Nova are a race of aliens from another dimension that have been invading Earth. The invasion of the Nova led to the development of the Pandora, Limiter, and Stigmata by the Chevalier.
The Nova's first recorded sighting on Earth was 2012, in what would become known as the 1st Nova Clash. The next clash would occur a year later and follow such a pattern until the 4th Nova Clash in 2015. After that there would be a 22 year gap before the next clash, which would then change to an eight year gap between attacks until the 9th Nova Clash ignored the observed pattern. The Nova's perceived goal appears to be nothing more than the complete genocide of the human race. All attempts to communicate with the invaders have proved futile. Humanity's information regarding the Nova is shallow and fragmented, with the reason for their sudden attack still unknown. What is known about the invaders is all conventional weapons are useless against them due to the use of a phenomenon called Freezing. As a result, Pandora are the only viable military option to combat them.
Nova generally appear at random, but have often appeared at cities with large populations. Typical Nova behavior consists of relentlessly attacking anything in the surrounding area until they are destroyed or reach their "time limit". This limit is the amount of time a Nova is active until it self-detonates for unknown reasons. The time varies between Nova. It has been observed that Nova in more recent clashes appear more evolved than those of earlier clashes.
Unknown to the population at large, Maria Lancelot, who was believed to be the first Pandora, is actually a Pandora-Type Nova who appeared on Earth before the 1st Nova Clash. She came to Earth with the mission of destroying mankind. Instead of following her mission, Maria sided with mankind after meeting Gengo Aoi and went on to fight against the Nova in the first four Nova Clashes. Despite being a Nova, Maria was equipped with the first Volt Weapon, "Anti-Nova."

Type-S Nova ("S" standing for "Supreme") are the most advanced type of Nova at the beginning of the series. They have effectively replaced the less efficient Type-F Nova, which are inferior to Type-S Nova in almost every way. The Chevalier have given it the code name "N1". Its first appearance was during the 8th Nova Clash in 2061.
