The death of Khan Santin West by a Dominion headhunting mission would mark the tone of the war to come. Ajax Drummond would be elected Khan in his place, and would use his newfound position to better tie his Clan to the Draconis Combine. Securing logistical and industrial aid from the Coordinator himself, Drummond would build stockpiles of munitions and parts for the inevitable re-escalation of combat between Clan Nova Cat and the Rasalhague Dominion. Drummond, however, did not expect the willingness the Dominion would have to wage a fullblown war.

The [[Second Combine-Dominion War]] would tear Drummond's Nova Cats—and the Irece Prefecture they were meant to safeguard—completely apart. Ghost Bear forces showed no mercy, running a scorched earth campaign meant to destroy Nova Cat infrastructure and kill its people. The secretive [[Kokuryu-kai|Black Dragon Society]], aiming to weaken two Clans with one conflict, would facilitate and escalate hostilities between the Clans with targeted intelligence leaks—even perpetrating their own genocides upon Nova Cat populations. The war would steadily escalate, and Drummond himself would nearly fall in combat when the city of New Barcella on [[Irece]] was blown apart around him by indiscriminate Ghost Bear missile fire. Though peace would eventually be brokered between the Nova Cats, Dominion, and the Combine, it would leave the Nova Cats with horrendous civilian casualties, a shattered military, and their industries in ruin.

A direct result of the war would be the Combine's imposition of "Cultural Preservation Districts" onto Clan Nova Cat. Little more than reservations meant to keep Nova Cats away from the general populace of Irece Prefecture, the rights of Clan Nova Cat would be heavily curtailed by the new districts. Khan Drummond had little choice but the accept the terms laid out by the Combine—his broken military was hardly powerful enough to stand against Kuritan forces. This sense of betrayal from the coordinator and nation he had once admired left him bitter and angry, and much of his time would be spent on calming the emotions of the general Irece Prefecture populations to prevent further bloodshed.
