Recognition notes
The Nova Cat B is a 70-ton missile boat that fights at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Where the Prime configuration mounts an ER Large Laser in the left arm and an ER PPC in the right, this configuration carries an LRM 15 in each arm, with an ER Medium Laser in each torso side. It runs 16 double heat sinks against the Prime's 25, reflecting the lighter heat load of its missile-and-laser mix on the same 280 XL fusion engine and endo steel structure. Barcella Alpha builds it at Barcella, with a second line at Irece.
