Okay, so here's an old chestnut of a topic that I haven't seen for an age: when did you get into the Nova Cats? Also, what was it that drew you in?
For myself, it was Tukayyid that sold me on them. All of the sudden, here was this mysterious, ultra-religious (after their own fashion), hard fighting group that managed to gut the ComGuards, even in the face of defeat. I spent a while bouncing back and forth between who I rooted for within the universe, but the Cats always stuck in the back of my mind. Eventually, I gave in to the inevitable, and it was all down hill from there.
