	Nova class Dreadnought Scale: The Babylon 5 Tech-Manual.
		Areas marked on the Nova are from the crease on the forward section, to the peak of the engine housing.
		The Nova is based on the same space frame as the Omega class Destroyer and in the same proportions as the Omega.
		Only difference between the Omega and the Nova is weapons load-out and the distinct lack of a rotating section on the Nova, suggesting that the Nova is indeed 1455.6 meters in length.

	Nova-N E.F.N.I.
		The Nova dreadnoughts have been the mainstay of the Fleet in the rise of the Earth Alliance as a main power, the ancestors of our most importants war units, the shield and the sword of the Alliance in his glory days, the last ditch in his most tragic moments.
		The Nova Dreadnought is still today a symbol of power, and a memory of the valour of the people of three generations that have bravely fought on these ships.
		The Nova N, and the Nova Beta, have a decent linear acceleration, given their enormous mass, and a lot of power availble: their maneuverabilty is hampered by the fact that they are slow to yaw and to pitch up or down.

	Nova II
		Nova II The new Nova II class Dreadnought, waited for a long time, is the ship aimed to replace in hers original role the Nova DN, and will become a mainstay in the defensive and offensive operations of the fleets.
		After a long period of relative obscurity, The Novas came back to the lime light during the "Drakh Line Battle" in 2266, when many of these old dreadnoughts fought side by side with the Omegas and Warlocks.
		These very large units are something more than a simple Dreadnought, and are conceived to handle menaces of the highest level, but, even if they are probably the most powerful and effective warships of the E.A., they are very large, very complex, and more of all, extremely expensive.

	Hyperspace: Earth Alliance
		They were the first new ship class to be designed and built after the disastrous Minbari war, based on the Nova Class, and they incorporated much new technology.
		The Omega class is 1717 meters long, and it is equipped with numerous particle weapons (capable of firing in beam or pulse mode), which are used as both offensive weapons and defensive interceptors and anti-fighter guns.
		The Nova Class was Earth Force's largest and most powerful ships during the Minbari war, 1455 meters long, but still inferior to all the Minbari ships.

	Nova class dreadnought - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the few occasions in which the Novas survived until a very short range to target the Minbari units with the manual emergency weapon controls, the plasma cannons of the Novas were able to inflict devastating damage to enemy warships.
		After the conclusion of the war, the class was largely superseded by the more flexible Omega class destroyer.
		However, Novas were seen participating in an attack on a planet close to Babylon 5, as well as in the later Earth civil war.

		The Nova design, introduced during the war and considerably improved afterwards, was seen as a more effective ship and the Orpheus remained a one of a kind ship.
		Oracle Class Scout, Epsilon Variant Only a handful of the remaining Oracles were converted to this variant in the late 2250's.
		Hermes Class CVL Variant Intended as a command ship for a group of Tethys Patrol Boats, the Hermes CVL carries a dozen Star Furys, and is armed with an effective anti-fighter arsenal.

		The five expermental testbeds, designated as the NOVA-X class, were used to test new pulse cannon technology, advances in particle beam weapons and, most importantly, tested and proved the viability of using rotating sections on large scale warships.
		Upon the conclusion of the Earth/Minbari war Earthforce abandoned further development of the Hyperion and Rocketdyne was contracted to build Omega class Destroyers in mass as a replacement for the Hyperions, which failed to present a viable deturent against the Minbari.
		This is due to the fact that the Omega class Destroyer was designed a little more with their crews in mind and not simply the weapon systems.

	Starship Modeler: Gallery (Babylon 5)
		All the original Novas assigned to the Earth Force Naval Intelligence before and during the Minbari war were lost in action, the last surviving units trying to oppose the Minbari forces at the Io outpost, so at the beginning of 2248 was needed to rebuild the EFNI Naval service from zero.
		For strike and combat support in situation that potentially required high firepower, was chosen the Rocketdyne NOVA Dreadnought in an upgraded variant, overall better suited and less expensive than the Omega for the ambush warfare that frequently involves the Operation Division of the EFNI.
		The limbs that bear the turrets, the side hangars and the armoured cube amidship were scratchbuilt with Evergreen styrene sheet and evergreen profiles and rods, as the railgun turrett on the bow.

	The Earthforce Nova class Battlecruiser
		The maiden voyage of one of the very first Nova Class Battleship, was into Minbari space and played a strong role in the tragedy that began the Earth/Minbari war.
		Until the introduction of the Omega class destroyer, the Nova class was the most powerful ship in the Earth fleet.
		Most of the Nova class battlecruisers were destroyed in the Minbari war but the remaining ships of the class have been heavily upgraded and the ship remaining are still very potent warships able to defeat ships of the same size of many of the other races.

		Axis Nova starship design reflects the bootstrapped nature of the technology base they're from; while they are well armed and tough, they have no artificial gravity generators (other than the Omega and Poseidon classes, which generate artificial gravity in one section via rotation), and are somewhat lacking in the sensor department.
		The Olympus Class is used as a patrol vessel in rear areas, and to deal with commerce raiders, as well as being an escort vessel.
		The smallest ship in the Axis Nova Space Forces capable of generating a jump point on it's own, these heavy cruisers are for the moment the mainstay of Axis Nova forces, lending their double beam cannons and missiles to any battle they find themselves in.

		The Omega was built on Nova class frames making use of the already existing parts and the Nova design.
		The ship's design however is very different from the Nova class, using a rotating section to create gravity for the crew and the concept of battleship was changed to a manouverable, all around carrier/destroyer.
		Omega class packs an impressive amount of firepower and the main guns, two heavy lasers in the forward section, can easily punch through heavy armor while the multi-directional pulse cannons make sure that every angle is covered.

		The Nova class dreadnought can be considered a battleship; its 22 twin plasma cannons can deliver immense firepower against any target.
		Nowadays the Nova serves mainly as a planetary bombardment platform as there is no modern design for the task yet.

	Playing the Feds, Ver 1.4, April 1997
		You won't even have to max out your starbases: Theoretically you can produce a maxed out Nova Class Dreadnought using 4 Starbases: The first produces the Hull, the Nova will be towed to the second which "Super Refits" it with Transwarps, the third supplies the Torpedolaunchers and the forth will have the beams necessary.
		The Nova is the backbone of any Federation fleet that does not comprise of large carriers obtained by other races.
		The Nova is extremely expensive: 810 MC's compared to 450 MC's for a Darkwing and 410 MC's for a Diamond Flame or a Victorious.

		This ship has drawn considerable criticism from some of the officers in the upper echelons of the Stellar Fleet, who feel that continuing to build this class without improvements in it's combat potential, which would strip it of some of it's scientific use, is a waste of resources, time, and personnel.
		This class of ship is lightly armed, lightly shielded, and is normally commanded by low officers, such as Lieutenant j.g.'s.escription: The Predator is an effective ship for it's size and cost.
		However, serious thought is being placed on building a third carrier class to perform this role, and leaving the Hermes to it's current defensive use.

		Their fixed mounts and the loss of arc from the nose cone would mean they aren't intended to act as anything but heavy assualt weapons (for targets important enough to bring about the entire ship).
		Are other EA ships(Omega class destroyers,Hyperion heavy cruisers,etc.) armed with similiar cannons?I saw the defense satellites fire on a Drakh ship in "A Call To Arms" and they look the same as the beams fired by the Clarkstown and the Alexander in "Severed Dreams".
		The Warlock seems to be a combination of the Omega Class Destroyer and the Nova Class Dreadnought with its own little twist but their are a few points of the ship which have confused me.
