The Nover civilization used to be very similar to most, they had elected political leaders or rulers, and once the great galactic war began there was an alliance of leaders who were all in charge, but once all the military were together, they soon realized that they did not care for any of their political governments. A coup happened in the military over through the politicians, basically putting the planet under militant rule. It’s run by five admirals who have reached the highest rank, all planetary issues are discussed between the five admirals, and if there is a disagreement amongst the admirals, the chosen fleet admiral will get the final say. Basically the other four will vote on an issue first. If it’s three to one or four to nothing, then the admiral may throw out their vote, but it will carry no matter what. But if the vote is 2 to 2, the fleet admiral gets to cast the deciding vote after both parties make their case to him or her. Their planet as a result has become more focussed on the pursuit of rank.
The Nover fleet is the largest in the galaxy. They don’t have the best weapons or the best shielding, but they have the largest amount of ships. because of this, their society has mainly been focussed on orbital bombardment and space warfare and doesn’t have the largest standing army. Which means they could hit a planet from above, but didn’t have that many ground forces to take any locations. They do have an army, but it’s looked on as for something for those in the lower class or the less skilled only recently have they developed a more robust, strike force with their group known as the fireflies. But ground combat is still seen in the higher echelons as less important work.
The Novers rose to be one of the four biggest superpowers in the galaxy arguably they could’ve been said to be the biggest. When the planet of the Chisser was taken over by the Bontess. The Novers reached out to see if they needed assistance, in hopes of gaining an alliance with The Chisser. Who had stayed out of the war, there was a lot of propaganda saying that Novers were the genetically superior race in the galaxy, this led to alliances being broached as a nonstarter because how can you make an alliance with a lesser species? However, the Chisser were genetically very similar to the Novers. Instead of orange skin, they had blue and then instead of white eyes they had red. so they sought to make an alliance, but the Chisser did not want to take part in the war. But when they were forced to join the Bontess, the admirals thought this was their chance. However the Chisser told them that they only surrendered under the terms that they would never be ordered to attack the Nover fleet, and the Bontess agreed. This commitment Was put to the test when a Nover mining ship discovered a large deposit of Fuzion. And they were discovered by a Chisser cruiser, The Novers fully expected to be fired upon. But the ship only watched them and reported back to the empire. It could’ve easily taken them out but The Bontess we’re true to their word and did not even order them to attack. This resulted in the Nover fleet, reducing their attacks on the Bontess and eventually the Chisser putting together a truce between the two civilizations. Soon after that, the. Glazkarta alliance and the Mangore Pack sued for peace. There are some who wanted to continue the war. To join with the Bontess and wipe out the rest of the vermin, because at least the Bontess looked similar to them. They are a very proud civilization, very determined and focused. They believe since they are under military rule that they don’t fall into the same pitfalls of corruption and greed like everybody else. However, they are just as susceptible to any temptations as any government.
