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.

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.

And is these Trinity Moons World your own idea or is it on any canon map?

Originally the Trinity Moons idea came from a non-canon design on the CBT forums (I can't remember who created).  I'll post the design later and hopefully it will explain the Trinity Moons more clearly.

A map will be available in 3081 courtesy of Blacknova which will detail exactly how this AU Inner Sphere looks like.

Because I didn't set everything in this up when I first wrote the timeline and as it continues I've borrowed from the works of others BergStorm, JABaker and others used their designs and ideas I've also used things from Canon to bring the timeline into something better

I've even been tempted by your Splendid idea Blacknova.

So my thanks are to everyone who has ever pitched an idea into BattleTech Canon or non-Canon

And may it continue.

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.
