The Nova class dreadnought, some times referred to as a battleship is an immense Earth Alliance warship designed to bring massive fire power against any target.

This vessel is one of the older classes alongside with the Hyperion class heavy cruiser and shares a similar basic design as the much later Omega class destroyer. This design fought in many engagements in the Earth-Minbari War but like the other capital ships of that time found itself totally outclassed by the Minbari ships, and many were destroyed during the conflict.^[2]
