Erik Devalis was the commanding officer of an ad hoc naval squadron from Clan Nova Cat.

History[edit]

During the Jihad, the Word of Blake had established a new Space Defense System around Bryant. This proved to be a nasty surprise for the attacking Coalition forces in March 3078. The Bastion and Capitol space stations made short work of the WarShip group commanded by Star Admiral Erik Devalis of Clan Nova Cat.[1] The Nova Cats lost two WarShips as they braved the SDS network, the Vincent Mk 42-class corvette NCS Spirit Vision and the much larger Black Lion-class battlecruiser NCS Severen Leroux.[2] The first layer of defenses within the Bryant system, Bastion and Capitol class space stations, claimed one of the attached assault DropShips almost as soon as the fleet arrived. Star Admiral Devalis ordered the Aegis-class NCS Chronicle to defend the transport DropShips with the ground forces, while the Severen Leroux and the Spirit Vision, and half the aerospace fighters attached to the attack group, attempted to screen the forces burning towards the planet from the SDS system. The swarming drones that formed a part of the SDS network destroyed the Spirit Vision relatively early in the engagement, but the Severen Leroux managed to destroy all of the defensive space stations within the system before succumbing.[1]
