It is armed with a single turret-mounted [[lance]] in the prow of the ship, able to fire to the sides, and in front of the ship, and two small [[weapons batteries]], also turret mounted. However, its engines are much more powerful than a Firestorm's, making the Nova almost twice as fast as a cruiser of the Imperial Navy. This speed and manoeuvrability allow the Nova class to get to favourable firing positions, deliver the lance armament's bite, and withdraw before the enemy can react to bring their guns to bear on the Nova.{{Fn|1}}
