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.

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.

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.
