History

Nova Cat Abjuration

In April 27th, 3060, Grand Council of the Clans voted to Abjuration or eject Clan Nova Cat from Clan space, with only a month's warning. Clan Jade Falcon's 53rd Battle Cluster attacked the Nova Cats' garrison forces without Trial. The Falcons had felt that the Cats were dezgra, and so did not deserve the honor of a trial. Nova Cat defenders instead of conducting a fighting withdrawal, went head-on against the 53rd's forces to prevent Falcons penetrating into the Nova Cats' major population centers. These Nova Cats attempted to buy time for their civilian castes to evacuate the planet, and paid with their lives. The 53rd Battle Cluster destroyed all Nova Cat forces to the last warrior, preventing the majority of the civilian caste from escaping the planet.[2]

The Wars of Reaving

In the aftermath of the Trial of Annihilation of Clan Smoke Jaguar and the expulsion of Clan Steel Viper from the Inner Sphere, the Clan Homeworlds experienced a period of increased military operations. While largely consolidationCite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag[3]. Though the Crusader and Warden philosophies may have played a significant role in the previous century's politics, a new paradigm of Inner Sphere Invading Clans and Homeworld Clans began to emerge.[4]

3069 saw the beginning of renewed hostilities between Clans Viper and Jade Falcon, centered on the planet Marshall. In February, Clan Steel Viper defended a Trial of Possession against the rebuilt 2nd Falcon Velites using new, mixed Clusters, the 5th Rattle. The speed and surprise of the new units resulted in stunning Falcon defeat. However later that same year the 2nd Velites would handily defeat the Viper Fusiliers, this time not only prepared for the new mixed Clusters, but also breaking bid without proper notification and destroying much of the Viper force with artillery. The opportunistic discard of Clan Honor itself was used as evidence of "Inner Sphere Taint" during the Exodus Day festivities, 5 November 3069, when Khan Brett Andrews called for a Trial of Abjuration against the Falcons. Though the vote did not succeed, Clan Steel Viper arrived in Jade Falcon occupied systems of Ironhold, Huntress, Marshall, and Eden on 7 November, declaring Trials of Possession for the Falcons' holdings. Gatekeeper, Tokasha, Glory, and Barcella followed. Jade Falcon colonies on eight systems belonged to Clan Steel Viper by January 3070, with the Falcons clinging to Lum and Strana Mechty.[5][6]

These are proximate distances between worlds using the Pentagon and Kernesky Cluster Map scale.[15] As of this writing, there is little information that gives detail description of Gatekeeper in current sourcebooks.
