NOVA Protocol is a high-tier private military contractor operating under UEE regulation—but rarely within its shadow. Specializing in black ops, high-risk security detail, and strategic enforcement missions, NOVA Protocol combines bleeding-edge technology with relentless tactical efficiency.
NOVA Protocol’s history doesn’t begin on a battlefield—it begins in a boardroom. Officially founded in 2921, the organization’s public-facing records list it as a private tactical consultancy formed by former UEE Navy and Advocacy officers. But whispers in military and corporate circles trace its origins further back—to a now-decommissioned black project known only as Directive NOVA, rumored to have been a contingency program during the Messer era for enforcing martial law in unstable sectors.
When the program was shelved post-Messer reforms, its assets—personnel, ships, data—didn’t disappear. They were privatized.
Early Operations (2921–2935):
NOVA Protocol emerged as a “clean” PMC in a dirty galaxy, offering high-tier private security for corporate convoys, VIP extractions, and high-risk escort missions through uncharted systems. Operating just outside the edge of UEE red tape, they quickly built a reputation for unmatched precision, discretion, and results.
Their involvement in the Kellog Trade Route Purge (2924)—a quiet but deadly series of strikes against pirate syndicates disrupting mineral exports—earned them covert support from multiple UEE senators and corporate stakeholders.
Expansion & Shadow Work (2935–2945):
As piracy and Vanduul incursions escalated, NOVA Protocol expanded into more aggressive roles: deniable operations, blacksite reclamations, and deep-space interdictions. Rumors suggest they were involved in covert testing of early quantum suppression tech years before it was publicly deployed by the Navy.
During this era, internal reorganization led to the creation of their now-feared Spectre Units—ultra-elite teams specializing in infiltration, sabotage, and cyberwarfare.
Corporate Entanglements (2946–2949):
With the rise of mega-corporations and political unrest post-Messer, NOVA Protocol found themselves walking the razor’s edge between legitimate security work and morally grey enforcement. Leaked footage in 2947 appeared to show NOVA operatives neutralizing protesters on behalf of a Stanton-based weapons conglomerate, sparking controversy. The UEE refused to comment. The company denied involvement. No operatives were ever identified.
Present Day (2950–):
Today, NOVA Protocol operates under the radar but in plain sight—discreetly contracted by the powerful, quietly feared by the rest. Their fleet has grown, their tactics more refined. From Stanton to Pyro, Nyx to Vega, the message is clear: if NOVA shows up, someone paid enough to make the problem disappear completely.
They claim no ideology. No allegiance. Just results.
Because war may be chaos…
But NOVA is protocol.
We are the line between chaos and control.
In the void where empires waver, where fleets fall, and where law collapses into noise, we remain constant. We are not an army. We are not a militia. We are the scalpel in a world of sledgehammers.
Our allegiance is to the contract.
Not to ideology. Not to politics. Not to flags waved by those too weak to enforce them. We serve those who understand that survival, sovereignty, and strength are not given by chance—they are secured by action.
We do not fight for glory. We fight for outcome.
Glory is noise. We leave no parades, no press releases. We leave silence. Cleared channels. Controlled systems. Objectives achieved. Threats erased.
We do not recruit. We refine.
Every member of NOVA Protocol is forged through failure, filtered by experience, and sharpened by necessity. You are not given a place here. You earn it—one protocol at a time.
We are weaponized discipline. Tactical silence. Quantum-fast death.
We breach where others break. We strike before they know they’ve been marked. We do not announce ourselves—we manifest results. There is no warning. Only resolution.
Adapt. Control. Execute.
These are not just words. They are our DNA.
Adapt to the unknown.
Control the environment.
Execute without hesitation.
Failure is not punished. It is prevented.
This is NOVA Protocol.
We do not seek order.
We enforce it.
