CLAN HISTORY
One night in the ancient clan, a medicine cat was out collecting herbs. She went past the borders as she needed a few that usually were plentiful in the outer fields. Though on her way she spotted a few twolegs with a strange long tube looking up at the stars. She stayed a while but was soon spotted by them.
She knew to stay away from the twolegs but something in her gut told her to approach them when they began to call out to her. So she did. She slowly approached the male twoleg and his kit. They petted her and fed her some tuna from a can.
”Perhaps I can stay a little longer? I have yet to find out what this tube is for.”
She didn’t understand the words meanings to what they were saying… except when they began to talk about the stars. Pictured in the sky made by the stars of great constellations. They ruled over the night sky with the moon shining oh so brightly. She was fascinated by these tales. Animals and machines and other twolegs in the sky? She’s never heard of this before. She saw they had a book with them two that listed the constellations and while the twolegs were distracted, she grabbed the thin book and ran away.
The medicine cat believed this was a message or a destiny from StarClan. Though now… should she beleive in them anymore? There were greater things out there… maybe they can believe both.
Her clan was horrified when she returned and brought back the book but soon the medicine cat told the tales of the stars and the beings in the sky… many cats were as well amazed by the stories, even the leader. They looked at the picture book and all concluded this must be their next step.
From that day on, they began to worship the stars

CLAN NAMING SYSTEMS
Naming a new kitten after one of the 40+ animal and hybrid constellations, two selected twoleg constellations, or two selected object constellations is highly encouraged as they’ll be guided by that constellation throughout their life. Of course it’s not mandatory to do so but the clan really would appreciate it.
Kittens are often borned named after exactly a constellation or related to one. Naming usually follows as normal as they grow older with suffixes being given based on their strongest skill or nature or looks.
A dark colored kitten may be named after Corvus or Capricorn or Lupus.
A red kitten might be named after Sagittarius or Cancer or Vulpecula

CUSTOMS
It’s believed that when a cat dies, whatever constellation was guarding them will guide them into the sky and they too will be apart of the stars. Same with the animals of the world. Not only do these constellations guide the cats, they also guard the animals they represent or are close to. Ursa is the guardian of all the bears in the world and Pisces guides all the small fish in the waters for example.
The clan has a cave in a tall mountain (Nebula Mountain) that is right under the moon when it’s full. The pool shines greatly and reflects the stars in the sky. The pool runs out of the cave and connects to a waterfall. This pool is where one can be spiritually close to the stars. Cats come here to make offerings and send them down the pool’s river to the waterfall. Offerings can be anything but are often selected to what a specific constellation might light. Requests are usually for good hunting during leafbare or for healthy kittens or anything else. Apprentices when turning into warriors will make the trip up to the mountain to gain their full connection with the constellation that’s guiding them. When they return, they’ll get their full name.

RISE OF RAMSTAR
Ramstar started out as Ramkit, the son of Bearcall and Sunbloom. He was the only kit out of their only litter ever. Simply as of preference of having one litter and how many they got was destiny. Ramkit was named under the constellation Aries the Ram in hopes the kit could gain the strength and courage the ram had. Indeed did Ramkit have the courage of a brave one. He was very curious and brave and often was a leader.
Even as he became Rampaw the little tom was a natural leader and a great fighter. He was smart and strategical and he cared a lot for his clan. Rampaw was granted to be a warrior when he was eleven moons by his leader and parents and made the journey a moon earlier to the Nebula Mountain. He met his guardian constellation and returned with the name Ramstrike.
Ramstrike sure was great but his high pedestal made it hard for him to connect with cats his age. Ramstrike wanted to have a family one day but his status had made it harder and he has yet to find love to this day. He was appointed deputy when he was 20 months old and soon leader 4 months later when the previous leader had to step down for medical reasons. Ramstar now takes care of his clan and makes sure things are the best for them and for the future generations to come. He wants to make a positive impact for the future.
