Novus

Revision as of 15:03, 25 February 2008

The Novus are a race of sentient machines that appear in Universe at War: Earth Assault.

The Novus are the creations of an older alien race who built a wide range of machines to serve them. One such machine intelligence, later known as the Founder, was sent out into space only to return to find its homeworld and its makers destroyed by the Hierarchy. It was on that day that the Founder would form the Novus; which translates as 'those that follow'. Their purpose was simple; to destroy the Hierarchy for what they did to their creators and the few machines that survived would follow their enemies, bent only on revenge.

History

The Novus were created by another unnamed race who served as their Creators and were a species that appeared Human. This race would create a series of intelligent machines and AI's that would serve them and one such entity was sent on exploration missions. While this was being achieved, the homeworld of the creators was attacked by the vicious Hierarchy who razed the planet and killed every living being on the world.

The machines would survive and the ones sent on the exploration mission would return only to find a world in ruins. The primary AI would take on the name as the Founders and rallied the remaining machines that left their world and trace the path of the murderers of their creators, forging themselves as a weapon against them. The machines took on the name Novus which meant to follow. They would gather the remains of one of their creators and cloned her to serve as a warrior as well as a reminder of where they came from. This entity would be called Mirabel and she was paired off with a Novus battlesuit to help her in battle.

The Novus would engage in numerous guerilla missions against the Hierarchy and always managed to survive. Their latest assignment took them to a primitive planet called Earth where the Hierarchy were in the process of wiping out its inhabitants and gather its resources.

Background

Being a race of machines, the Novus possess a wide variety of appearances from Humanoids to vehicles to aerial craft.

Technology

The Novus are a mechanical species that make use of nanotech and possess the capacity of downloading their minds into new locations.

The machines were quite capable in the arts of gravitic technology and were able to build Black Hole Generators that allowed them to deploy their super weapon; a gravity bomb. Once launched at a location, it would suck all forms of matter be it organic or inorganic and destroy it in the process.
