==Description==
Following their [[Clans#Abjuration|Abjuration]] from the [[Clan Homeworlds]], [[Clan Nova Cat]] needed to rebuild. In so doing, [[Khan]] [[Santin West]] directed his scientist caste to create a new [[battle armor]] that could stand up to the newer designs coming out of [[Clan]] space. Based on the [[Elemental (Battle Armor)|Elemental]] suit, the result was the '''Clan Battle Armor''', whose visual aesthetic shows that the Clan's contact with the [[Draconis Combine]] was already rubbing off on them. Though the design has a slow ground speed, the designers used the jump booster pioneered on the [[Gray Death Scout]] armor to rocket it up to one hundred twenty meters at a time. This necessitated a slight reduction in armor and a reworking of the weaponry.<ref name=CE /> Clan Elementals have nicknamed these battle armor '''Rabids'''.<ref name=TRO120>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 120</ref>

Instead of the modular weapon ports of the [[Elemental (battle armor)|Elemental Battle Armor]], Clan Battle Armor mounts a fixed [[Flamer (Vehicle)|Flamer]]. Similarly, the [[SRM-2]] pod is no longer detachable, though the new model uses a pair of [[One-Shot]] SRM-2 launchers. Interestingly, Clan Battle Armor also incorporates a standard searchlight that can be useful in and out of combat, though the design lacks an anti-personnel weapon. Like all Clan battle armor, Clan Battle Armor uses [[HarJel]]. The use of [[Basic Manipulator]]s allow it to ride [[OmniMech]]s and make anti-'Mech attacks.<ref name=CE /><ref name=TRO121 />
