Watcher Datafile: Squadron of Nova Corps Star Blasters
The Star Blaster is the Nova Corps’ fast-response attack craft, designed for orbital defense, pursuit actions, blockade runs, and fleet engagements against hostile cosmic forces. A single Star Blaster is a dangerous ship in the hands of a trained Corps pilot, but Nova doctrine favors coordinated squadrons moving in tight formation, linking targeting arrays, cross-covering approach vectors, and overwhelming larger enemies with disciplined attack patterns.
While this is specific to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you can also use these Nova starships in Annihilation to battle the Annihilation Wave.
