His graduation put him into service on the [[CargoShip]] ''[[Abyssal]]'' where he gained significant notice when he passed his [[Trial of Commerce]] with a significant profit with the deal he forged involving integrated network services, a very lucrative deal.<ref>''Battletech Legends'', p. 164</ref>

As ovKhan, Petr had a legendary rivalry with [[Sha Clarke]] of the [[Beta Aimag (Spina Khanate)|Beta Aimag]] where Petr used to beat Sha at every turn, but then Sha began to trounce Petr at every competition.  This rivalry culminated in Petr's greatest failure, costing him a lucrative contract and leaving him terribly scarred. Haunted by that failure, he embraced the scars as debts to pay. It was during this time that Petr found out about a conspiracy that revolved around Sha Clarke.<ref name=ER3145/><ref>''Battletech Legends'', p. 164</ref>

November 1st, Petr has received summons by the Khan to meet with him at ilKhanate. He also received a datacube recording from Snow.  In the message Snow told him that he had held up his end of the bargain by saving Stewart from falling into Marik-Stewart Commonwealth's clutches. She admitted she was not actually with the Republic's Intelligence Agency, Snow suggesting that Petr simply drop the matter. As promised, she reported that the Republic will owe the Sea Foxes a favor, and she said that if ever needs him. He only needs to drop call for "Snow", he would receive a datacube waiting for him.

After the [[Battle of Terra (3151)|Battle of Terra]], in which [[Clan Wolf]] became the [[ilClan]], and [[Alaric Ward]] [[ilKhan]], Petr traveled to [[Shasta]] on 15 September of the same year, where he meet with Star Colonel [[Othar]], the so called Viceroy of the Empire, and his assistant, Star Captain [[Radu (Clan Wolf)|Radu]]. He proved to have an extensive knowledge of both, and informed Othar that the [[Clan Protectorate]] forces which had invaded the Empire were defending it, and offered to stop an invasion, in exchange for control of all the Empire's [[HPG]]s, both working and nonfunctional. Othar agreed to consider it.<ref>''Redemption Rites'', p. 131</ref>
 
 
As part of a plan, Kalasa, after hearing rumors about attacks of the Free Worlds League's provinces against the [[Wolf Empire]] territory, traveled to the capital of the capital of the [[Covenant Worlds]], where he subtly encouraged future attacks against the Empire. Finally, he went to Marik, where enlisted the Spirit Cats' help to defend the Empire. He succeeded, but at a great cost: during a [[Trial of Possession]], his aide, ''Kila'', was killed, filling Petr with sorrow and guilt.<ref>''Empire Alone'', p. 8-12</ref>
