Regiment Overview

Our Mission

Nova Corps stands as the Imperial Empire's elite protective force for regional governments, transitioning from the 31st Demolition Company's siege-focused legacy.

We specialize in:

  • Safeguarding high-ranking officials
  • Executing critical intelligence operations
  • Deploying as rapid-response units
  • Ensuring governance safety and stability

Imperial Integration

Nova Corps operates within the Sovereign Imperial Outer Rim Task Group during the critical year of 9 BBY.

Our position in the Imperial hierarchy:

  • Directly under regional government authority
  • Work together with other Security Forces
  • Coordination with Imperial Navy and Security Bureau
  • Answering to Imperial High Command protocols

Operational Scope

Nova Corps represents a unique fusion of elite military capability and political sensitivity.

  • Protective services for Imperial leadership
  • Combat operations in high-threat environments
  • Intelligence gathering and surveillance
  • Rapid deployment across outer rim territories
  • Maximum operational roster of 8 elite personnel

Historical Evolution

Legacy of Novatroopers

The historical foundation traces back to elite stormtrooper honor guards who served throughout the Galactic Empire by 9 BBY. These specialized units were assigned to locations of historical significance, including Emperor Palpatine's birthworld of Naboo.

Urban Deployment

Elite Novatroopers were deployed to support intensified crackdowns on illegal activities and protests. Their successful operations established a reputation for effectiveness that continues to influence Nova Corps doctrine.

31st Demolition Company

The transition from the 31st Demolition Company to Nova Corps represents a strategic evolution in Imperial military thinking. While maintaining siege-warfare expertise, Nova Corps expanded to encompass protective services and intelligence operations.

Formation of Nova Corps

The reorganization into Nova Corps reflects changing Imperial security requirements in the outer rim territories. This evolutionary process ensures Nova Corps remains at the forefront of Imperial military effectiveness while honoring the distinguished service record of its predecessors.
