The Wars of Possession were a series of military conflicts initiated in April 3060 after Operation Serpent and the Great Refusal. The Annihilation of the Smoke Jaguars and the relocation of the Nova Cats and Ghost Bears to the Inner Sphere left a power vacuum of sorts which the other Clans scrambled to fill.
The bulk of the fighting took place from 3060 to 3062 and continued on a smaller scale until 3066. During this time Clan Space was rocked by both inter-Clan fighting and political machinations. These conflicts and power shifts would ultimately lead to even bloodier strife in the 3070s that saw the political landscape of the Clans changed forever.[1]

Battles and Contested Territories
Barcella
The former capital of Clan Nova Cat, that Clan's warriors found themselves under attack by the Ice Hellions and Jade Falcons almost immediately following their Abjuration. Clan Diamond Shark then granted the Cats assistance with their evacuation efforts, in exchange for their remaining assets. After the Nova Cats' withdrawal fighting continued between the other three Clans.[2] All three still retained enclaves on Barcella as of mid-3067.[3]
Bearclaw
Clan Snow Raven had recently taken ownership of Bearclaw's former Ghost Bear territories when the Nova Cats requested assistance from the Raven's sizable fleet in exchange for their enclaves on that world as well. The deal was made, but Clan Hell's Horses then arrived; their long-running feud with the Ghost Bears drove the Horses to seize their rival's former capital. The Horses attacked the Nova Cats, resulting in several small Trials until the Cats finally withdrew in September 3060.[2] By mid-3067 the Hell's Horses had claimed a quarter of the planet while the Snow Ravens held the rest.[3]
Brim
Cloud Cobra and Star Adder forces mounted several brutal attacks upon the Nova Cat garrison, but then allowed them to withdraw after guaranteeing that the remaining civilians would be treated decently by their new masters. As a result, when Clan Coyote warriors made their own attack upon Brim, they unexpectedly ran into strong Adder and Cobra resistance and withdrew, allowing the two Clans to consolidate their holdings on the world.[2]
