Nova Squad image - AK151

The best of the best that the resistance has to offer. Nova Squad was created by Jedi Master Terak Jay to answer the need of an effective hit-and-run, fast strike team. Consisting of only the elite, Nova is one of the deadliest foes to face on the battlefield, especially as a team.

Since the defection of Aaron Karax, Nova has been outfitted with prototype power armor that enhances speed, strength, and reflexes. The armor is durable and has a layer of prototype shielding, ray and particle shields weaved into one layer.

Their weapons are custom and most forgo energy in favor of metal slugs, adopting an approach similar to the Mandalorians.

Others may join Nova depending on the mission, but only four stay.

Clysedale is Nova Squad's leader, CQC specialist, and pilot, an expert in the latter two fields and possessing the best tactical mind of the squad. That, combined with his natural charisma, makes him the ideal choice to lead the squad.

Fury is Clysedales unofficial second, and the heavy weapon specialist of the group. While the position is often stereotyped as only for dimwitted soldiers, Fury defies this, possessing cunning and intelligence enough to outsmart even members of her own squad. On the battlefield, she is said to scare even her allies, her preferred weapon, a customized heavy turret, able to mow down dozens in seconds.

Hawkeye claims to be the opposite of Fury. Where she focuses on the bulk of the force, Hawkeye picks out those of importance and eliminates them. The team's best marksman, he is often called upon to scout, and more often to assassinate. His sniper rifle is essentially a mass accelerator, and depending on the ammunition, it can kill anything from infantry to tanks.

Hotshot is the newest member of Nova, and without a doubt one of the most valuable. Proving his skill at both Kuat and Bespin, his affinity for technology is unmatched. In battle, he uses a rifle similar to Hawkeye's but with less range and recoil but better firing rate.
