Recognition notes
The Nova Cat A is a 70-ton heavy that fights at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65 km/h; where the Prime configuration is earthbound, this configuration carries a jump capability of 120 metres. In place of the Prime's twin ER PPCs, the right arm here mounts a pair of ER Large Lasers, and the left arm carries two ER Large Lasers rather than three. A targeting computer sits in the right torso, absent from the Prime's loadout. Barcella Alpha builds the type, with production also at Irece.
