Lore

• The Nova first entered service during the StarCitizen:Second Tevarin War in the 2600s, it was intended to replace Tumbril's StarCitizen:DX20 as the new battlefield equalizer. The tank became famous after the StarCitizen:Battle of Koren Pass in StarCitizen:2605, in which three Nova tanks held off an entire StarCitizen:Tevarin strike team for more than sixteen hours.<ref name="brochure" />
