Lore
This section uses content from the StarCraft Wiki.- November Annabella "Nova" Terra (designation: Agent X41822N) is a ghost who served the Terran Dominion.
“Honestly Tino, what are you teaching this girl?”
- — Andrea Tygore to Constantino Terra, after hearing Nova's praise for servants. on StarCraft: Ghost: Nova
- November "Nova" Terra was a member of the Terra family, one of the Terran Confederacy's rich and powerful "Old Families". She is the youngest child of Bella and Constantino Terra, and had two siblings -- Clara and Zeb. The family lived in the Terra Skyscraper in Tarsonis City, Tarsonis. She possessed a degree of empathy that was generally lacking in the Old Families, a trait that did not go unnoticed. She also believed strongly in the concept of fair play. She was regarded as the "golden child" of the family.
- Unknown to Nova, much of her empathy was attributed to her telepathic abilities. Her father, Constantino, was aware of her abilities, if not the full extent of them. Without training she could only sense emotions and at seven years of age was told that she was "empathetic." Normally, psychic children were conscripted into the Ghost Program by wranglers. However, Constantino and Bella kept Nova's abilities a secret, even from Nova herself, telling Nova that she was naturally "empathic."
- At her fifteenth birthday party, Nova learned that she was psychic by reading the lecherous thoughts of Morgan Calabas, a "suitor."
