==Overview==
In July [[3057]], the Combine employed [[Black Thorns]] [[mercenary unit]] launched a raid against a nearly completed Clan Nova Cat factory complex on Courchevel. Unfortunately for the mercenaries, Nova Cat [[OmniFighter]]s succeeded in crippling their [[DropShip]] on approach and forced a scattered combat drop onto the world, with the newly arrived front-line [[46th Nova Cat Cavaliers (Clan Nova Cat)|Forty-sixth Nova Cat Cavaliers]] leading the charge to capture them as the [[14th Garrison (Clan Nova Cat)|Fourteenth Provisional Garrison Cluster]] took and repaired their DropShip. While unable to destroy the factory, the battered Black Thorns were able to reclaim their DropShip and escape off-world after their commander [[Jeremiah Rose]] defeated the Fourteenth Garrison Cluster's [[Elemental]] commander in single combat. <ref name=TBT-8>''The Black Thorns'', p. 8 "Unit History - Working for the Dragon - Courcheval[sic]"</ref> <ref name=ER3062-66>''Era Report: 3062'', p. 66 "Factions - Clan Nova Cat - Forty-Sixth Nova Cat Cavaliers (Fateful June)"</ref>
