===Year of Peace===
When ilKhan Leo Showers commanded in October [[3050]] that a [[Grand Kurultai]] be held, Leroux and Carns understood it for the political play it was.  It was with that same discerning eye that they noted the ilKhan granting Kerensky's request for the meeting to take place aboard the ''Dire Wolf'' at [[Radstadt]] and that the other Khans must arrive with few troops and in ships smaller than the Wolf flagship.  Regardless of the Wolf Khan's stated reasons, they knew having the meeting deep in Wolf-conquered territory and guaranteeing the Wolves had superior numbers and firepower ensured Kerensky would survive the ilKhan's plans, one way or another.<ref name=IC110/>

Whatever was to have transpired at that ''kurultai'' never came to pass.  Fleeing the destruction of their realm, forces of the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]] escorting their [[Elected Prince]] unexpectedly and unintentionally stumbled into the Radstadt system, where a furious melee broke out between the [[Flying Drakøns]] and the ''Dire Wolf'' and her escorts.  Stuck aboard the Wolf flagship, Leroux, Carns and the other Khans could only watch as one of the Rasalhagian fighters slammed into the bridge of the ''Dire Wolf'', learning shortly thereafter that Leo Showers had been killed by the kamikaze attack.  Both Nova Cat Khans immediately read this as the fulfillment of their Oathmaster's prophecy — the white mist enveloping the Clans, or in this case the Clans' most prominent warrior — a reading which happened to result in the Nova Cat Clan surviving.<ref name=IC110/>

Khan Leroux and saKhan Carns both voted in favor of returning to Clan Space in order to elect a new ilKhan.  During the journey back they were approached by the [[Crusader Clans|Crusader]] Khans of the invasion about a plot to unseat Ulric by blaming him for Showers' death.  Both refused partly because of its blatant political nature to eliminate a rival, partly because the Smoke Jaguars supported the measure.  In the Grand Council meeting on Strana Mechty both voted to find Ulric innocent of the charges.  When the Crusaders then nominated Ulric to the position of ilKhan, the Nova Cats voted in favor, although not for the same reasons as the Crusaders.  Both Khans believed Ulric had proven himself in battle against the Inner Sphere to be the best person in charge of continuing the invasion.<ref name=IC111>''Invading Clans'', p. 111</ref>
