Line 171:
* [[Standard Sci-Fi Fleet]]: In ''Nova'', the Federation and Auroran Empire each have an interceptor, a fighter-bomber, a gunship, a light cruiser, and a carrier. The Federation adds a scoutship, while the Aurorans later develop a fast battleship designed for close-range brawling. The Polaris use [[Living Ship|living ships]] equivalent to fighters, gunships, frigates, destroyers, and two types of [[The Battlestar|battleship/carrier hybrids]]. Meanwhile the Rebels have an interceptor, fighter-bomber, three different gunships, and two different cruisers.
** ''EVC'' gives the Confederation and Rebels each a fighter, gunship, destroyer, and [[The Battlestar|cruiser]].
* [[Standard Sci -Fi History]]: ''Nova's'' backstory follows this structure almost to the letter. Humanity is currently in the Renaissance stage.
* [[Standard Sci -Fi Setting]]: The main twists ''Nova'' puts on it are: all the main factions are humans (or human offshoots, in the case of the Vell-os); there ''are'' no [[Precursors]] for all intents and purposes (Those Who Came Before having been gone so long that nothing's really left of them); and that [[Space Marines]] are present but, due to the series taking place entirely in space, are basically ignored.
* [[Starfish Aliens]]: The Wraith<ref>No relation to ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]''</ref> in ''Nova''. They can grow to 30 meters in size and look like the business end of a trident, live in gas giants, can [[Stealth in Space|cloak]] and enter hyperspace unaided, [[Telepathic Spacemen|are telepathic]], and can emit [[Photoprotoneutron Torpedo|graviton beams]].
** Also the Krypt, the [[Hive Mind|hive minded]] result of the Vell-os ruling council having imbued their minds into their nanites upon the Vell-os' surrender to the Colonial Council in 555 NC. The Krypt manifests as "krypt pods", weird purple-glowing spheres in the wastes west of Federation territory.
