Character History

Sha Clarke Affair

ovKhan Petr Kalasa in June 3134, he starts to receive data cubes from mysterious women named Snow.[3] Claiming to have information that affects his entire Khanate, if not entire Clan.

The Voidswimmer arrives in Augustine system on June 20th, 3134. Where Scientist Kif organizes a gravity experiment using a Invader Jumpship and five DropShips using thin wires. The experiment fails and resulting destruction of the Invader causes trial of grievance. Which is played out on July 4th in the Savannah system. Where the trial is conducted. The ovKhan chair is taken out for the trial.

Scientist Kif, stops jury part of the trial and volunteering to be adjournment from the scientist caste.

ovKhan Petr Kalasa is haunted by his past failures where erred due to his arrogance. Lost market on Chamdo that lead to a deadly conflict; the lost chance to build a enclave on Chesterton; the lost colony around Klathandu IV.[4]

saKhan Sennet, ovKhan Kalasa's commander, hand sent Delta Aimag to Prefecture VI & VII to establish new markets, and communicate with worlds that had been in "dark" of the HPG blackout for two years.

Petr had left his Aide, Jesup, in dark his why he was by passing various worlds such as Augustine.

June 15th, Voidswimmer arrives in the Adhafera in Prefecture VIII of Republic of the Sphere. There Petr had hope to break into new market on world that had been isolated for so long. A world that has never meet Sea Foxes before. Landing in the demilitarized Overlord-C Dropship, Ocean of Stars. The ovKhan meets with Adhafera's First Governor. He rebuffs the governor's dinner invitation politely asks to see people of the Merchant House so he and his people.

However, when deal nears, ships of the Beta Aimag arrive in system, as they had been secretly tracking Voidswimmer movements.

ovKhan Sha Clarke announced that there be a Trail of Bloodright, to win the bloodname of Sennet between the two Khanates, approved by Khan Hawker. Petr suspected, among others that it was not concise that the two should meet in such isolated system.

On Adhafera, he fought with his Aimag against Beta Aimag. Loosing the trials to them. Petr is injured while fighting in his Tiburon and Sha Clarke's Sphinx.[5] He receives nasty scares on his face.[6] Days later, Sha comes to Petr as he is recovering and talks to him sea how he was doing. Petr confronts Sha about his actions, that of acting only interest of his Khanate and not for Clan as whole. He indirectly answers, that for same reason why Clan Sea Fox changed its name from Sea Fox to Diamond Shark and then again to Sea Fox; was for survival; to adapt to new situations. Sha believes he is in right to change the Clan to something else, to adapt new changes. He feels that Clan's leadership is eroding its ability to survive.

SaFactor Tia, lead negotiator for Delta Aimag comes to recovering ovKhan Petr and tells him that they are losing ground to Beta Amiga's saFactor. Also that since the arrival of Beta, Merchants of Adhafera have been playing both ends to meet their needs. Tia comments that her opponent, saFactor from Beta is gifted. Petr asks her if she is failing him. She said, would only fail him if she didn't use ALL her skills and then failed. She feels the concessions being asked to be made are becoming unprofitable.[7] Petr finding it Beta would be waste to continue to out negotiate them. So he orders to delay resolution of negotiations, take their time. He then believes meeting with his saKhan, whom is located in the Tanaia Borealis system help him proceed going forward.

By August 10th, Voidswimmer traveled to Tanaia Borealis system, where Spina Khanate command ship was currently occupying.

Petr and Jesup took shuttle to the 2.5 million ton ArcShip Poseidon. Meets with saKhan Mikel Sennet in his residence on board the ship's Alpha Community Prime. In his meeting with saKhan Sennet, the saKhan accuses him of being jealous of saKhan Clarke. He also tells him he knows what the saKhan is up to, but with no evidence of wrong doing that he would not act. Frustrated, he apogizes and withdraws returns to Voidswimmer and has ship move back to Adhafera.

On the 29th, Inner Sphere Jumpship arrives, disrupts the pp between Adhafera's Trade Master Tidinic and the two competing Aimag. The feeling there needs to be resolution, since the Adhafera trying to have each Aimag to concede a better offer. The Sha approaches Petr and agrees its time for Trial of Possession to negotiate with Adhafera Traders. They select warriors, to fight proxy fight between two ovKhans, and in end Sha's Beta Aimag wins. Next day, Petr goes to meet Snow, to find information she has come up with. Meeting her in a rundown so-call Canopian Pleasure Circus, which disgusts him further by the sights and smells.

She takes him to unexpected sight, fight between a four arm-creature named a Nolan, which as been pitted against people who are dressed in ancient gladiator costumes. There she bargains with him that if he would interfere with the invasion of Stewart by the Marik-Commonwealth, she would give him evidence that Sha Clarke has been negotiating secret bargain with the invading Clan Jade Falcon.[8]

On September 8th, Petr & saFactor Tai meet again with Master Trader Tidinic, as come find out that Beta are leaving planet. No longer negotiating with them. Petr gives Tidinic ultimatum of consent to the completely new offer of trade. He gives 72 hours before he and his clan's DropShips depart the planet. Petr instructs Jesup to find someone among the remaining Beta Aimag personnel whom may know of Sha Clarke's dealings with Jade Falcons. On the 8th, Petr learns that Beta Aimag is pulling out completely from the planet. Sighting "accidents" on both a out-bound DropShip and at the planetary compound, prompt OvKhan Clarke declare planet enemy territory.

This action prevents Petr to get evidence he needs to prove the Clarke's guilt & denies Delta to successfully cut deal with planet's traders. In midst of pulling out on the 10th, Petr tries to think of reason why where Clarke is going and how he will get this evidence he needs. Then in night, Snow arrives in sneak suit and presents the mentally broken Elemental Croin of the Beta Aimag. Who was witness of Clarke's dealing with the Falcons and possessed the record device from his Elemental suit recorded the event.

Petr departs the planet to Voidswimmer, where recently arrived on the 21st, when incoming Jumpship nearly jumps into the same space as his ship. He manages with extensive damage to Delta Community, move the ship out way with its seldom used Interplanetary Engines.[9] The incoming ship turns out to be Spina Khanate flagship, Poseidon. The event of near death of most of his Aimag open his eyes first time. That his own self-fishiness, that he not been working for greater good of Delta Aimag, but only himself.

With this in his eyes, he went to saKhan Mikel Sennet, presented him evidence he needed to prove that Sha Clarke had been working to splinter the Clan and kill the Khan.[10] SaKhan is put into a state of shock, disbelief, as they watched events that Battle Armor ROM presented to them.

Petr motion that only course to do find the Khan, before it was too late prevent the destruction of their Clan. SaKhan agrees and dispatches entire fleet. SaKhan asks how to deal with Sha, which Petr volunteers to take Scout Class Jumpship, his personal Trinary to pursue and destroy Sha.


After arriving in orbit above Stewart on September 26th, Petr has his DropShip ,Ocean of Stars, holds station and observes what is going on. With only mixed Trinary of troops to kill Sha, he needs be wisely pick out where Sha command is. Observing number Marik-Stewart troops fighting the local militia for control of the planet. Jesup confronts him about Petr's waiting, urging immediate act instead of waiting.

Argument in sues, with Petr stating he wants to make sure not allow Sha to escape. Petr compared Sha possible escape to that Ghost Bears allowing the Clan Wolverine to escape and damage they brought by escaping them.[11] He would want revenge on the Clan after he and fellow clansmen ended his dream.

On the ground the next day, Stewart is midst of a Civil War. Where Legate is leading pro-Republic Militia forces against the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth forces and Earl Stewart his pro-Marik forces.[12] Petr and his forces try avoiding engaging with Marik & Republic forces. However, the fog & chaos of the battlefield lead to clashes all the combatants. Petr encountering a Inner Sphere Panther which attacks him, but he quickly dispatches due to extensive damage it has. He calls out for Petr whom is lost in chaos and fog of the battle outside New Edinburgh's DropPort, only finds Sha Clarke. Clarke greets him as he approaches, Petr thanks him for helping to recognized his self-fishiness, that he would make sure Clarke would be remembered. Making way through fog to him, to fight him one on one, Petr discovers that Jesup standing next to Clarke's Sphinx.

Petr gets out of his mech and meets Sha and his men, which include Jesup in their numbers. Petr calls, Trial of Annihilation on him and his people, which includes Jesup. Sha tells him, that Jesup had joined up with him because Petr was not seeing him and other as with other that joined him beyond a balance sheet.

Petr & Sha go hand to hand in agree to fighting the Trial of Annihilation. Should Sha lose, he, his genes legacies, sibkos, and that of his allies whom stand with him will be destroyed. The two fight hand to hand, Sha taking advantage of Petr's injuries while piloting his Tiburon, knock him down. The two continue knock each other down. Petr finally understanding he needs to put everything aside from including his life to defeat Sha and his machinations. Uttering the words I am Clan Sea Fox, he makes his final assault on Sha, defeating him.

November 1st, Petr has received summons by the Khan to meet with him at ilKanate. Also received Datacube from Snow. In the message Snow tells him that he has earned his end of the bargain by saving Stewart from falling into Mark-Stewart Commonwealth's clutches. She admits she is not actual Republic's Intelligence Agency, she say tells him her own way to simply drop it. As promised, she has reported that Republic will owe Sea Foxes a favor, and she said that if ever needs him. He only needs to drop call for "Snow", he would received a datacube waiting for him.
