Recognition Notes
The Nova Cat M is a 70-ton juggernaut that fights in close, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. Where the Prime configuration carries three ER Large Lasers in the left arm, this configuration mounts a single LB 20-X AC, and where the Prime fields two ER PPCs in the right arm, the M carries an LB 20-X AC there instead. A Streak SRM 6 in the left torso and a Large Pulse Laser in the right torso round out a loadout built for close-range brawling rather than the Prime's long reach, and the heat-sink count falls from 25 double to 11 double to match the lighter thermal load. Barcella Alpha builds it at Barcella, with production also running at Irece.
