StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops is a DLC campaign for StarCraft II, made up of 9 playable missions. The first pack of 3 missions was released on 29 March 2016, along with Patch 3.2; the second was released on 2 August, along with Patch 3.5 and the final one was made available on 22 November 2016, along with Patch 3.8.As the name suggests, the story focuses on Nova, the Dominion Ghost first seen in Wings Of Liberty. Having found herself framed with treason, and with her memories distorted, Nova must find out what happened to her and her team on their last mission (before her memories got screwed up), and who set her up. Along the way, she gets entangled with the Defenders of Man, an anti-Dominion group. |

Unexpected Gameplay Change |
| | StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops (Video Game) / int_1467a30c |
comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: The first mission itself - the first half is a Stealth-Based Mission where you have to sneak around and take out enemies without being detected ala Metal Gear, and the second is suddenly an Unexpected Shmup Level where you not only have to shoot enemy vehicles out of the way, but also avoid civilian traffic, complete with an end-level boss. Thankfully, the game returns to its RTS roots when you get to the following mission. |

Never Trust a Trailer: The "Betrayal" trailer implied that Nova and Matt Horner are at odds, if not outright enemies. In the actual game, Matt sympathizes with Nova's case and she is his first and best line of defense against the Zerg. |

Flunky Boss: The boss is assisted by banshees. High-Speed Battle: Nova is on a Hover Bike on a highway when the Warhawk pulls up. Vehicular Assault: The boss is a huge gunship. |

Generation Xerox: The Defenders are trying to invoke this. Besides trying to portray Valerian as an Emperor who neglects the fringe worlds (like Arcturus), by framing Nova, there is definitely the hope that Valerian would purge the Ghost corps, just like Arcturus when Kerrigan went rogue. |

Awesome, but Impractical |
| | StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae |
comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Putting Jump Jets on Siege Tanks certainly sounds like an awesome idea, allowing them to move up onto otherwise-unreachable plateaus to rain down death upon all nearby enemies with no fear of reprisal... except they're still just as helpless against air units, and putting them up on those otherwise-unreachable areas generally leaves them out of support-range of any of your anti-air defenses (at least before Nova gains access to her air force), leaving them very exposed. That being said, Jump Jets can be useful for microing your Siege Tanks away from enemies like you would with the Stalker's Blink ability, but using them as the game clearly wants you to is a pretty good way to get them killed. The Special Ordnance upgrade for Ravens turns their Seeker Missile into a basic attack, waiving the need for energy and micro-management to use it while also letting them hit buildings. In theory, this gives them a pretty good boost to damage output... until you consider that the missiles' splash damage hits your own units as well, making them great at tearing apart your own frontline. And unlike Siege Tanks' shells, the missiles have a travel time, meaning that if a Raven gets trigger-happy on a Zealot or the likes, your own Marines are probably about to have a bad day. |

Boring, but Practical |
| | StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 |
comment |
Boring, but Practical: One of the possible upgrades allows a unit that normally requires a tech lab (such as Marauders or Siege Tanks) be built without it. Dull but it lets you build two at a time from the same building with a reactor. In fact, giving it to Marauders/Siege Tanks means you no longer need tech labs for your Barracks/Factories at all. There's another upgrade for Hellbats, Siege Tanks, and Liberators to transform between modes almost instantly. This can be a lifesaver for frantic situations (and there will be those moments). Several units, such as Marines and Goliaths can use an upgrade that massively reduces their build time. Great for both getting started and when your bases is being swarmed. |

Cast from Hit Points: Inverted with the new Super Stim Packs which heal units along with increasing movement and attack speed, though this is likely to balance the distinct lack of healers until Night Terrors. The new stim packs operate more like a Super Serum than anything else. |

Nostalgia Level |

comment |
Nostalgia Level: Subverted with the Night Terrors mission. At first glance it looks like v2.0 of Welcome To The Jungle (grab terrazine from hostile Tal'darim forces who try to destroy the extraction sites), but it's considerably more difficult by the fact that there's a huge Zerg base who attack you when you extract terrazine, the extraction itself takes a lot longer, and unlike Welcome To The Jungle, destroying every base is not an Instant-Win Condition (what's more, even destroying their base doesn't stop their death flotillas from going out to seal off the sites). It also contains two optional boss fights. |

Fantastic Racism: The Defenders of Man, according to Word of God, intend to eradicate both the Zerg and the Protoss. This is the reason why they want to overthrow Emperor Valerian Mengsk—his diplomatic stance towards alien races is putting humanity at threat. Not only are they trying to frame the Zerg as the real threat, but they've also attacked a Tal'Darim base, incurring the wrath of Alarak. May be ultimately subverted, as their goal could be a more banal one: preserving the power/wealth which they had accumulated under Arcturus's reign, and is now threatened by Valerian's reforms. |

You Nuke 'Em: From the third mission onwards, Nova is given free access to the Dominion's nuclear arsenal. Every base starts with a Ghost Academy auto-producing nukes for free. In fact this is one of the easiest methods for beating several missions on Brutal difficulty. EVERY Ghost Academy you build auto-constructs nukes for free - and they all have independent cooldowns. Build 10-15 or so in the back of your base and Nova can effectively nuke on command with no cooldown. |

Deconstructed Trope |
| | StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops (Video Game) / int_8aa0f76 |
comment |
Deconstructed Trope: The campaign deconstructs The Good King trope. Valerian finds out that even with him being an objectively better emperor than his father, there is still resistance to his rule, resistance that may one day need to be dealt with through overt violence. It's up to Nova to save his reputation. It seemingly got so bad that he abdicates the throne at the end of the sixth mission, but it turns out to be a ruse to capture the leader of the Defenders of Man. Nova reminded Valerian that General Davis was loyal to his family, and not to him personally. Through this, it is implied that Davis was a beneficiary of the corruption within the Dominion under Arcturus's reign, and that she and others like her will fight to resist Valerian, whose reforms would almost certainly mean the end of easy money/power for them. Nova being forced to save the Defenders of Man from the Tal'darim in the fourth mission since letting them be destroyed would leave the planet defenselessness predictably leads to them taking all the credit for saving the planet under attack by the Zerg. Helping villains win a battle to save innocent lives unfortunately really helps their reputation. The final battle with the Big Bad General Davis ends with a single attack, rather than a boss battle. Davis is only a normal human in a dress uniform, whereas Nova is a One-Man Army with Power Armor and high tech weapons. |

Overshadowed by Awesome: Starting on the penultimate mission, Battlecruisers can be given cloaking technology, meaning they can warp in undetected and rain hell upon enemies. While certainly useful, especially since neither Tactical Jump nor Yamato Cannon require energy, other upgrades such as Special Ordiance or Regenerative Bio-Seteel are much more beneficial. In the end, it's better to give the cloaking technology to Liberators, Reapers, or Banshees, particularly since the latter two become permanently cloaked with the upgrade. |

Never My Fault: General Davis claims Valerian's weakness led to the Tal'darim attacking Verdona, ignoring that it was her men that provoked them to begin with. Alarak orders the Tal'darim to indiscriminately attacks Terran civilians, not caring at all whether they're affiliated with the Defenders or the Dominion. Nova is forced to fight off the Tal'darim attackers which then causes Alarak to accuse her of betrayal. To be fair to Alarak, however, as noted under his character page, Nova did not discuss what he plans to do with the Defenders and how, and as he is infamous for utilizing Loophole Abuse, he just went through with "don't attack them until the leader of the Defenders of Man are found. |

Revenge Before Reason: General Davis would rather destroy the Dominion than serve Valerian, whom she blames for his father's death, and Alarak completely ignores the fact that the Dominion's Emperor and innocent civilians are in the firing line when he attacks the Defenders of Man's compound. Nova kills Davis in cold blood after destroying her Humongous Mecha, despite strict orders from Valerian that she be captured alive to stand trial. |

The All-Seeing A.I.: In the final mission, any time Nova tries to call in a nuke, the enemy will immediately do a comsat sweep right over her exact position and nearby units will swarm to attack her. This will happen even if she had previously gone undetected getting into position, and even if she's out of vision range of enemy units or structures — no matter how stealthy you are, once the nuke is targeted the AI knows exactly where she is. The only way to stop this is to destroy all command centers with the ability. |

Hypocritical Humor: Alarak speaks of the "brazen disrespect" shown by the Defenders in attacking a Tal'darim outpost... as he's dragging a claw across the Griffin's computer monitor, leaving a massive scratch. Of course, it is Alarak. And later he mocks Nova for her "hubris", despite himself possessing a monstrous ego. |

Timed Mission: Averted in the first mission. Despite the facility self-destructing, the rooms only start blowing up after you go far enough. Also averted in the seventh mission, despite Reigel urging Nova to complete it before Valerian finishes his speech. Apparently Valerian doesn't run out of stuff to talk about. |

Clear My Name: Nova has to do so as she's suspected of treason against the Dominion. At least, a certain admiral still trusts her. Valerian will also give Nova one chance to prove herself. Turns out she was tricked into committing treason against the Dominion, and she ended up joining the Defenders of Man under the impression that they were operating under the Dominion. To a lesser extent, Valerian himself. The Defenders of Man are out to make him look weak, ironically, by using the method his father used to destroy the Confederacy. |

Cliffhanger: Blizzard promised that each mission pack (consisting of 3 missions) will end with one. The first pack ends with Nova realizing that a Psi Emitter is luring zerg to a civilian world, as the estimated casualty count keeps rising. The second ends with Valerian abdicating the throne. The third ends with Nova and the crew of the Griffin seemingly going rogue, promising to take care of problems for the Dominion which require dirty deeds. Valerian and Horner, while not in on it, turn a blind eye, trusting Nova to do the right thing, for the time being. |

Developer's Foresight |
| | StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 |
comment |
Developer's Foresight: In the infiltration installation missions, killing enemies while undetected often causes them to react, either running away or running to investigate. Some will just turn to the spot the unit died, and some may have dialogue expressing surprise and concern. In the third mission, if you stray too close to the Zerg bases, you'll get reprimanded by Reigel to stay focused on the mission and not let nostalgia for Tarsonis carry Nova away trying to clean out the place. The seventh mission has a part where players need flashbangs to pass a sensor. If they don't have them, they can use the goggles they just picked up to mind control an enemy into blocking it. Likewise, the second half of the mission has several alternate routes based on your loadout along with a few spots to change your gear. |

The campaign deconstructs The Good King trope. Valerian finds out that even with him being an objectively better emperor than his father, there is still resistance to his rule, resistance that may one day need to be dealt with through overt violence. It's up to Nova to save his reputation. It seemingly got so bad that he abdicates the throne at the end of the sixth mission, but it turns out to be a ruse to capture the leader of the Defenders of Man. |

Plot Tailored to the Party: The mission where Nova gets a Jump Jet Pack is set in canyons, so she can exploit high ground to the fullest. The seventh mission has multiple routes to the objective as well as areas to change your gear so picking the wrong loadout doesn't fail you. |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Her Not So Stoic moment at the end of the third mission shows how dire the situation is. |

No Peripheral Vision |
| | StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops (Video Game) / int_f482730a |
comment |
No Peripheral Vision: Ghosts have large cones of detection, but they often rotate, letting Nova sneak past them. Less logical on turrets, whose cones rotate continuously. |

Mutually Exclusive Power-Ups |
| | StarCraft II: Nova Covert Ops (Video Game) / int_f53dd5eb |
comment |
Mutually Exclusive Power-Ups: Both Nova and her troops have them. Limited Loadout: Nova has four slots: helmet, suit, gadget and weapon, which means she, for example, can simultaneously have a shotgun (a weapon) and grenades (a gadget), but not a shotgun and a sniper rifle (two weapons). Inventory Management Puzzle: Her troops have only one slot, certain items can be used only by certain units and none of the items can be shared. |

Regenerating Shield, Static Health: If Nova is detected, her invisibility returns after a short (but very dangerous) while. Her health, however, regenerates slowly. |
