History
Star Colonel Adriana and the Nova Cat Hussars assaulted the Ghost Bear Dominion world of Soverzene on 29 November 3098, interrupting the Dominion's own preparations for a large-scale invasion of Clan Nova Cat's territories. Ordered by Khan Ajax Drummond to attack the planet's primary spaceport and to raid the materiel caches of the Third Hussars, Adriana used a pirate jump point to quickly make planetfall before launching an immediate offensive against the inexperienced and underprepared Dominion troops. While the fighting for the spaceport was heavy, the ground battle ended quickly once the Third Hussars' Star Colonel Frida Johansson was overrun and killed in the opening salvoes. After the elimination of the Third's DropShip support, Adriana's Hussars proceeded to hunt down and destroy all but three Stars of the Third by 20 November. After looting far more equipment than they had lost in the fighting, the Nova Cats departed Soverzene on 10 December.[2]
When Adriana's Hussars returned to their home base on Mualang on 31 December, it was to find that the Eighth Bear Cuirassiers and Rho Galaxy's Command Trinary had destroyed their planetary militia, sibkos, and supply dumps. While the Hussars were able to break through the Dominion's orbital blockade and make it planetside, the Eighth Cuirassiers turned their landings into a bloodbath that claimed Adriana's life and left the Cats leaderless. The Hussars' surviving forces switched to hit-and-run attacks while awaiting reinforcements, although when the Nekoryu Keshik arrived on 31 January 3099 to execute a quick rescue mission, only a scant few of Adriana's soldiers were still alive to leave Mualang with them.[1]
