History
As at April 3062 the Black Lion-class battlecruiser Severen Leroux was a WarShip within the Clan Nova Cat touman and as such was serving the Second Star League as the SLS Severen Leroux, attached to the NovaStar Keshik. The Severen Leroux had formerly been the Thunderbolt, but was renamed to the Severen Leroux in the wake of the Abjuration of the Nova Cats and their exile from the Clan Homeworlds. The Severen Leroux was made the Nova Cat flagship in place of the Congress-class frigate NCS True Vision.[1]
By 3067 the Severen Leroux had joined the Mystic Naval Star,[2] and would serve as the NCS Severen Leroux during the Jihad, one of the Nova Cat WarShips which joined the allied coalition efforts against the Word of Blake.[3] The Severen Leroux destroyed the ronin Draconis Combine Kirishima-class DCS Urizen II in the Avon system in July 3072. The kokuryu-kai-controlled spacecraft was indiscriminately attacking Nova Cat vessels before its destruction.[4][5][6]
During the Jihad the Word of Blake 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-class space stations made short work of the WarShip group commanded by Star Admiral Erik Devalis.[7] The Nova Cats lost two WarShips as they braved the SDS network, the Severen Leroux and the Vincent Mk. 42-class corvette NCS Spirit Vision.[8][3]
