After the political fallout of the [[Second Combine-Dominion War]], the Nova Cats would be forced to sell the design to [[Clan Sea Fox]], where they would put the vehicle into production at their own production facilities on [[Itabaiana]]. Only later by permission of the [[Draconis Combine]], the Nova Cats would be permitted to resume production on a limited basis at their own production facilities on [[Irece]] in 3120.

==Armament and Capacities==
Powered by a Clan Consolidated 215-Rated XL Fusion Engine, the power plant allows the Cizin to outmaneuver many of its opponents. Its hull is protected by 7 tons of Clan Nova Cat's [[ferro-fibrous|Alpha Compound Ferro-Fibrous]] armor, which is focused mainly in its front with modest armoring found in the turret and its sides while benefiting from integrated [[CASE]] protection.

Most of the Cizin's firepower comes from four Series 2d Extended-Range Medium Lasers found in the tank's turret.  Backing up the turret weapons is pair of 2-tubed Pattern D-II SRM Launchers mounted in its front with 1 ton of ammunition.  The turreted energy weapons are all tied in to a [[Targeting Computer]] mounted in the main body.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', pp. 18–19, 70: Cizin - BV2</ref>
