Clan Nova Cat warriors place a high priority on accuracy, and were known to challenge the [[Clan Goliath Scorpion|Goliath Scorpions]] for marksmanship prior to the Nova Cat Abjuration.  Nova Cat Warriors have a marked preference for laser armed designs, a practice that originated from the Nova Cats perfecting the ER Lasers in use by Clan forces to this day. Recently{{when}}, Nova Cat warriors have been lead to cross train across a wide variety of unit types, the better to disguise the ''Touman'''s issue with low resources.

Nova Cat commanders prize flexibility in tactical doctrine.  They are quick to adapt what works, regardless of origin, and are known to study the tactics of their rivals. The Nova Cats particularly prize the 'Hover-Drop' maneuver.  In the 'hover-drop', Nova Cat 'Mechs will deploy from their dropships while still in the lower atmosphere, removing the need for reentry cocoons. While dangerous, it allows the 'Mechs to fire while descending and minimizes enemy reaction time.  In some cases, Nova Cat 'Mechs are known to disembark at low level, allowing the dropship to engage with its own weapon and provide additional cover fire. <ref> ''Strategic Operations'', p. 90, "Punitive Strike" </ref>  Nova Cat units have also seen an increase in the use of combined arms tactics, more out of necessity then want.{{when}}{{cn}}

Revision as of 14:10, 7 May 2022

The Clan Nova Cat Touman comprises all military assets owned by Clan Nova Cat. Once one of the strongest Clan Toumans, recent changes caused by the Nova Cat's Abjuration and other conflicts have left it a shell of its former self. Rebuilding difficulties have been compounded with a lack of resources.

History

Main article: Clan Nova Cat § History

Being led by their Warrior Castes, the history of the Nova Cat's Touman is intrinsically tied to the history of Clan Nova Cat.

Overview

Clan Nova Cat warriors place a high priority on accuracy, and were known to challenge the Goliath Scorpions for marksmanship prior to the Nova Cat Abjuration. Nova Cat Warriors have a marked preference for laser armed designs, a practice that originated from the Nova Cats perfecting the ER Lasers in use by Clan forces to this day. Recently[when?], Nova Cat warriors have been lead to cross train across a wide variety of unit types, the better to disguise the Touman's issue with low resources.

Nova Cat commanders prize flexibility in tactical doctrine. They are quick to adapt what works, regardless of origin, and are known to study the tactics of their rivals. The Nova Cats particularly prize the 'Hover-Drop' maneuver. In the 'hover-drop', Nova Cat 'Mechs will deploy from their dropships while still in the lower atmosphere, removing the need for reentry cocoons. While dangerous, it allows the 'Mechs to fire while descending and minimizes enemy reaction time. In some cases, Nova Cat 'Mechs are known to disembark at low level, allowing the dropship to engage with its own weapon and provide additional cover fire.[1] Nova Cat units have also seen an increase in the use of combined arms tactics, more out of necessity then want.[when?][citation needed]

Clan Nova Cat are opportunistic when it comes Clan honor. They still adhere to zellbrigen when possible, but are quick to drop it when refused.

Ground Forces

Traditionally, Nova Cat Clusters were standardized into one of eight types. Nova Cat units were focused on 'Mechs, specifically the OmniMech, as the core of their Touman. Their forces appeared to favor medium and light designs, and those types continue to be the predominant 'Mech size seen in Nova Cat units. Clan Nova Cat maintained a typical Clan distribution of unit, with front line units using OmniMechs, second line units using standard BattleMechs and with vehicles being reserved for Solahmna units. The use of armored infantry was unpopular with the Nova Cats, but not forgotten.

Since their Abjuration, heavy losses, combined with a lack of resources, have radically changed the makeup of a Nova Cat cluster. The Nova Cats are no longer able to maintain any sort of purity with their forces, with standard BattleMechs, and even vehicles now appearing in front line formations. It has also seen the increased use of older machines, taken from Brian Caches, as well as Inner Sphere designs imported from outside governments. Nova Cat forces have also started the use of ProtoMechs and seen an increased focus on armored infantry.[when?][citation needed]

Aerospace Forces

The Nova Cats prize the flexibility and strength of aerospace units. Because of this, Nova Cat commanders are likely to keep a higher ratio of fighters in their bidding compared to most Clans.[citation needed]

Naval Forces

The Nova Cats maintained a Naval Tradition that rivals the Snow Ravens, and while they have never focused as high a priority on Warships, maintained one of the larger fleets among the Clans.[citation needed]

Organization (Including Historical Units)

The Touman in 3079.[2][3][4]

Former Galaxies

In 3143, the Nova Cats would fight in a Kurita Rebellion. After backing the wrong side of the war, the Nova Cat Touman was destroyed as a result.

Uniform

Field and Dress Uniform

The field uniform of the Nova Cats consisted of a charcoal grey, full length body suit with banded collar. Glossy black patches, mimicking the pattern of a Nova Cat's fur, form shoulderpads. A thin black line runs down the body and left arm of the uniform. Footwear consists of a mocassin like black boot. While not officially part of the uniform, many Nova Cat warriors also add a leather pouch to carry vineers from past battles.

The Nova Cat dress uniform adds a black cape and cowl to the field uniform.

SLDF Pattern

When the Second Star League was still active, the Field uniform of the Nova Cats underwent a change. This version of the Nova Cat uniform merged the SLDF uniform with elements of the traditional Clan Nova Cat uniform.

Ceremonial Uniform

Worn only during ritual functions and Council meetings, the ceremonial uniform consists of shorts, vest with studded collar, and fingerless gloves. These pieces are made of black leather. Laced leggings are added when footwear is desired, but this is considered optional. The uniform also adds an intricate headpiece, stylised after a nova cat head, that is worn on when called on by the Oathmaster or during Grand Council Meetings.

An alternate version of the ceremonial uniform, worn in the presence of other Clans, replaces the shorts and vest with a full length body suit.

Insignia

Nova Cat warriors wear a colored Dagger Star pin on the right side of their collar, denoting their branch of service. A pin on the left side of their collar denotes their Point position in a Star. A shoulder patch on the right shoulder denotes a warrior's rank, while the left shoulder shows his Galaxy and Cluster assignment. Finally, the insignia of Clan Nova Cat is worn as a patch on the left breast.

Ranks

While abjured, Clan Nova Cat maintains standard Clan Military Organization and ranks.

Notes

The Luthien (scenario pack) lists a 4th Nova Cat Assault Galaxy and a 183rd Nova Cat Assault Galaxy as being involved in the Battle of Luthien in 3052. However, these two names are in error as the developers have stated that the book does not use the proper unit naming conventions for Clan Galaxies. The name of the Galaxies involved on Luthien are unclear at this time.
