Masters & Minions describes the RWN Dystopia; an abandoned, Naga-class ship found by ROM near a former Republican world. So this wasn't in Terra's system; it was back in the RWR. They had it before the Coup.

Or it was captured after the Coup and later fled the TH for home when the SLDF liberated the Hegemony. Right now with the info me we have this inconclusive.

What "home?" The Commonwealth had invaded and annexed the Rim Worlds Republic. There wasn't a home left to return to. :-\

It's possible that ship was recommissioned by the RWR after the report, but before the Coup; was captured by the RWR during the coup and moved to the Republic before Kerensky's invasion; fled to Republic immediately after the Civil War and was scuttled.

Plenty of possibilities.

I suppose it is possible, though you have to admit, it's unlikely. Even the ships of the RWN which fled Kerensky's wrath stayed near their posted systems. The few that did not didn't head back toward the Republic. They (like the Mexican Legion and other deserters) fled into the Member States. If the RWN Dystopia were found in the Free Worlds League, I'd be apt to say "deserters!" and call it at that.

But we may never know.

Fleeing the Hegemony? Very likely.

We know many of the RWR forces fled the TH as the war dragged on.  It's not unreasonable that some would try to return to their families in the (former) RWR. The worlds were captured by the SLDF and the LC, it's not like the populations were wiped out.

For those interested:

http://bg.battletech.com/news/news-and-announcements/lance-pack-release-schedule-preorder-first-two-now/

The first two Lance Packs are available(at least on this side of the great pond, though I understand that they have been available in the US for about a week now).

I preordered one each of the first two through my FLGS and they arrived yesterday.
I can hardly wait for Saturday to fetch them!

I must say that I am rather impressed with the Lance Packs. The Minis seem to be of good quality and the Alpha Strike cards also come very handy.

Just my two € cents though.

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.

It's probably the last "Star League" books sure these guys are now the Clans but the characters are at their core still the SLDF its an interesting transition story
