Introduction
With the constant rise of hostile factions, safety has been a decreasing thing in many galaxies. The ideas of peace and unity seemed to be dying across the universe, to the point where action had to be taken. With this concern in mind, a powerful military faction called the Nova Unit began.
Origins
Long before the beginning of the Nova Unit, the founder lived on a planet owned by a peacemaking faction. As he grew, he began to notice how dangers increased year after year. Eventually, it became very obvious that the faction could not keep funding defense for the incoming threats. Once their debt was revealed to the public, they disbanded and abandoned the planet. Ever since that day, the soon-to-be founder dreamed of creating a group which that could achieve what the faction could not achieve.
History
The Beginning
Naotti System, where the main base of the original faction lived, is abandoned upon the disbanding. The (soon to be named) Nova Unit founder, Aedar, becomes inspired to make something better, and earns followers.
The Idea Spreads
Upon the beginning of the idea, some begin to spread it to other systems, gaining more followers and support on the way. However, not all reactions were positive.
Ship Production Begins
With enough funding from support, and their first planetary base, they began producing the original ships. As the first fleet of fighters is made, Antares prototype's blueprint is made.
Conflict Stirs
As read previously, their ideas had spread to other systems. With some against this, their first battle began. Their base was heavily damaged alongside their fleet, but they won by swarming the lead ship. Knowing that their ships were not good enough, they increased their standards and made the quad-laser fighter.
The Faction Truly Begins
With new confidence from winning their first battle, the faction was finally given a name (still isn't going to be called the Nova Unit). They gained the name, Terran Protection Force, but it was not long before they changed it.

Ships
The Nova Unit's fleets mainly consist of large ships with balanced energy sources, strong defense, and good weaponry. Their ships have an easily distinguishable paint scheme which consists of navy blue ships with white stripes, and their symbol.
Transport Ships
Whether in battles or just travelling from one area to another, the Nova Unit relies on these maneuverable ships for transport.
