			=== [[Resurgence\|Resurgence Era Update]] ===
			As most of the Inner Sphere learned with the reactivation of the HPG network, [[Mori Hawker]] was now aligned with the [[Word of Blake]] with both the [[IlKhanate (Clan Sea Fox)\|IlKhanate]] and [[Skate Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)\|Skate Khanate]]. saKhan Petr Kalasa received word from saKhan [[Ya'el Labov]] to meet at a designated location in the [[Free Worlds League]] in [[3153]]. The Spina Khanate has since been out of contact with any other nation, awaiting this rendezvous.

Formed from Clan Diamond Shark, the '''Spina Khanate''' is a large space fleet consisting members of [[Clan Sea Fox]]. The fleet is a mix of civilians and warriors who form a mobile enclave of the Clan.

==History==
Spina Khanate's involvement in the squabbles between states within the former Free Worlds League was a direct result of the actions of [[Delta Aimag (Spina Khanate)|Delta Aimag]] and subsequently the efforts of [[saKhan]] [[Petr Kalasa]], the two culminating in Spina Khanate becoming the Khanate to beat by [[3145]].

Acting like a mighty trading house from pre-spaceflight [[Terra]], Delta Aimag picked sides in a local squabble and used its strength to push the chosen side to victory.<ref name="FM:3145p158">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 158: "Spina Khanate"</ref> That faction was the breakaway faction from [[Clan Nova Cat]] known as the [[Spirit Cats]], led by then-[[Star Colonel]] [[Rikkard Nova Cat]]; Rikkard led his forces to the planet [[Marik]] and, with support from the [[Oriente Protectorate]] and then from Delta Aimag, seized the planet, which the Spirit Cats then claimed as their own.<ref name="FM:3145p109">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 109: "Clan Protectorate Military"</ref><ref name=ER:3145p66_67>''Era Report: 3145'', pp. 66–67: "Factions: Clan Sea Fox"</ref>

The Spirit Cats officially founded the [[Clan Protectorate]] in [[3138]], having expanded their protection to incorporate several neighboring worlds.<ref name="FM:3145p109"/> The Spirit Cats offered to use [[Marik]] as a trading world, and Spina Khanate accepted.<ref name=ER:3145p66_67/> Against the wishes of Delta Aimag's leadership - and following a successful [[Trial of Refusal]] fought against difficult odds - [[Clan Sea Fox]]'s [[Omicron Cluster (Clan Protectorate)|Omicron Cluster]] detached itself from Delta Aimag and became ground forces for the Clan Protectorate. In [[3139]] the Clan Protectorate went on to join [[Jessica Halas|Jessica Marik]] in her campaign to recapture [[Atreus (FWL)|Atreus]] from the [[Regulan Fiefs]], with Spirit Cat forces fighting alongside Sea Fox forces and the planetary militia of [[Angell II]] during the campaign.<ref name="FM:3145p109"/>

In [[3140]], saKhan [[Mikel Sennet]] was removed from his position and replaced by Petr Kalasa who became the new saKhan of Spina Khanate.<ref name=ER:3145p104_105>''Era Report: 3145'', pp. 104-105: "Major Personas: Petr Kalasa"</ref>

With Delta Aimag having opened the door, the rest of the Spina Khanate promptly walked through; the Khanate gained monopoly access to the most lucrative commercial opportunities that each of the governments it assisted had to offer. The Khanate's resources, troops and industrial output were essential to Jessica Marik's plans, leaving her unable to antagonize them despite the protests from [[Free Worlds League]] companies about the Khanate's access to the new League's inner workings.<ref name="FM:3145p158"/> The Spina Khanate was still represented in the Free Worlds League Parliament in 3145,<ref name="FM:3145p158"/><ref name="FM:3145p150">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 150: "The Clans: Standby Mode"</ref> although its loyalties remained clearly tied to its Clan, not the febrile League.<ref name="FM:3145p158"/>

The changes in the Free Worlds League region led to friction between the Spina Khanate and the nearby [[Skate Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Skate Khanate]] as the union of the former [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]] and the [[Oriente Protectorate]] brought the trading border between the two Khanates fell across the Protectorate. With the Spina Khanate taking an increasing role in trade within the new Free Worlds League it seemed inevitable that saKhan Kalasa and his counterpart, saKhan [[Arkady Sennet]], would have to renegotiate the various trade territories and compensation.<ref name="FM:3145p158"/> The Spina Khanate had also started buying up [[ComStar]] infrastructure, presumably in anticipation of communication via [[HPG]] becoming possible again at some point in the near future.<ref name="FM:3145p151_152">''Field Manual: 3145'', pp. 151-152: "State of Clan Readiness: Clan Sea Fox"</ref>

===Blockade===
After [[3146]]'s [[Operation TRIUMVIR]] attacks, Jessica Marik condemned the three nations that attacked the Free Worlds League. Taking this as a command, Spina Khanate blockaded [[Tiber (FWL)|Tiber]], [[Harmony]], and [[Regulus]] to punish the [[Regulan Fiefs]]. They appeared at the main jump points and Sea Fox marines boarded DropShips and JumpShips that were present and prohibited commercial DropShips from landing on the worlds. A few vessels refused and were destroyed with accurate fire. The Foxes then searched the wreckage for salvage. In a few cases DropShip crews resisted the marines; The marines quickly captured the DropShips and spaced the crew. They then took the DropShip and its cargo as ''isorla''.

In addition to the blockade, Spina Khanate sent roving patrols through the Regulus Fiefs to intercept commercial JumpShips and DropShips. Passenger and courier vessels were allowed to leave after a detailed inspection by Sea Fox marines. Commercial DropShips were inspected and if they remained docked to their JumpShip, they were allowed to leave. Cargo DropShips that detached were quickly seized by the Khanate. These two actions deterred merchants and traders from visiting the Regulan Fiefs because they didn't want to encounter heavily-armed military vessels. The blockade expanded to include [[Wallis]] and [[Clipperton]].

After six months, the Regulans were desperate. A Regulan task force was able to inflict heavy damage on ''[[Silentshark]]'' before they were destroyed. Another Regulan task group tried to break the embargo by destroying the ''[[Talismantia]]'' but failed. The Spina Khanate landed forces on the blockaded worlds and encouraged the population to trade, despite the Regulan government officially outlawing trade with the Clan.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', pp. 35–38: "Tightening the Belt"</ref>

In March [[3148]], the Spina Khanate lifted the economic blockade from all five embargoed systems. One week later they returned with several [[Free Worlds League Military]] commands and attacked the Regulan Fiefs. Alpha Aimag and the [[1st Orloff Grenadiers|First Orloff Grenadiers]] faced the [[1st Regulan Hussars|First Regulan Hussars]] on Tiber, forcing the Hussars off-world. Beta Aimag and the [[Steel Wolves]] captured the [[14th Regulan Hussars|Fourteenth Regulan Hussars]] on [[Avior]].<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 53: "A Campaign of Vengeance"</ref> In April 3148, elements of Spina Khanate and [[FWLM]] units invaded Regulus. After four months of negotiations, the Regulan Fiefs surrendered to the Free Worlds League.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 54: "A Hard Bargain"</ref>
