The '''Clan Nova Cat ''touman''''' comprises all military assets owned by [[Clan Nova Cat]]. Once one of the strongest [[Clan]] ''[[touman]]s'', recent changes caused by the Nova Cats' [[Trial of Abjuration|Abjuration]] and other conflicts have left it a shell of its former self. Rebuilding difficulties have been compounded by a lack of resources. ==History== {{main|Clan Nova Cat#History}} Being led by their Warrior Castes, the history of the Nova Cat ''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 [[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 cross-trained across a wide variety of unit types, the better to disguise the ''touman''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s issue with low resources. Nova Cat commanders prize flexibility in tactical doctrine. They are quick to adapt to 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 a 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 than want.{{when}}{{cn}} Clan Nova Cat is opportunistic when it comes to Clan honor. They still adhere to ''zellbrigen'' when possible, but are quick to drop it when refused. ===Ground Forces=== Traditionally, Nova Cat [[Cluster]]s 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 units, with front-line units using OmniMechs, second-line units using standard BattleMechs, and with vehicles being reserved for ''solahma'' 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 Cache]]s, as well as Inner Sphere designs imported from outside governments. Nova Cat forces have also started the use of [[ProtoMech]]s and seen an increased focus on armored infantry.{{when}}{{cn}} ===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.{{cn}} ==Organization (Including Historical: Units)== The ''touman'' in [[3079]].<ref>''Field Manual: ComStar'', pp. 116–124</ref><ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', pp. 95–97, 100</ref><ref>''Field Report: Clans'', p. 17</ref> ===Former Galaxies=== In 3143, the Nova Cats would fight in a Kurita Rebellion. After backing the wrong side in the war, the Nova Cat ''touman'' was destroyed as a result. ====Alpha Galaxy (Victory Over Delusion)==== {{main|Alpha Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)}} {|class="wikitable" width='800px' style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 2px solid black;" ! colspan="4" style="border-bottom:2px solid black"|Alpha Galaxy |- |width='200px'|[[image:ncaplha.png|150px]] |width='300px'|'''3051-57'''<br />[[Vision Keshik (Clan Nova Cat)|Vision Keshik]]<br/>[[1st Nova Cat Guards (Clan Nova Cat)|First Nova Cat Guards]]<br />[[449th Assault Cluster (Clan Nova Cat)|449th Assault Cluster]]<br />[[489th Assault Cluster (Clan Nova Cat)|489th Assault Cluster]] |width='300px'|'''3060'''<br />[[NovaStar Keshik (Clan Nova Cat)|NovaStar Keshik]]<br />First Nova Cat Guards<br />449th Assault Cluster<br />489th Assault Cluster |width='300px'|'''3067'''<br />NovaStar Keshik<br/>First Nova Cat Guards<br />449th Assault Cluster<br />489th Assault Cluster<br />[[Nova Cat Grenadiers (Clan Nova Cat)|Nova Cat Grenadiers Cluster]]<br />[[Dragonsfang (Clan Nova Cat)|Dragonsfang Cluster]] |} ====Delta Galaxy (Ways of Seeing)==== {{main|Delta Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)}} {|class="wikitable" width='800px' style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 2px solid black;" ! colspan="3" style="border-bottom:2px solid black"|Delta Galaxy |- |width='200px'|[[File:Delta Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat).jpg|150px]] |width='300px'|'''3062-67'''<br />[[Shiva Keshik (Clan Nova Cat)|Shiva Keshik]]<br />[[4th Nova Cat Guards (Clan Nova Cat)|Fourth Nova Cat Guards]] (The Oracles)<br />[[44th Nova Cat Cavaliers (Clan Nova Cat)|Forty-Fourth Nova Cat Cavaliers]] (The Five Actions)<br />[[46th Nova Cat Cavaliers (Clan Nova Cat)|Forty-Sixth Nova Cat Cavaliers]] (Fateful June)<br />[[119th Striker (Clan Nova Cat)|119th Striker Cluster]] (Self Harmony) |width='300px'|'''3079'''<br />Shiva Keshik<br />Fourth Nova Cat Guards<br />Forty-Fourth Nova Cat Cavaliers<br />Forty-Sixth Nova Cat Cavaliers<br />[[246th Battle (Clan Nova Cat)|246th Battle Cluster]] |} ====Tau Galaxy (A New Path)==== {{main|Tau Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)}} {|class="wikitable" width='800px' style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 2px solid black;" ! colspan="2" style="border-bottom:2px solid black"|Tau Galaxy |- |width='200px'|[[image:cntau.png|150px]] |width='300px'|'''3060-79'''<br />[[Vision Keshik (Clan Nova Cat)|Vision Keshik]]<br />[[9th Nova Cat Regulars (Clan Nova Cat)|Ninth Nova Cat Regulars]]<br />[[12th Nova Cat Regulars (Clan Nova Cat)|Twelfth Nova Cat Regulars]]<br />[[100th Striker (Clan Nova Cat)|100th Striker Cluster]]<br />[[274th Battle (Clan Nova Cat)|274th Battle Cluster]] |} ====Xi Galaxy (Rossei's Faithful Followers)==== {{main|Xi Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)}} {|class="wikitable" width='800px' style="background: #gray; text-align:center; border: 2px solid black;" ! colspan="4" style="border-bottom:2px solid black"|Xi Galaxy |- |width='200px'| [[File:Galaxy Xi (Clan Nova Cat) logo.png]] |width='300px'| '''3054'''<br />[[1st Garrison (Clan Nova Cat)|First Garrison Cluster]]<br />[[3rd Garrison (Clan Nova Cat)|Third Garrison Cluster]]<br /> |width='300px'| '''3062'''<br />First Garrison Cluster<br />Third Garrison Cluster<br />[[5th Garrison (Clan Nova Cat)|Fifth Garrison Cluster]] |width='300px'|'''3067'''<br />[[Rossei Keshik (Clan Nova Cat)|Rossei Keshik]]<ref name=FMUp100>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 100</ref><br />First Garrison Cluster<br />[[1st Nova Cat Carabinieri (Clan Nova Cat)|First Carabinieri Cluster]]<br />[[2nd Nova Cat Carabinieri (Clan Nova Cat)|Second Carabinieri Cluster]]<br />[[Nova Cat Irregulars (Clan Nova Cat)|Nova Cat Irregulars Cluster]]<br />[[Nova Cat Renegades (Clan Nova Cat)|Nova Cat Renegades Cluster]]<br />[[Dragonscales (Clan Nova Cat)|Dragonscales Cluster]] |} Note that this Galaxy had Provisional status in 3062, upgraded to frontline status after [[Combine-Ghost Bear War]].<ref>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 120</ref><ref name=FMUp97>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 97</ref> Note that all Clusters have been renamed in 3067, so the names above are no longer accurate.

Glossy black patches, mimicking the pattern of a [[Nova Cat (species)|Nova Cat]]'s fur, form shoulder pads. A thin black line runs down the body and left arm of the uniform. Footwear consists of a moccasin-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, a vest with a 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, styled after a nova cat head, worn 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 [[Private#The_Clans|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 structure|Clan Military Organization]] and ranks. {|class="wikitable" !colspan=10| Point positions |- !
