Recognition Notes
The Nova Cat Prime is a 70-ton heavy that fights at long range, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65, sluggish for its weight. The left arm carries three ER Large Lasers, and the right arm mounts a pair of ER PPCs, giving it five long-reach weapons and no secondary battery to speak of. Its structure is endo steel, and the 280 XL fusion engine leaves it slow but able to stand off and pour fire from beyond return range. Barcella Alpha builds the type at Barcella, with production also carried out at Irece.
