Resurgence Era Update: History Post-3153^[1]

In transit to New Avalon with Nomad Republic in 3153 and while on planet soon after their arrival Kisho Nova Cat, Izan Nostra, and Janus Watson reorganized their warriors into the Vision Keshik. Both groups, now united, once believed they would be the last of their people and way of life. In many cases, there would be rivalries among two groups formerly separated by years and light years. However, the Nova Cats would not allow these rivalries to flourish. The Chronicle of Battles ritual and The Blooding was used to full effect to bond the warriors of the Vision Keshik together.

Between the merging of Kisho Nova Cat's survivors and the 1st Nova Cat Provisionals, the Keshik is a formidable force. With fifty Battlemechs as the core of the force, supported by a Vehicle Trinary, Battle Armor Star, and Aerospace Star this combat command honors the Clan.

Tactics^[1]

Clan Nova Cat's Alpha Galaxy has historically been known to excel at marksmanship. Even in this new age and rebirth, the Vision Keshik is no exception. Those Nova Cats with Kisho Nova Cat have continued their training over the years with intensity. Long years in space would make any force complacent and Kisho made sure that complacency would not be the end of his people.

SaKhan Janus Watson agrees with Kisho's philosophy. While attached to the Clan Protectorate, the 1st Nova Cat Provisionals made significant time for marksmanship training.
