''These variants are non-OmniMech designs and should not be confused with the OmniMech ''Nova''.''<br/>

This non-Omni version of the Nova, named ''Black Hawk'' by [[Clan Diamond Shark]] merchants, began production in the mid-3080s. The Sharks wanted an easy-to-produce 'Mech they could sell to Inner Sphere powers.<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 142, "Manufacturing Site #3"</ref><ref>"Black Hawk" TRO Supplement</ref>

*; ''Black Hawk'' (Standard) : This variant that is seen in action during the 3130s modifies the chassis by removing a ton and a half of armor and using an [[Endo Steel]] internal structure. The weight saved enables this variant to mount a pair of [[ER Large Laser]]s for direct fire support and four [[Streak SRM-4]]s for close range work. BV (1.0) = 2,047<ref>''Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age I'', p. 54</ref>, BV (2.0) = 2,183<ref>''Dark Age Turning Points: Liao'', p. 26</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 188</ref>

*; ''Black Hawk'' (Standard) 2 : This variant is also built on an Endo Steel structure, but removes only a half ton of armor. It also carries paired ER Large Lasers, but mounts dual [[ATM 6]]s, each fed by three tons of ammunition. BV (1.0) = 1,964<ref>''Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age I'', p. 55</ref>  BV (2.0) = 2,161<ref>'' Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', p. 86</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 188</ref>

*; ''Black Hawk'' (Standard) 3 : The third variant answers the demands from the market. By removing the ATMs, enough free space is available to add two [[ER Medium Laser]]s in each arm. The number of [[Double Heat Sinks]] was increased from the fourteen of the second variant to twenty-two for continued fighting over a longer period of time. BV (2.0) = 2,317<ref>'' Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', p. 87</ref><ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged'', p. 40</ref>
