Tukayyid

While Khan Leroux spoke out against the subtle plan fostered by Clans Jade Falcon and Smoke Jaguar to use the bidding process to maneuver Clan Wolf into landing last on Tukayyid, in the end Clan Nova Cat played along - after all, the price of victory was continued glory and a renewed opportunity to win the position of ilClan for itself. Confident of success against the mostly green ComGuard forces, the Khans bid elements of their two remaining functional Galaxies to take their objectives, as well as bringing forward the fresh troops of Gamma Galaxy. Their bid won them the right to land third on Tukayyid.

Khan Leroux chose to launch the campaign with the Clans' efficient and effective hover-drop maneuver SaKhan Lucian Carns immediately questioned Alpha Galaxy's ability to take Tost after sustaining such devastating losses, but Khan Leroux led his troops against the city as planned.

By the third day of the fighting, Clan Nova Cat found itself perilously low on ammunition saKhan Carns ordered Gamma Galaxy to withdraw.

As Carns had hoped, the unsuspecting 244th and 467th Divisions met at the lake in order to combine their weakened units and pursue the fleeing Clan force. As Precentors Slagle and Shykes tried to organize their troops on the shore, Beta Galaxy emerged from the water's depths and attacked. The Nova Cats shattered both divisions and captured several ComStar supply depots.

Clan forces now controlling the Losiije Lake District. Before Beta and Gamma Galaxy could make use of their captured supplies, the Ninth, 417th, and 116th Divisions threw themselves against the Clan forces in a fierce counterattack, successfully recapturing the supply depots. Faced with this setback, Khan Leroux ordered his battered MechWarriors to withdraw to their DropShips and few made it back.

The ComGuards handed Clan Nova Cat its final Tukayyid defeat.

Operation Bulldog

Nova Cat Khans began a series of secret talks with the Draconis Combine. The two cultures, surprisingly, share a belief in mysticism and have cooperated on numerous occasions. In the years prior to Operation Bulldog, Khan Severen Leroux began having visions depicting a nova cat being devoured by a dragon.

Death of a Clan

When Ice Hellion Khan Asa Taney made clear his intentions to renew the invasion, Khans Leroux and Carns saw little choice but to side with the Star League. Khan Leroux's visions foretold of certain doom for the Inner Sphere if anyone but the Nova Cats battled the Ice Hellions at Lyod Glacier. The two Nova Cat Khans convinced Prince Victor of this the story of his vision.

With the defeat of the Smoke Jaguars in the Inner Sphere and on Huntress, the Clans found themselves with the unprecedented prospect of an Inner Sphere invasion of Strana Mechty. The Star League Defense Force soon challenged the Clans to a Trial of Refusal over the invasion. If the Inner Sphere won, the invasion was over and the invading Clans would retain the worlds they had conquered. If the Clans won, the invasion would resume. The Warden Clans refused to participate in the Trial, leaving the eight Crusader Clans to face the SLDF. As the Smoke Jaguars had only two Binaries of troops left, it was decided that each Crusader Clan would only commit two Binaries to the battle.

The Ice Hellions were tasked with holding a Lyod Glacier. Khan Asa Taney was furious with outrage when an elite Binary from Clan Nova Cat arrived to battle the Hellions. The battle on Lyod Glacier was savage. Nova Cat Khan Severen Leroux shot down Asa Taney's Visigoth fighter. Both Nova Cat leader did considerable damage to the Ice Hellion troops before being killed. The Ice Hellions, demoralized at the loss of their Khan Asa Taney, fought well but lost to the Nova Cat Binary.

The Ice Hellions were not the only Clan to lose to the Star League. The forces from Clans Hell's Horses, Blood Spirit, Fire Mandrill, and Smoke Jaguar also lost their portion of the challenge. With their defeats, the invasion is over.

With their leaders dead, it is unknown at this time who will now lead the Nova Cats. Before his death, Khan Carns committed the entirety of Clan Nova Cat to the Star League. How the Nova Cats will serve the Star League is presently unknown.

In what has beocame known as the Great Refusal, both Severne Leroux and Lucian Carns died so that the Star League would triumph.

(Khan Severen Leroux and saKhan Lucian Carns) died in the Great Judgment of Strana Mechty.
