Marshal Nova is the current ruler of the Tundran Territories, and supreme commander of the nation's military. Initially portrayed as an enemy, he eventually allies with the player's forces to defend against the Xylvanian menace.
Background[]
His father, Tsar Gorgi, had been in power for decades, and had held a deep suspicion of the neighboring Western Frontier which sparked a pre-emptive Tundran invasion of the Frontier. Unfortunately, the Tsar had acted on faulty intelligence supplied by Kaiser Vlad of Xylvania. The Kaiser intended to distract the other nations while he searched for the Staff of Qa-Len, an ancient doomsday device that once belonged to the Solar Empire.
Years later, Nova rises to power. While he initially believes that it was the Frontier that had broken the ceasefire, he learns that it was really the Tsar, whom he angrily strips of his authority over the Tundran forces. Hoping to ensure Tundra's victory, Tsar Gorgi secretly made a pact with Kaiser Vlad, which was eventually broken by Countess Ingrid's Bomber attack on both armies. The two warring nations proclaim a ceasefire, and form the Alliance of Nations in order to defend against the Xylvanian menace.
After the Alliance of Nations seizes the Vladstag, the Kaiser's stronghold, in the final mission, Kaiser Vlad is able to escape by helicopter. However, Nova is able to take Ubel into custody, throwing him into a Tundran gulag indefinitely.
