The Supernova II is an Omnimech version of the older
Supernova.  This gives it much more flexability and options 
when it comes to mission assignments.  The Supernova II 
also uses Endo Steel in place of the standard internal 
structure.  This gives it several more tons of pod space 
and two and a half more tons of armor.  It retains the Jump 
Jets of the original Supernova giving excellent 
manuverability for an Assault mech.
     The Primary Configuration remains the same as the 
original Supernova except for the addition of an ECM.  
This makes it easier for pilots who have become 
accustomed to the Supernova to adjust to the Supernova 
II.
     The Alternate A Configuration carries four Large Pulse 
Lasers and four Medium Pulse Lasers.  It carries enough 
extra heat sinks to deal with heat build up without too 
much difficulty.  This Variant is popular for its ability to offer 
heavy sustained fire with deadly accuracy.
     Alternate Configuration B is able to deliver massed 
amounts of armor shreding fire with very little heat build up. 
 Its primary weapons are its four Ultra Autocannon 5s.  It 
carries eight tons each of amunition.  It rounds out its 
weapons compliment with four ER medium lasers.
     Alternate Configuration C is a solid fire support 
variant.  This variant is able to find excelent fireing 
positions and use its six LRM-15s to great effect.  It 
enhances its missle weapons with six  Atremis IV FCS.  It 
also has two ER Medium Lasers in case anything gets too 
close and an ECM.
     The Alternate D Configuration is armed with two 
devastating Gauss Rifles.  It also carries four ER Medium 
Lasers.  It rounds out its armament a Targeting Computer 
that lets it place shots with deadly accuracy..
     Alternate Configuration E is very powerful with its paired 
Ultra Autocannon 20s.  This variant also carries two 
Medium Pulse Lasers.
     Clan Nova Cat has begun to deploy the Supernova II 
in several front line clusters.  There are also reports of this 
mech begining to appear in a few Ghost Bear units.
