Recognition Notes
The Nova Cat I is a 70-ton juggernaut that fights close in, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Where the Prime configuration carries three ER Large Lasers in the left arm and twin ER PPCs in the right, this configuration mounts an Improved Heavy Large Laser, two Medium Pulse Lasers, and a TSEMP Cannon in each arm. It runs on mixed Inner Sphere and Clan technology, where the Prime configuration is built on Clan hardware throughout, and it carries 21 Clan double heat sinks against the Prime's 25. Barcella Alpha builds the type at its Barcella works, with production also at Irece.
