So some folks in one of the other Nova Cat threads asked me to compile a list of all possibly surviving Nova Cat warriors from the Spirit Cat Shiva Keshik and Purifier Clusters. I'm going to throw in some Omicron as well just because I bet that they were more than likely the ones put in charge of the Protectorate Guardian Clusters.

Shiva Keshik

Rikkard Nova Cat (Obviously)
Marat Deleportas (Pilots a Sphinx, was a Star Captain, and one of Kev Rosse's top warriors, but not as spiritual as most Spirit Cats, probably the big number 2 behind Rikkard, hopefully a Star Colonel now).
Liz Nostra (Pilots a Crimson Hawk, hada brief moment of disillusion after the HPG Blackout, got her mojo back after capturing Tybalt from Bannson's Raiders)
Malisa Nova Cat (pilots a Uller, under Liz Nostra's command, led the capture of Addicks in 3133)
Sixo Nova Cat (Pilots a Blade)
Kara Fletcher (Biggest Elemental on record ever, impressive codex)
Kevin Nostra (Zeus pilot, believes he is Alexsandr Kerensky reborn, tries to play that up a lot in Clan Council meetings)
Cox Devalis (Warhammer IIC pilot, participated in the Battle of Wyatt, 3135)
Lenett Lossey (Spider pilot, a real political animal for Clan standards)

Purifiers
Angus Drummond (Pilots a Mad Cat II, was gunning for the Oathmaster position in the Spirit Cats, basically the CO of the Purifiers back in the 3132-3135 era)
Arnis Drummond (Dasher II, very immersed in DC culture, probably heavily shunned by other Spirit Cats at this point)
Sariah Vozka (Centurion pilot, quiet and demur, but a fierce warrior)
Lenell Nova Cat (Ocelot pilot)
Zahiba Nostra (Thunderbolt pilot, helped the Dragoons take Outreach in early 3133)
Monic Deleportas (Warhammer IIC pilot, has EI surgery, insane)
Maria Devalis (Shadow Hawk IIC pilot, nurses a hatred of the ROTS for past discrimination against Clan peoples)

Omicron I'm only listing a few here, most who I think might show up.
Susan Drummond (Legionnaire pilot, nicknamed "Mother Hen" for her defensive posture in battles)
Faisal Rosse (Dasher II pilot, very reckless)
Robert Bravos (Very demoralized Solahma aerospace jock, after the Clan Protectorate perhaps he was given a more active battlefield role again?)

Rikkard Nova Cat was a noted Shadow Hawk IIC 4 pilot ( MWDA Novel: Pandora's Gambit )

Lament and Doloire minis need to come out already; I want to do them up in night camo with other RAF stuff for NC Provisionals :P

Anyway, I'm in the process of putting together a combined arms force with a mix of Clan and IS tech; Cizins and Jousts next to Scimitar MK.IIs along with an assortment of 'Mechs of various technological backgrounds. Hopefully I'll be able to assemble a believable force.

Those two Mechs are everything I ever wanted for Christmas in my Lyran forces. :P

Purifier's are an awesome cluster of crazy people. Like their new write up.

Kitsune413 · « **Reply #395 on:** 12 April 2014, 18:21:15 »

Rosse had a lot of followers.

I got that impression early on

Hopefully getting this in morning after work. Really wish it had come out earlier in week when I was off! Lol

I can't decide between Omicron and the Purifiers :-\

I know they're extremely different from each other but both appeal to my inner Nova Cat for different reasons. Omicron for being pragmatic and the Purifiers for following the old ways.

On a different note; how does one isolate an image from a pdf? I'd like a high resolution Spirit Cats and/or Purifiers emblem.

Kitsune413 · « **Reply #398 on:** 12 April 2014, 23:48:19 »

Purifiers get awesome bonuses in gameplay. :D

Omicron doesn't really make it to the Clan Protectorate.

That's right, the Omicron in ER:DA isn't the Spirit Cats :-[

I'd forgotten all about that. OK, Purifiers it is then. Now I just need to figure out how to get a high resolution logo...

Dark Ages sourcebook out?

False Son · « **Reply #401 on:** 13 April 2014, 00:13:31 »

Era Digest: Dark Age. It details the micro factions and their leaders. Getcha Getcha.

Captain of C-21 · « **Reply #402 on:** 13 April 2014, 00:24:34 »

Considering how few Trinaries ED:DA gave the Spirit Cats per Cluster, they certainly did some growing by the time they reached the Protectorate. What's up with Catalyst creating brand spanking new Star Colonels for the Clusters when we already have plenty of established Spirit Cat characters who could've been used?

Colt Ward · « **Reply #403 on:** 13 April 2014, 03:21:30 »

I knew it was coming just did not realize it was out yet. Yeah, the big council Kev held listed quite a few Star Colonels, even had them competing against each other to head to Towne. I would not mind seeing the sheet for the protagonist's Warhammer IIC . . . which was like a mini-Supernova, with maybe a supercharger?

IIRC, it had quad heavy large lasers, which would make for a lot of heat.. maybe it had a RHS?

Okay, Spirit Cats emblem is easy... Purifiers, not so much.

~~I just can't get the Purifiers emblem right. I'll see what I can do about that.~~

This is serviceable I believe:

EDIT: Slightly better resolution versions.

I'd have to assume elements of Omicron made it to the Protectorate, but there wasn't enough to re-start the Cluster, and some got rolled into the Shiva Keshik, Purifiers, while others became the officers of the Protectorate Guardian Clusters.

Also, Klat, those are looking nice!

Did Kisho make it to the Clan Protectorate or is his fate unknown?
The Era Report left it up in the air.

Er, that's not confirmation, that's "wait until we publish something".

Klat · « **Reply #410 on:** 13 April 2014, 20:40:45 »

Where can I find the canonical description of the Spirit Cats color scheme? Obviously I could just go off MWDA models but the description of the Purifiers use of glyphs makes me wonder if it's any different.

Kitsune413 · « **Reply #411 on:** 13 April 2014, 20:46:21 »

Since it hasn't been published in Camospecs its appropriate Camo.

The MWDA models are hard to tell what they were planning.

Either they are white with gray and beige panels...

Or they used to be white, are using primer on recently replaced parts and are caked in mud.

I don't think there is much question that their parade colors at least involves a lot of white though.

Wow, the Purifiers emblem is Really Nice, its kind like Zeta galaxys (RIP)

It's like someone crossed a lynx with a sabertooth.

Pretty sure that Warhammer had ERLLs, I will look for that book tonight.

Target of Opportunity gives us descriptions of two Spirit Cat 'Mechs, complete with colours:

Star Captain Cox's (Pouncer Trinary, Purifiers) Warhammer IIC is "two shades of grey, and a long diagonal stripe of red across the torso like a sash of honour"

Star Captain Caitlin Bauer's (Stealth Cat Trinary, Omicron) Vulture mk III is "painted in the grey and white striped pattern of her Trinary".

IMO, Both fall within the range of the Spirit Cat colours in the MWDA CMG.

That's what I was looking for, thanks! O0

Did they ever say what happened to the Spirit Cats and Wolf's Dragoons on Outreach? I've not completely read Era Digrest DA yet if its in there

Jaim Magnus · « **Reply #418 on:** 14 April 2014, 20:11:44 »

I didn't see anything regarding their fate. Only that their purpose on Outreach was unknown.

Deadborder · « **Reply #419 on:** 14 April 2014, 20:49:12 »

If they were caught inside Fortress Republic, they would have either joined the RAF or been wiped out.
