I like it especially the mortar

But the fusion gives you heat sinks id see them used or the fusion engine dumped

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

The mortar is a nice touch but the LB5-X is more like a pop gun.

in trial against the Ice Hellion's mettle.
Each chased the Ice Hellion, hunting it down.
All failed to match the predator's speed and grace.
