Ship Complement:

Description: The massive array of the Nova’s guns originally seemed greater than any hull or power plant could withstand. At first this proved daunting, as initial tests showed a number of faults in the design that would be expensive to remedy. However, as time passed and refinements were made, the Nova proved quite deadly. The long, rod-shaped superstructure gave way to an internal hangar bay capable of supporting up to a full squadron of fighters – a useful trait during the Dilgar War.

When pulse cannon technology appeared, EarthForce knew it had the weapon perfect for the Nova and the hybrid laser/pulse array was quickly researched and created. This resulted in a much more powerful and flexible dreadnought, but the guns remained extremely high-maintenance items. Many repair crew came to curse their jobs and wish the Alliance had simply picked one weapon over the other. In battle, the slow speed and poor maneuverability of the Nova is overlooked in favor of simply positioning multiple Novas in ways to show the deadly broadsides of the dreadnoughts to the enemy – something they rarely escape from unscathed.
