History
Star Colonel Sidney Nevversan was an Elemental and commander of the 7th Jaguar Dragoons in 3059. [1] He was the leader of the Cluster during Operation Revival
In May 3050 he bid his own Command Trinary, along with Trinary Assault and Binary Elemental in the attack on Garstedt. The defending troops of the Third Alshain Regulars had taken up defensive positions in the Cordivas Grotto. The Dragoons chose to wait instead of attempting a near suicidal assault on the Grotto. Tai-Sa Albert Brookhaven the commander of the Regulars realised he had a choice between starving and fighting. The Regulars made a dash for their DropShips situated to the south on the Filmore Steppes. In the running battle that ensued the Dragoons used a series of fast, mobile strikes to pin the Regulars before Trinary Assault arrived. The Seventh drove the Third Regulars off-world with heavy losses, destroing an entire battalion of 'Mechs before the Regulars could escape to Schuyler.[2][1]
The Dragoons followed the Third Alshain Regulars to Schuyler and bid the same forces in the attack in June 3050. Unknown to the Dragoons the Regulars had been resupplied and were not going to be caught out twice. The Regulars moved from point to point fighting a series of battles across the planet forcing the Dragoons to chase them expending energy and supplies. After a week of fighting, including a notable engagement was fought at Olasin Fjord, Sidney Nevversan was forced to break his bid and call in an additional Trinary. After a battle in the Mitsuhama Ridge the 3rd Alshain Regulars were once again driven off-world with moderate losses.[3]
He did participate in Tukayyid with the rest of the unit, and survived because the followed the retreat order they were given.[4]
Assigned to defend Tarazed, he offered safcon to the Second Star League forces that arrived in system, not realizing how much force they faced. As the First St. Ives Lancers, the Second Genyosha and the Third Donegal Guards RCT landed in the Krychek Mountains the Sidney Nevversan realized the situation his command was in, and moved it away towards the Mosaikan Canyon Preserve in the hope of utilizing the network of canyons as defensive terrain. Light elements of the Second Genyosha saw the movement and reacted quicker than Nevversan thought possible hitting the Dragoons supply convoys hard while they were on the move. The Third Donegal Guards RCT also reacted fast, arriving at the canyons before the Dragoons and cut them off from the Preserve. As the First St. Ives Lancers advanced they caught an isolated Star of OmniMerchs. Kai Allard-Liao the Lancers commander challenged the Star Captain to Trial of Possession for her command, which he duly won. The Lancers then continued their assault and the Seventh was completely destroyed.[5][6] However, their JumpShip and two of their DropShips managed to flee the system.[1]
He died with the rest of his unit.
