Bearclaw G-Raid Repelled! - Ler @ 01:36 PST
Battle raged across the Nova Cats' holdings on Bearclaw tonight. The infamous unit that can not be named by a clan (but is named here anyways because CNC does not care: WidowMaker) showed up in force to rob the Nova Cats of their valuable Elixor.

The muddy, battered, and empty handed warriors of the Dark Caste limped back to their dropship, only to find that it had been covered in TP by Nova Cat elementals.

Reprimand - Ler @ 04:58 PST
Star Colonel Nate Nostra recieved a dress down tonight from Galaxy Commander Red Rosse via HPG tonight.

He successfuly commanded the Nova Cat speacial ops team in the covert mission on Staplefield. Apparently what made his Galaxy Commander so mad was that he forgot to account for salvage and was forced to leave a light battlemech behind. This on top of recent loss of Elixir was more than could be tolerated.

Commander Nostra was seen leaving the HPG room on his flag ship with a small smile after reading the response from Red Rosse. The Nova Cat Galaxy Commander was not pleased that Nate was "forced" to leave Red's prized Osirus on planet.

Treasures Lost at TF4 - Ler @ 04:54 PST
The solar storms finally stopped in the system of TF4 tonight, allowing the Dark Caste to launch their raids on Clan Nova Cat.

In a series of fast paced hard hitting engagements they swept in upon the Nova Cats. The Clanners boldly defended what was theirs and met the pirates head on.

While it seemed that the Nova Cats were mostly successful in their defense, it appears the Dark Caste were able to make off with a large ammount of Elixir. The men and women guarding the brewery have been punished: No Elixir for one month's time!

CNC Rebuffs DG Probes - Ler @ 13:43 PST
Over the last month there have been probes into the rear areas of Clan Nova Cats' space by the Inner Sphere unit, the Davion Heavy Guards. It is speculated that they are looking for a weakness in the defense of the small clan, so that they can exploit it. Clan Nova Cat, once a prominent force in the Clan Invasion force has been all but pushed out of the Inner Sphere. It would seem likely that these probes by the DHG and other small units are a precurser for a final offensive, aimed at removing CNC from their corridor once and for all. It is not yet known if these recent attacks have gained the Inner Sphere any valuable knowledge...

Staplefield Action Succeeds! - Ler @ 13:41 PST
Tonight the forces of CNC and DCM engaged in a relatively minor battle on Staplefield. What should have been a quick in and out fight turned into a full week of guerrilla tactics, going back and forth between the two forces. Twice both forces tried to engage each other in a decisive action, but severe technical difficulties on both sides forced the commanders to call a cease fire. Finally, on the third attempt the Nova Cat forces were able to engage in battle free of technical difficulties. Rumors abound that DCM was still having trouble with their war machines, but tired of the hot and humid Staplefield the Nova Cats pressed on anyways. Valuable lessons regarding the aggressive and destructive nature of the fauna and flora of Staplefield were learned by both sides.

Nova Cats Tag House Jurai! - Ler @ 04:04 PST
Scattered and scetchy reports are still coming in regarding the series of fights taking place between Clan Nova Cat and the infamous pirates, House Jurai.

The indications are that the numerically superior Nova Cats pulled off victory on all fronts, even when faced with the elite assault forces of the pirates. Some eye witnesses reported seeing some of the Nova Cats fireing on each other, so this reporter decided to ask a Galaxy Commander what he knew of this.

GC Red Rosse had this to say: "Nova Cat commanders are expected to get at least two kills per engagement, so if it looks like the enemy will be destroyed before they can get that, they will often take down some of their own forces. This way, they can maintain their kill record as is expected for their rank, and the pilot who is on the recieving end loses no honor themselves. It is not shameful in the least to have your omni mech shot out from under you by a Galaxy Commander, unless of course, you happen to be a Khan."

This reporter tried commenting on how this seemed wastefull, and therefore against clan tradition, but was met by a most unnerving look, so decided to drop the matter.
