Nova (StarCraft: Ghost)

Nova is the code name of a Terran Ghost in the Blizzard Entertainment game, StarCraft: Ghost.

Twenty years of physical conditioning and training have made her one of Nova Squadron's foremost assassins. She uses much in the way of new technology and new psionic techniques in her missions as a student in the Ghost Academy, including the Terran cy-blade, the FWGS energy pistol, many new types of grenades, psionic sight (which enables her to see heat signatures), psionic speed (which quadruples her speed) and psionic shock (which dazes an opponent and inflicts short-term memory loss, which the opponent doesn't notice), in addition to traditional Terran Ghost techniques and equipment.

While seemingly loyal to the Terran Dominion, which Nova Squadron has joined, her true loyalty is to Colonel Jackson Hauler.
