Recognition notes
The Nova Cat C is a 70-ton heavy built as a sniper alongside the Prime configuration. Where the Prime's left arm carries three ER Large Lasers, this configuration mounts two Large Pulse Lasers in the same arm, and in place of the Prime's twin ER PPCs the right arm fields two Ultra AC/5s and an LB 5-X AC. It cruises at 43 km/h and tops out near 65, matching the Prime's pace, though its heat-sink count falls to 12 double against the Prime's 25. Barcella Alpha builds the type at its Barcella plant, with production also carried out at Irece.
