Starcraft 2 news » Patch 3.2 - Nova Covert Ops: Mission Pack One
November “Nova” Terra (Agent X41822N) awakens in an unknown facility. She has no memories of where she is, or what her mission was… her memory has been wiped.
You join Nova as she seeks to remember her mission, and investigate new threats to the safety of the Terran Dominion. Are the Zerg moving to capture Terran worlds? Is a new Terran faction seeking to seize power?
It falls to the most elite covert operative in the Dominion to find the answers.
In Nova Covert Ops you can expect to find missions unlike anything you’ve played before. Use your tactics in stealth and strategy to overcome situations that are impossible with brute force alone and feel what it’s like to be a trained Dominion Ghost in the field. As the story progresses, those who apply tactical planning towards their objectives will find the greatest success, but don’t expect to be able to plan for every turn of events!
Throughout Mission Pack One, you’ll navigate complex facilities while avoiding detection, pilot vehicles to help achieve your objectives, and assassinate critical targets, all while acquiring intel on your opponent’s mission. We can’t say too much of course, but Nova: Covert Ops is sure to provide a new angle on the StarCraft II campaign-style of mission.
Along the way, Nova will become increasingly powerful and customizable as you discover and unlock additional equipment for her to take into the field. Ever wonder how unstoppable a cloaked Nova would be like with a shotgun in her hands? Now you can find out.
Beyond Nova, you can also customize your units and the equipment they bring into battle. For example, if a map has a lot of cliffs and ravines, you might want to consider equipping your Siege Tanks with Jump Jet Technology so that they can easily make their way up and down those steep cliffs! Alternatively, you may want to opt to grant them defensive Spider Mines so that they are more difficult to take down.
Mission Pack One will serve as the launching point for the rest of Nova Covert Ops, while also sending you on espionage-filled journeys across the sector to discover the secrets being held by the Defenders of Man. Knowing is half the battle, and the intel you gather in Mission Pack One will serve you well in the days to come as the battle for the Dominion’s newfound freedom is in your hands.
