“Our people demand stronger leadership. We will achieve this by installing a new Emperor – one who will restore the glory of the Empire!” -- Imperator Kaeso Mordanticus [Deceased]

"Arissa Lavigny-Duval has revealed the true face of her regime – one based on brutality and terror. The callous execution of Imperator Mordanticus, in conjunction with thousands of Imperial citizens, shows her desperation to cling onto power at any cost. Nova Imperium survives in the Paresa system, a single light in the darkness. We stand for an Empire that respects everyone, from slaves to senators. I truly hope that any who value honour and tradition will help keep our spark alive." -- Imperator Hadrian Augustus Duval

Nova Navy is a group dedicated to supporting Nova Imperium, the official story-based faction formed in 3304. We are currently recruiting both new and experienced pilots to assist with our BGS efforts to push the storyline along.Nova Imperium was formed in 3304 by Imperator Mordanticus, a respected ex-Navy admiral. He sought to restore the Empire to it's former strength and spoke of how the Empire has been weakened by it's support of the military group Aegis, which has repeatedly escalated the human-Thargoid conflict and failed to defend Imperial citizens from their retaliation. He had also discovered a long-lost heir to the Imperial Throne, Hadrian Augustus Duval, and quickly gained support with calls to cut ties with Aegis and make Hadrian the heir to the throne.The Emperor ignored these calls and instead attempted a brutal massacre of Imperial citizens, publicly executing Mordanticus along with all other captured members, and mass arrests of those who had supported members. However, Hadrian Duval and members based in Paresa were able to escape the purge.A resurgence occurred in Paresa, with the surviving members finding new support from those horrified by the murders - later on, this would include Princess Aisling Duval. Soon, the entire Paresa system was under the governance of secret Nova Imperium members, and they began to spread to other systems, regaining power and support.Aegis were meant to protect us and they have done the opposite. We ask that any commanders who wish to resist Aegis and restore the Empire will join us and our cause.Memento Mordanticus!
