General
"Sometimes the best man for the job . . . is a woman." - Mirabel
Mirabel
Of the trace genetic material that he recovered from his creator's race, the Founder cloned Mirabel, a young woman that was killed during the Hierarchy's assault on the Novus home world. Constantly placing herself in danger, she has been cloned multiple times since Novus decided to avenge their creators' destruction. With each death and rebirth, the remaining material Novus has dwindles to almost nothing, putting Mirabel in danger of permanent death.
To protect Mirabel, Novus created Viktor, a massive suit of powered armor. He has a protector sentience and a weapons loadout to rival anything Novus can field.

Unit
Viktor
Mirabel and Viktor together are the Assault heroes of Novus, unlocked by the Nanotech Branch. They are superbly effective at taking down walkers (with snipe), packs of infantry (missiles), and fairly effective against aircraft and structures. However, like other Novus units, the duo must be micromanaged for maximum efficiency, since they are not as durable as other Assault heros such as Orlok
Special Abilities

Tips
- Sniper Attack has an excellent damage modifier against Walker hardpoints, allowing it to destroy most of them instantly. On occasion, it will also destroy the socket underneath, particularly nasty if done against a Habitat Walker's crown sockets.
- Remember, projectiles can be dodged in UaW, so strafing with Viktor can be an effective method of controlling damage from units that have a slow rate of fire and slower projectiles (Light mode Disciples and production walkers being prominent examples).
Triva
- Viktor is sometimes heard making unintelligible sounds when Mirabel speaks.
- Viktor's appearance is a clear reference to Japanese mecha anime - the most famous of which is the Mobile Suit Gundam mega-series.
- Viktor is also reminiscent of mechs from the Armored Core franchise.
