The premise for the Nova Strike Fighter is simple; take the biggest gun you can find, mate it to the biggest engine practical for a fighter, add enough shielding and armor to justify the cost of the weapon, and point it at the enemy. To this end, the Nova mounts a single heavy turbolaser cannon, a weapon normally found only on capital ships. Two wing-mounted laser cannons are added for use against fighters. A proprietary SRM-6 launcher is mounted in the rear to discourage pursuit, as the mass of the cannon precludes an agile or particularly fast craft.
