Recognition notes
The Nova Cat F is a 70-ton heavy that closes to short range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, with a 180-metre jump. Where the Prime configuration mounts three ER Large Lasers in the left arm, this configuration carries three Medium Pulse Lasers in the same location, and in place of the twin ER PPCs in the right arm it fields two Large Pulse Lasers. An ECM suite sits in the left torso and a targeting computer in the right torso, equipment the Prime configuration does not carry. The heat-sink count of 14 double sinks is lower than the Prime configuration's 25. Barcella Alpha builds it, with Irece Alpha also producing the type.
