The Nova is a main battle tank developed by Tumbril Land Systems. Built around a large, turreted ballistic cannon, the Nova is used by the United Empire of Earth (UEE) Army and Marine armored units. Early models of the tank were used during the Second Tevarin War and distinguished themselves at the Battle of Koren Pass, where they held off a numerically superior Tevarin strike force in SEY 2605. Tumbril also makes the Nova available for civilian use.
