Recognition notes
The Nova Cat H is a 70-ton heavy that fights at stand-off range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Where the Prime configuration carries three ER Large Lasers in the left arm and a pair of ER PPC in the right arm, this configuration mounts twin Improved Heavy Large Laser in the left arm and an LB 20-X AC in the right arm, with a Medium Pulse Laser in the right torso. A coolant pod and a supercharger sit in the right torso, and with the supercharger engaged the machine can sprint to 86 km/h. Its 19 double heat sinks are fewer than the Prime's 25. Barcella Alpha builds it at Barcella, with production also at Irece.
