Nova

November Annabella "Nova" Terra (designation: Agent X41822N) is a ghost who served the Terran Dominion. Nova was a member of the Terra family, one of the Terran Confederacy's rich and powerful "Old Families". She is the youngest child of Bella and Constantino Terra, and had two siblings -- Clara and Zeb. The family lived in the Terra Skyscraper in Tarsonis City, Tarsonis. She possessed a degree of empathy that was generally lacking in the Old Families, a trait that did not go unnoticed. She also believed strongly in the concept of fair play. She was regarded as the "golden child" of the family. Unknown to Nova, much of her empathy was attributed to her telepathic abilities. Her father, Constantino, was aware of her abilities, if not the full extent of them. Without training she could only sense emotions and at seven years of age was told that she was "empathetic." Normally, psychic children were conscripted into the Ghost Program by wranglers. However, Constantino and Bella kept Nova's abilities a secret, even from Nova herself, telling Nova that she was naturally "empathic." Nova, under the command of the Defenders of Man, was later trailed by Michael Liberty. Liberty left tips to Radio Liberty listeners leading them to a secure Defender of Man database, where they discovered her profile and footage showing Nova having assassinated undercover Dominion agents in the base. This caused a stir as this footage leaked to Dominion public, leading Kate Lockwell to ask if Dominion soldiers had gone rogue. Nova and her Covert Ops Crew quickly moved to Tyrador IX, but found it overrun by the zerg. Reigel noted that they could not engage the zerg directly, and that there were high casualties. The Defenders of Man fleet arrived, saying they would help shelter any civilians who needed evacuation. Nova decided that she would engage the zerg first, then deal with the Defenders of Man.
