoned by SLDF when its KF was shot originally created by JA Baker on CBT forum.  In this it's a bit of a way station for pirates, mercs and traders.  The area is classed as a no-fire zone by its leaders.  At present Queen Jennifer Briton II

At the moment it plays a small part - in the future it'll play bigger part.

I'm going to post full years here instead of three month parts on CBT - more info to digest but should be more flowing (at least I hope) pass back some feedback if you think the other way is better.

(One simulated Mech dual, one a chess game and another an arm wrestle).
   Yvonne is surprised looking at New Barcella from orbit and marvelled by what she sees.  The planet is mostly a ball of water with no polar caps and only one massive land mass the size of two Terran Africas.  The capital a sprawling city named Philip Drummond City is based on Katyusha City on Strana Mechty but without the segrigation seen on the Clan Homeworld.  In the centre of the city was the Nova Cat Hall surrounded by a perfectly circular knee level hedge that covered a full square kilometre on ground.  On this ground are four statues
   one of Phillip Drummond, the Nova Cat founder
   one of Anna Rosse, the one that brought visions to Clan Nova Cat
   one of Nicholas Kerensky the founder of all the Clans
   one of Aleksandr Kerensky, the Great Father.

   Returning to Phillip Drummond City Yvonne relates her encounter to the Nova Cat Khan.  Santin West is marvelled by the story and Yvonne's intricate detail of the event before he informs her that the nova cats on New Barcella are still held in captivity and she could not have seen a real cat.

   Accepting her as a MechWarrior second and an administer first Santin West assigns her to Administer the running of Phillip Drummond City stating that her running of the Federated Suns while Prince Victor was away proves she is capable of such a task.  This also frees Khan West's desk of the paperwork that was accumilating for the city.  Khan West further distances himself from the tasks of city governor by informing Yvonne all her requests would go through saKhan Canin Rosse, this also turns out to be a good excuse for the two to spend lots of time together when Canin is on planet.

   Canin refuses to abandon Yvonne and refuses to abandon his Clan and position.  Santin West sees the conviction in the man and the willingness to see this to the end.  The two leaders dress up the proposal in a fabricated vision to suit their purposes, knowing the general Nova Cat population and most warriors would completely support such a claim and that this would allow the Nova Cats and Federated Suns to stay linked through Yvonne.

Hope you enjoyed - comments and questions welcome.

Yvonne Nova Cat?

When you're accepted into a Clan you take the Clan name as your surname. Phelan became Phelan Wolf, etc. If Yvonne was ever eligible for a Bloodname it's possible she'd lose the Nova Cat, but unlikely unless a new Bloodhouse is created.
