Recognition notes
The Supernova 5 is a 90-ton assault built for sniping work, cruising at 32 km/h and topping out near 54 km/h with a jump capability of 90 metres. It is a 3144 rebuild of the 2846 original, trading the standard internal structure for endo steel and dropping the heat-sink count from 26 double to 24 double. A coolant pod sits in the left torso and another in the right torso, additions not found on the base model. The six ER Large Lasers, three in each arm, carry over unchanged from the original Supernova. Irian BattleMechs Unlimited builds this configuration at its Angell II plant.
