Nova Fleet

The Nova Fleet is a nomadic flotilla of ships that travels from system to system, never settling in any one place.

Description
The Nova Fleet is a breakaway fleet from a highly advanced Human colony fleet that was stranded in the Orion Galaxies. With all attempts at establishing communications unsuccessful, the ships turned to floating the cosmos, and over hundreds of years suppressed details of their origins.

Over the hundreds of years, they have travelled to almost every corner of the Orion Galaxy.

Despite being nomadic, they are almost entirely self sufficient, having a greenhouse for food on every ship, being able to manufacture various warships on the fly thanks to huge foundry ships, and the various mining vessels in their fleet to gather any resources they cannot produce onboard their ships.

Their military arm is known as Nova Fleet Defence (NFD).

Nova Fleet maintains diplomatic relations with Trident Foundries and the Trident civilization, as well as the rest of the members of the Union of Interstellar States.

History
The Nova Fleet's origins are suppressed, so not much information is available about their creation. All that is known, is that the Nova Fleet was a breakaway from a colony fleet that turned to a nomadic lifestyle.

In around GY 2400, they surfaced in the region of the Orion Galaxies that contained the Trident civilization, and immediately made trading agreements, as the Trident merchants had valuable (to the Nova Fleet) raw materials for reasonable prices.
