==History==
 
==History==
During the Spirit Cats' search for a safe haven in the [[Dark Age Era]], Caitlin participated in the bidding for the right to travel with her trinary to the planet [[Wyatt]] and investigate whether it was the sanctuary from the coming destruction that Kev Rosse saw in his visions. She ultimately lost the bidding to Star Captain [[Cox Devalis]] when he bid only himself, albeit augmented. Unable to accept the outcome of the bidding, Caitlin asked permission to face Cox in what she termed a 'Trial of Equals', a test of their skills to see which command would investigate the planet.<ref name=ToOp44>''Target of Opportunity'', p. 44</ref>
 
  
Facing off in a [[Circle of Equals]] in the Mill Tails of McPherson on [[Marcus]], a mining area covered in small mounds or scrap ore and debris, Caitlin was defeated by the non-standard tactics of Cox. Instead of charging her missile-heavy ''[[Vulture Mk III]]'' to take away the range advantage and bring his heavier ''[[Warhammer IIC]]'''s short range weapons into play, Cox used a hit-and-run style of fighting, firing at range and retreating behind the mounds for cover.  Frustrated by Cox unwillingness to engage in stand-up combat, Caitlin allowed herself to be goaded into overheating her Mech and lost the trial when her Vulture's ammunition stores suffered a heat-induced explosion.

Caitlin survived the trial, but felt that Cox had won in a dishonorable manner and was considering contesting the result until Kev Rosse stepped in declaring that, while Star Captain Cox may not fight in a predictable fashion, he had won the trial fairly and had earned the right to travel to Wyatt.<ref>''Target of Opportunity'', p. 51</ref>
