History
Blackout
At the peak of her career just before the Blackout, with an impressive record of service to Clan Nova Cat and the Republic of the Sphere against pirates and raiders, the loss of HPG communications shook Liz's worldview to its core. Depressed at her failure to obtain a vision of the way forward, her performance suffered, resulting in a loss of her command rank. She was however able to retain a position within Shiva Keshik, serving under Marat Deleportas in an Alpha Striker Star, alongside Kevin Nostra, Sixo Nova Cat, and Lejac Nova Cat[1][2]
Still lost and confused as of 3133, Liz's faith in Galaxy Commander Kev Rosse's vision for the Spirit Cats was questionable, and she continued to hope the Republic and normalcy could be restored.[1]
Second Battle of Addicks
Liz commanded the Spirit Cats force tasked to capture Addicks in April 3133, as part of a second Battle of Addicks, from the defending Northwind Highlanders commanded by Captain Naomi Katina.[3] Aiming their initial assault on the oil fields located in the plains of Jesara, the Spirit Cats were able to catch the defenders off guard, and pushed them back after a pitched battle.[4]
This however proved to only be a diversion, with Liz's true target being Addick's capital city Saint Randall, leaving the defenders rushing unsuccessfully to reposition.[5] This left the Highlanders the task of trying to recapture Saint Randall, a conflict which quickly became a stalemate, with both sides slowly feeding reinforcements into the meatgrinder. During these battles, Liz clashed with her subordinate Malisa Nova Cat with increasing intensity, over Nostra's frustration at Malisa's highly aggressive combat tactics.
The fighting for Saint Randall eventually became to much for the defending Highlanders however, who were forced to retreat off-world in defeat, leaving the Spirit Cats in possession of the world.[6]
Other Battles
She also took part in the Battle of Ruchbah and the Battle of Tybalt in 3133[7][8][9]
BattleMech
Nostra was known to pilot a Crimson Hawk BattleMech, serial number BSS571-08H, that she named Wanderer to reflect for own uncertain future. Built by Clan Blood Spirit, Liz preferred to use this 'Mech as a mobile sniper, befitting its status as a light 'Mech.[1]
