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.

Pretty much, her family status doesn't mean much to the Nova Cats despite the Khan's cover up of her relationship with Canin

Quote
2nd December 3063
   saKhan Canin Rosse informs Khan Santin West of his proposal to Yvonne Nova Cat.  The Nova Cat Khan is shocked and more than a little angry at the saKhan's plan and wonders if his time spent in the Federated Suns has brung destruction to the Nova Cats.
   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.

I'm not sure if a Nova Cat Khan has ever used a vision or 'seen' a vision for a specific situation but it worked when writing it

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

I had forgotten that (or I never knew it :P)

Captain-General Thomas Marik is a fake.  The man the Inner Sphere knows as Thomas Marik is not the same man who joined ComStar.  The bomb blast that our Captain-General claims he was disfigured by killed the real Thomas Marik at the same time as it killed his father and brother, ComStar used it to place one of their ROM Agents at the head of a Succession State.  Files attached to this document show that these two men are two different individuals.  Unfortunately for ComStar the man they turned into Thomas Marik refused to be their puppet and instead served the Free Worlds League loyally.  Despite this loyalty he is not a member of the ruling family of House Marik and his continued support of the Word of Blake will bring the Free Worlds League’s people to ruin.  People of the Inner Sphere, people of the Free Worlds League I plead with you renounce this man and bring ComStar’s and the Word of Blake’s influence over the Succession Lords to an end.  Death to the Children of Jerome Blake!

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

3068

4th January 3068
   Wolf's Dragoon secure Outreach fully eliminating all trouble makers and forcing all other mercenary forces off planet.
   Ceremony of Jamie Wolf takes place with the Supreme Commander's ashes fired over Lake Kearny by a Dragoon Aerospace fighter.  Several royals from around the Inner Sphere including Victor Steiner-Davion and his wife Danai attend honouring the Dragoon founder and commander.
   Before they can return to their DropShip Danai Centrella-Davion goes into labour for the second time - eight hours later at a Dragoon Medical Facility Jaylen Davion is born.
   Dragoons raise another five metre high, four metre long section of their Wall of Honour for fallen mercenaries.

17th January 3068
   Ice Hellion attempts an invasion of the Inner Sphere and after several knock backs by the Hell's Horses, Clan Wolf and the Ghost Bears the Hellions retreat to the Nueva Castile territories.
   Overwhelming the local Umayyad and Castillian forces the remaining Ice Hellions set up shop thye have three remaining WarShips and roughly two Galaxies of troops.

21st January 3068
   Khan Santin West reveals the Nova Cat's Den's location to the other Clans.  Th other Clans believe that the Nova Cats have endangered them all by crossing the Tukayyid line however West counters them informing the Clans that no Nova Cat clansman has gotten any closer to Terra than the distance Tukayyid is from Terra.  Unlike the Wolves, Jade Falcons and most recently Ghost Bears who have all crossed the Truce line.
   Khan Brett Andrews (Steel Vipers) intent on beating Galaxy Commander Timur Malthus declares a Trial of Refusal against the Nova Cat Khan.  Khan West and Brett Andrews immediately attacks him despite Loremaster Kael Pershaw's call for order.
   Khan West defeats Brett Andrews his superior Elemental training cutting down the MechWarrior with a series of coordinated heavy blows showing compassion he refuses to kill the Steel Viper Khan.  Unfortunately for Santin West Khan Riana Montrose (Ice Hellion), her own Clan in trouble trying to reach the Inner Sphere, attacks the Nova Cat Khan.
   Although barely touched by Andrews Khan West was no match for the younger Montrose and soon the Nova Cat Khan was dead on the floor of the Great Hall.  Several Clans called for the abjurment of the Nova Cats however Clan Diamond Shark, Snow Raven, Ghost Bear, Cloud Cobra and Goliath Scorpions closed ranks and voted against action on the Nova Cats.

2nd February 3068
   Nova Cat vessel Thunderbolt (Black Lion) is ambushed in the Clan Homeworlds by the Steel Viper vessels Coiled Serpent (Vincent), Snake Pit (Lola III) and Martial Legacy (Essex).  All three Steel Viper WarShips refuse to adhire to Zellbrigen and the Thunderbolt is destroyed by its oppenents but not before taking the Coiled Serpent and Snake Pit with it.

3rd February 3068
   Again outside a Trial this time in the Barcella system the Nova Cat vessels Righteous Return (Vincent) and Growler (Lola III) are engaged by Clan Ice Hellion vessels.  Although the Nova Cats are able to destroy the Chaos Sailor (Aegis) they are hopelessly outgunned.

4th February 3068
   Aware of the previous attacks on Nova Cat shipping saKhan Canin Rosse arrives in the Bearclaw system with the WarShips Lucian Carns (Anna Rosse), Vision Quest (Aegis) and Far Vision (Vincent) all ready for a fight.
   Approaching them are the Jade Falcon vessels Turkina's Pride (Cameron), Gauntlet (Liberator) and White Aerie (Black Lion) surprisingly the Jade Falcons offer the Nova Cats Zellbrigen which the Nova Cats agree to.  In the following battle the Turkina's Pride is destroyed, Gauntlet is boarded and captured by Nova Cat Elementals and the White Aerie is forced to retreat.  All three Nova Cat WarShips are heavily damaged with the Far Vision abandoned shortly after the battle.
   Canin Rosse with the Lucian Carns and his Watch Cluster continues onto Strana Mechty while the Vision Quest escorts the Gauntlet to Barcella along with the saKhan's Delta Galaxy.

17th February 3068
   saKhan Canin Rosse calls for a Grand Council almost before he sets foot on Strana Mechty.  At the council he calls into question the honour of the assembled Khans risking a Circle of Equals as he critizises the assembled Khans for allowing a Khan to be killed on the floor of the Grand Council, for allowing their WarShip fleets to attack Nova Cat vessels outside Trials like packs of dogs.
   saKhan Rosse calls for a representive of Clan Steel Viper to answer for their actions against Clan Nova Cat.  As Khan Brett Andrews is still recovering from wounds sustained fighting Santin West Canin calls out saKhan Nicole Hoskins.  The Steel Vipers refuse to fight achknowledging they were wrong in the face of all the Clans and offer the Nova Cats a Ransom of the Nova Cat Clan's choosing.
   Canin Rosse demands two WarShips the Constrictor (Whirlwind) and Steel Python (Aegis) repaying the Nova Cats for their losses.  The Steel Vipers refuse initially however Canin Rosse counters with simple words "you give us both vessels or I'll kill both your Khans today."  The Steel Vipers seeing the anger in the Nova Cat saKhan's face agree to terms and promise to deliver the vessels.
   The Nova Cat saKhan then turns on Galaxy Commander Timur Malthus challengine his right to even be within the room before challenging a Circle of Equals pointing out that the WarShip force that welcomed the Nova Cat Delta Galaxy would not have been in position unless ordered to intercept and kill Canin Rosse.
   Khan Vlad Ward supports Canin Rosse's arguement.  Malthus initially tries to worm his way out of the fight however Canin Rosse makes a simple threat "The Nova Cats have five WarShips, Four Galaxies of Troops and nothing to lose - try us" around the chamber the Khans realize that Canin Rosse isn't just acting like an angered saKhan he is acting like a Khan approval of his Clan or not.
   Again Loremaster Kael Pershaw is powerless as Timur Malthus engages in hand-to-hand combat with the younger Canin Rosse.  The battle is almost over before it begins and the Jade Falcon lies dead at Canin's feet.
   Before the dust has settled over the fight Canin turns on Riana Montrose but before he can issue a challenge Khan Vlad Ward steps in informing the Nova Cat saKhan he cannot defeat everyone in a fight in one day and that it would be best for the Nova Cats for Canin to cease his behaviour.  Riana Montrose informs Canin Rosse he does not have to issue a Circle that she realizes her dishonour and will step down as Khan of Ice Hellion for her own dishonour.

18th February 3068
   Khan Vlad Ward calls for a vote of no-confidence in Loremaster Kael Pershaw for time and again failing to control the Grand Council.  Following a vote Clan's Diamond Shark, Wolf, Nova Cat, Steel Viper, Coyote, Ghost Bear, Snow Raven, Ice Hellion, Goliath Scorpion and Cloud Cobra all support the motion.
   An hour later Star Adder Loremaster Dagmar Lahiri is elevated to the post of Grand Council Loremaster.
   By the end of the day Canin Rosse is confirmed as the new Nova Cat Khan.  He promotes Galaxy Commander Jal Steiner to the post of saKhan ending the Day of Turmoil on Strana Mechty.

   The Alexander Davion and Unity City are able to destroy both Zechetinu-class vessels however the heavier unidentified vessels prove a far more challenging set of opponents.  With the Vengance-class Carrier off the Unity City and both of the Davion's DropShips cut to pieces by Naval Autocannon fire.
   After a cat and mouse duel the Alexander Davion is rapidly being herded by the three attacking vessels when the SLS Unity City dedicated to the protection of the First Lord and escorted by the remains of the Royal Black Watch aerospace wing charges the enemy formation.  The Unity City using its huge engine rams the lead essex at nearly 5Gs acceleration destroying both craft - the remaining Black Watch fighters ram the other WarShips causing further damage allowing the Alexander Davion to slip away again.

12th March 3068
   After running at nearly full engines for four days the Alexander Davion is low on fuel, ammunition and places to run.  Victor Davion steps on Fleet Admiral Petain's shoes ordering the Alexander Davion to go out swining instead of running.  The Alexander Davion takes heavy damage and is close to defeat when two more vessels jump into the system identifying as the WDS Darius and WDS Nelson (both Lola III) of the Wolf's Dragoons.  Intercepting the Unity City's call for help the Dragoons had answered the call.
   The enemy Naga and remaining Essex turn on the Dragoon vessels concentrating on the Darius they are able to do enough damage to force the inexperianced Dragoons to abandon ship however this leaves them in perfect position for the Dragoons remaining vessel Nelson to dispatch both remaining enemy vessels and offer assistance to the Alexander Davion.
   Victor Steiner-Davion meets with General Maeve Wolf as further AFFS vessels arrive and promises to repay the Dragoons.

1st April 3068

   Three Ice Hellion Aerospace Fighter Stars engage two Stars of Nova Cat OmniFighters.  Although the Ice Hellions held the numerical superiority the heavier and more advanced fighters of the Nova Cats proved decisive and the Coterie became a Nova Cat vessel.

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

The original CBT thread
Dragon Cat on CBT


Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

3rd April 3073
   With Victor Davion on Defiance, many would have thought it was a bad April Fools joke but on New Avalon and for the Davion family it was the Federated Suns worse nightmare.  Over a decade of planning came to one day's climactic events.  The Varnay Family returned to the Federated Suns in the form of Jacob Varnay.  Supporting him were the Varnay Irregulars, 1st Capellan Dragoons and the 11th Avalon Hussars RCT who dropped near Avalon City demanding Victor Steiner-Davion's surrender.
   At the Nadir point at almost the same time the Thunderchild (First Prince - formerly FSS Hanse Davion), the 17th and 22nd Avalon Hussars RCTs emerged into the system.  Soon after the 32nd Avalon Hussars RCT also arrives.
   The FSS Alexander Davion, FSS Sandra Black-Davion (both Davion III) and the FSS Simon Davion (Avalon) move to engage the Thunderchild.
   On the ground the 1st Davion Guards RCT, 1st and 2nd New Avalon Guards RCTs and 1st Albion Academy Regiment opposed the pro-Varnay forces.  At the Fox's Den Head of the Avalon Hussars Brigade Roger Waters is found dead on his desk an order to all Avalon Hussars Regiments to arrest Victor Davion for assassinating Hanse Davion during the Clan War.

6th April 3073
   Further Varnay forces arrive in the New Avalon system as the Indefatigable, Fox (both Fox) and Ian Davion (Avalon) arrive in the system all claiming for the Varnay family's claim of Victor's guilt and a general AFFS cover up.  Behind these three WarShips are the 1st and 2nd Chisholm's Raiders, 39th 41st and 42nd Avalon Hussars RCTs all claiming for the Varnay family.
   On Defiance Victor Davion is informed of the arrival of the Varnay family.  The assault on the Royal Palace and the betrayal of almost the entire Avalon Hussars Brigade and several naval assets.  Victor instantly removes the Federated Suns from the Martial Olympiad and heads to Galax with Reinhart.  Victor sends word to Camelot Command ordering them to "Bring out the Pegasus"

7th April 3073
   Pro-Varnay and Pro-Victor naval forces engage in the Avalon system.  The FSS Sandra Black Davion was disabled following a concentrated attack from the Thunderchild.
   The FSS Simon Davion is badly damaged attempting a jump to escape oncoming fire from the Thunderchild and Ian Davion.  The FSS Simon Davion never arrives at its intended destination.
   While the FSS Alexander Davion charges at the two Fox-class Corvettes and moves to engage the pro-Varnay ground force transports.  Destroying the Indefatigable and several DropShips before the Fox, Thunderchild and Ian Davion were able to get into defensive positions.
   Under orders not to allow all WarShips to be destroyed the FSS Alexander Davion jumps to Galax to report the trouble in the New Avalon system.
   Pro-Varnay naval forces salvage the damaged Sandra Black-Davion conscripting the vessel abandoned by Victor's forces.

8th April 3073
   Under orders from Victor Davion the Wild Geese Mercenary Regiment and Federated Freemen Mercenary Regiment jump into the Avalon system with several assault DropShips.  While the ground forces continue to New Avalon the DropShips regroup with AFFS defence forces just outside New Avalon space.
   On the ground the two mercenary regiments are sent straight to Avalon City helping bolster the remains of the 1st Davion Guards RCT.  The Varnay forces have however taken three quarters of the city and caused heavy damage to all areas.
   
10th April 3073
   Pro-Victor loyalists are boosted in Avalon City as Prince's Champion Ross McKinnon takes to the field along with the Fox's Teeth augmented Company.  Beside the Fox's Teeth are a Company of DMI Rabid Fox operators using the new Infiltrator III Heavy Battle Armour.
   Unfortunately the Fox's Teeth are ambushed and soon on the run along with several cadets from the NAIS.  Herded into an open park area the Fox's Teeth have no coice to run a gauntlet of Varnay units.  Attacked from three sides the Fox's Teeth are quickly under heavy fire.  They are only saved by the arrival of a Dire Wolf kitted out in the Kathil Uhlans colours.
   Designated Sword One - Ross McKinnon identifies the voice as Andrew Redburn.  Unfortunately even a Dire Wolf has no chance against the arrayed Varnay forces.  As it falls the Fox's Teeth escape.

11th April 3073
   Jacob Varnay enters the Davion Palace Throne Room with his daughter Teri Varnay, a member of the Avalon Hussars, someone who had for years been living under the Davion's noses under an assumed name.  Someone who had served with almost all the Avalon Hussars Regiments who had built a reputation for integrity and good Battlefield command.

12th April 3073
   Several assault DropShips and almost all the remaining pro-Victor aerospace fighters assault the rest of the Varnay forces inbound on New Avalon.  The force is ineffectual against the incoming mass Varnay forces and is wiped out.
   Both Chisholm's Raiders Regiments land one on New Scotland one on Rostock intent on finding and capturing Victor's heir.
   The Second Chisholm's Raiders land less than a kilometre from Burton's school however the pro-Victor forces appear to have expected this as the Federated Freemen charge their landing zone almost immediately after landing.  In a battle that neither can win and with no retreat position for the Federated Freemen both units are cut down to almost no strength.
   On New Scotland First Chisholm's Raiders engage the Wild Geese Mercenaries and the First Albion.
   17th, 22nd, 32nd, 39th, 41st and 42nd Avalon Hussars land around Avalon City engaging the 1st Davion Guards and both Avalon Guards RCTs.

   The FSS Andrew Davion is able to destroy the Sandra Black-Davion and escape from the system before other Varnay WarShips can react.

28th April 3073
   First Prince Victor Steiner-Davion welcomes the FSS Pegasus (Columbia) to Galax.  Akin to the Lyran's Invincible it was a ship long thought lost by the AFFS.

Dragon Cat on CBT


Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.
