Recognition notes
The Nova Cat G is a 70-ton heavy fighting as a missile boat at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Where the Prime configuration mounts three ER Large Lasers in the left arm and a pair of ER PPCs in the right arm, this configuration carries an LRM 20 in the left arm and two LRM 20 racks in the right arm, each fitted with an Artemis IV fire-control system. The left torso holds an ER Large Laser and four AP Gauss Rifles, matched by four more AP Gauss Rifles in the right torso, and the left torso also carries a targeting computer and an ECM suite. It runs on 14 double heat sinks. Barcella Alpha builds it at Barcella, with production also at Irece.
