The refugees of Clan Nova Cat have only now just started to rebuild themselves as a culture.  Granted full independence from the Elysium Federation, existing as a military ally, rather than a subject.  Even though they have started building their own battlemechs, the limitations of inner sphere technology chaffed the once proud clan.  Khan Brett needed a symbol to bring pride to his military, he needed Clan Technology again.

Capabilities:
The Rifleman was chosen for it’s particular history with Clan Nova Cat.  Khan Phillip Drummond Operated a RFL-3N Rifleman as a Mechwarrior for the RWA, and then a Rifleman II as the first Nova Cat Khan.  Always students of history every Nova Cat warrior knew this significance. 

But the military engineers behind the Rifleman IVC were not ignorant of their threats.  The new Rifleman is equipped with anti aircraft and anti vehicle firepower, only enhanced by an improved Garrett Targeting and Tracking system.

Deployments
The first Rifleman IVCs started rolling out of the Cats Cradle factory earlier this year.  The first Binary is belongs to the Phoenix Keshik, the currently active cluster of the New Nova Cat Military.  The remaining Binaries are being sent to Tel Aviv and Clan Sea Fox in exchange for the technical assistance in getting the Cats Cradle Industrial complex built.

Notable Pilots
Star Colonel Jean Leroux
Jean Leroux was a mere mechwarrior when the Dragon forced the Nova Cats to rebel.  Having operated a Rifleman IIC8 previously, switching to the IVC was an easy feat.  After successfully retesting he continues his command position in the Phoenix Keshik, though he often commands the rest of the IVCs in the AAA Binary rather then take the command star.

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.

yeah I dunno when the fandom decided collectivly that Phillip Drummond Operated a Rifleman or Rifleman II at some point, but I know it is collectivly agreed upon shortly after Operation Klondike came out.

from what I understand Windham Kathib operating a Bombardier is the same way.
