Recognition notes
The Black Hawk (Nova) E is a 50-ton skirmisher fielded alongside the Prime configuration of the same chassis, cruising at 54 km/h and topping out near 86, with a jump capability of 150 metres. Where the Prime carries six ER Medium Lasers in each arm, this configuration mounts three ER Medium Lasers in the left arm and trades the right arm's battery for an ATM 12. The heat-sink count falls from 18 to 14 double sinks to match the lighter energy load. It carries the same low, hard-to-target silhouette and combat computer as the Prime, and is built by Tokasha MechWorks alongside several other production sites.
