Changes

The Nova class is a [[Space Marine]] lance boat, much like the [[Firestorm Class Frigate]] in the [[Imperial Navy]]. It is a much more controversial ship however, because it does not follow the [[Codex Astartes]]. It is a pure-breed warship, it can not land troops, or transport them to other ships. It is ineffective in planetry assault also, but a very capable capital ship hunter. Both the Imperial Navy and [[Inquisition]] have taken issue with the class, as it encroaches on the duties of the Imperial Navy, and upsets the balance of power within the [[Imperium]], giving too much to the Adeptus Astartes. Due to this, the Nova remains a rare sight in the fleets of the Space Marines.
