This is an act of lunacy combined with creative fluff. It is the stereotypical 100 ton clan Mech with uber weapon alpha strikes. The design itself is rather unimaginative, but the fluff is good IMHO.

==Overview:==
When Clan Nova Cat joined the Inner Sphere and moved its people and
equipment, they were forced to rethink several of there construction habits do
to the sudden lack of suitable production centers to create Endo-Steel,
Ferro-Fibrous, and Extra-Light Fusion Engines. This forced them to adjust
there production to those items they could produce while new Zero-G factories
were constructed to replace those they were unable to move. One of these
resulted in a second line Battlemech that Kurita forces have named the Emma-O.
==Capabilities:==
The actual Clan Nova Cat designation for this mech is still unknown at
this time, but Kurita forces have named it Emma-O after the God of Death in
Japanese mythology. The design has been produced in limited numbers as a
seeming stop gap measure by the Nova Cats. It shares many similarities in
appearance with the Executioner, Gargoyle, and surprisingly the Atlas. Despite
its appearance similarities, the Emma-O shares very little in common with the
others in its weapons load out. The machine carries some of the most
devastating weapons known to man that can be carried on a Battlemech. Twin
ERPPCs in the right arm form the front of the weapons load out and allow the
mech near 360 degrees of cover. Backing up the ERPPCs is a Gauss Rifle mounted
in the Left Torso. This devastating weapon is supplied with an impressive 3
tons of CASE protected ammunition; the Gauss is thus capable of sustained fire
long beyond most designs. All of these weapons form the primary and only
weapon systems on this heavy design and to insure maximum efficiency the
design is equipped with a clan Targeting Computer, which imparts near pulse
laser accuracy to the weapons fire. These three weapons are devastating enough
that they can bring almost any mech to its knees with only a handful of shots.
In addition to an impressive weapons load, the Emma-O is equipped with an
amazing 19 tons of heavy armor and a heavy yet sturdy 300 rated standard
fusion engine, which analyst say will make the design frustratingly difficult
for enemy units to bring down. One example is if the Gauss Rifle was to
receive damage during combat, the CASE protected left torso will prevent the
Emma-O from suffering a catastrophic explosion and protect the fusion engine.
The engine as said is rated at 300 and allows the Emma-O to move at maximum
speeds of up to 54 Kph; in addition, the heavy duty jump jets installed in the
mechs back allow impressive jumps of up to 90 meters, a phenomenal distance
for such a heavy machine. To offer further versatility to the unit, an ECM
suite was installed into the heart of the machine's sensor systems just above
and behind the cockpit. This powerful system can disrupt mech targeting
systems, interfere with communication, and even reduce the effectiveness of
enemy sensors.
Average speed with maneuverability, protection, and accurate hard hitting
weapons all combine to create a tactically flexible Lord of the battlefield.
One the Nova Cats need during the trying times ahead as they rebuild there
lives in the Inner Sphere.
