The First Nova Cat Guards was one of the premier units of Clan Nova Cat.

History

The First Guards were formed shortly after the conclusion of Operation KLONDIKE. The Guards took great pride in their marksmanship, with experienced warriors able to place a shot anywhere they liked on an opponent. Some warriors of the Cluster claimed that this skill was the result of a vision.[1]

During the preparatory Trials for Operation REVIVAL, the First represented Clan Nova Cat. They lost to Clan Smoke Jaguar, but defeated Clan Star Adder and Clan Blood Spirit. They lost the last round to Clan Jade Falcon, but were able to earn status as a reserve Clan.[2]

Operation Revival

After facing the deceptive tactics of the Inner Sphere during the early battles of invasion, then saKhan Lucian Carns demonstrated he was not above using similar tactics, ordering the 1st Guards to masquerade as other lesser skilled units when attacking numerous worlds. [3]

The First Guards fought on the following worlds during the invasion:

Pre-Wave Five

Wave Five

Tukayyid

Second Star League

The 1st Guards would fight on Avon during Operation Bulldog. [3]

Jihad

In 3069 the First Guards trained in small-unit and counter-intrusion tactics with DEST teams and mercenary forces on Avon.[7]

The First Nova Cat Guards were deployed to Stewart alongside the rest of Alpha Galaxy as a part of the Free Worlds League front of Operation SCOUR in May 3077. The 1st Guards moved to the capital city of New Edinburgh and engaged the defending Protectorate Militia units in a Trial of Annihilation.[8]

Officers

As of 3062 the commanding officer was Star Colonel Calvin Rosse. In an effort to stop the deceptive masquerades as other units which he saw as dishonorable, Rosse challenged and defeated former commander Kothinur Gritas just before Operation Bulldog. [3] As at May 3077 the local media on Stewart identified the commander of the 1st Guards as a Star Colonel Kalvin Rosse; it isn't known if this is the same individual who commanded the 1st Guards in 3062 or a member of the same Bloodhouse with a similar first name.[8]

Tactics

Prior to the Second Star League, the 1st Nova Cat Guards had a reputation for masquerading as other less skilled and equipped units to throw its foes off balance. [3]
