'''Jacali Nostra''' (????-????) is a [[Khan]] of [[Clan Nova Cat]] during the 3100s. She agreed to attach a [[Galaxy]] of Clan Warriors to [[Katana Tormark]]'s forces in Republic space, in order to take the rest of the [[Dieron]] Military District. In return, Tormark passed an undisclosed agreement on to Khan Jacali, which seemed to both shock her and fill her with hope upon reading it.

'''Jacali Nostra''' was a [[trueborn]] [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] and the final [[Khan]] of [[Clan Nova Cat]].  
 
  
==History==
+
Her voice is permanently damaged, a result from the various Trials necessary to achieve her position.
===Second Combine-Ghost Bear War===
 
The [[Second Combine-Ghost Bear War]] had a heavy impact upon Clan Nova Cat and also on the young Jacali Nostra. At the age of 10, her ''[[sibko]]'' was forced to flee from [[Kokuryu-kai|Black Dragon]] extermination squads on [[Teniente]]. This instilled in her a deep desire to free her Clan from the [[Draconis Combine]]. Jacali won her [[Bloodname]] in [[3114]], and eagerly joined the [[Kesari]] movement which she took a leading role. With the support from the rest of the members of the Kesari, she was able to easily win election to Khan in [[3120]].<ref name=ER3145/>
 
  
Her major achievement as Khan was the ability to rebuild the [[Clan Nova Cat Touman|Nova Cat ''touman'']] through years of negotiations with the Combine.  They gave the Nova Cats permission to rebuild their ''touman'', but it was still not as large as it had been in the previous century. This act gave her a groundswell of support and approval from her [[Clan]].<ref name=ER3145/>

*[[Heretic's Faith]]
In the early 3130s, Nostra began the planning of removing the Nova Cats from Combine space.  She started this off by giving material support to [[Katana Tormark]] and her [[Dragon's Fury]] before the [[blackout]].  Jacali believed that Katana would one day become a thorn in the side of the Kurita family.<ref name=ER3145/>

Nostra agreed to attach a [[Galaxy]] of Nova Cat Warriors to Katana Tormark's forces in [[Republic of the Sphere|Republic]] space to help reconquer the remaining worlds that make up the [[Dieron Military District]]. In return, Tormark passed an undisclosed agreement on to Khan Jacali.<ref>''Heretic's Faith'', p. 48</ref>
 
 
 
Jacali unleashed her Cats in an open revolt in [[3141]] throwing their support behind [[Emi Kurita]], who was the daughter of Coordinator [[Vincent Kurita]]. The Khan was promised that if her rebellion succeed in dethroning the "[[Yori Kurita|Puppet]]" [[Coordinator]], the [[Irece Prefecture]] would become independent and ruled by the Nova Cats.<ref name=ER3145/>Unfortunately for Nostra and the rest of the rebels, the strength of their opponents was far greater than what they estimated.  She led the Cats' defense until fell to the tactical nuclear weapon that destroyed the genetic depository during the [[Battle of Irece (3142)|final defense]] of [[Irece]]. Her formation receives the nuke's impact, and she died at the same time as her Clan.<ref name=ER3145/><ref>''It Ends in Fire'' </ref>
