Nova class dreadnought

|
The Nova class dreadnought is a heavy warship in the science fiction series Babylon 5. The dreadnought is used by the military branch of the Earth Alliance called EarthForce.
The ship was introduced into service sometime in the 2220s prior to the development of the Hyperion class heavy cruiser. The ship is capable of generating its own jump point to enter hyperspace and is heavy armed with both plasma cannons and starfuries. Despite its heavy armament the ship was still ill-equipped to fight in the Earth-Minbari War. Since the conclusion of the war, the class appears to have to superseded by the Omega class destroyer. However, a Nova participated in an attack on a planet close to Babylon 5 as well as in the later Earth civil war.
