Kalvin Rosse was a Bloodnamed Trueborn warrior from Clan Nova Cat.

History

He was an officer in the 1st Nova Cat Guards and could not accept that Star Colonel Kothinur Gritas masqueraded the unit as other ones during its raids. In an effort to stop the deceptive masquerades as other units which he saw as dishonorable, Rosse challenged and defeated Kothinur Gritas just before Operation BULLDOG.[1] Prior to Kalvin Rosse taking command, the First Guards were used extensively by saKhan Carns to train new Nova Cat commands in anti-Inner Sphere tactics. This was seen as solahma duty by many of the First's warriors, and stopping the practice as much as possible made Rosse very popular with the warriors under his command.[2]

In the 3059 Trial of Position-style Trial of Possession for Avon Rosse and Star Captain Dara Nostra achieved five of six kills against their SLDF opponents, three of those by Rosse. In order to avoid winning, Rosse turned on Nostra and crippled her Huntsman before being brought down by the remaining SLDF BattleMech. This allowed Rosse to retain the rank of Star Colonel and the SLDF to succeed in the Trial.[3]
