SL Tau Galaxy in the Capellan invasion
« on: 06 May 2017, 23:49:00 »
Just wondering if we ever got any stories or even details of SL Nova Cat Tau Galaxy fighting Capellan, Canopian or Tauran troops during Sunny's invasion of St Ives.

It offers some really interesting options for one of the factions that never faced the Clan invasion . . . and IMO fighting Capellans should have definitely jaded those Clan warriors in Star League ranks.

 I went through my collection and skimmed The Killing Fields, Shattered Sphere, and FM: Comstar.  I couldn't find anything in Shattered SphereFM: Comstar mentions that the 12th Nova Cat Regulars conducted raiding operations on Cappelan held St.Ives worlds and lost a Trinary's worth of mechs doing so. 

  The Killing Fields gives a lot more detail.  On pg. 242 mentions a battle between House Hiritsu mechs and House Daidachi armor against some St. Ives Lancers (1st?) and some Stars of Nova Cats at the Hildco mech factory near Tian-tan on St. Ives.  Later in the book another battle takes place between the 1st St.Ives Lancers and 14th Donegal Guards (Adam Steiner's Unit :D) against House Hiritsu, House Daidachi, and the Taurian Jaegers.  The Nova Cats were not mentioned in this latter battle on St. Ives.

  This is all I got from a brief skim.  With some more work I bet I could piece together a more complete picture of the battle for Tian-tan and maybe even find a few more mentioning of other Nova Cat forces.

Edit:  Doh!! Of course Sarna would have all the information.

  Found something else pg.88 Dagger Point SLS Faithful (Lolla III class) was orbiting Kittery as Tau Galaxy's escort.
