"  Warriors, we are all Warriors. But Clan Nova Cat accept only the best of us. The lonely warrior will die, the teamworker will survive. In addition good piloting will help you leave every battlefield as the winner. If the tactics of your enemy is a part of your tactics you will win every battle. Communicating to your starmates before the heat of a battle prevents losing it.

The clan and its Khan cannot survive without support from its Commanding Officers.

The Commanding Officers cannot be effective without their Executive Officers. It is their job to assist in the smooth running of the unit.

This leaves Mech Commanders to do what they do best. Finding new tactics and mech configs to ensure successful battles and win.

If you observe these points then you will remain a unbeatable deadly tool of Clan Nova Cat forever. Serve Clan Nova Cat in this way and the you will be rewarded with honour and victory. "
