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]
