Nova Navy is a group formed of independent pilots dedicated to supporting [[Hadrian Augustus Duval]], a long-lost member of the Imperial royal bloodline. The group is headquartered in the Dyson City station within the [[Paresa]] system, where it works alongside the [[Nova Paresa]] organisation (formerly known as Nova Imperium) to provide safe haven for Hadrian's supporters.

In 3305, the Empire began a coordinated massacre of Nova Imperium members. [[Kaeso Mordanticus]], the prior leader of Nova Imperium, was captured and executed within the Imperial Senate alongside several Senators who had supported his cause<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5c485c99128401188a499c82 GalNet: Blood on the Senate Floor]</ref>. In addition to the Empire-wide executions of Nova members, any who had given them assistance were arrested for treason<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5c485cf6d5465145571d1c84 GalNet: The Fall of Nova Imperium]</ref>. Hadrian Duval and the survivors of the purge were forced into hiding in the Paresa system, where he broadcast a call for assistance to the galactic community<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5c52c4a1231ede6f495e2c75 GalNet: The New Imperator]</ref>.

Nova Navy was formed in response, with the goal of protecting Hadrian Duval and Nova Imperium from the ongoing purge. With the aid of the Nova Navy, Hadrian Duval and his supporters were able to reverse their fortunes, the scattered survivors of the purge coming together to take control of the Paresa system among many others. The Empire finally reversed its position in 3307, granting royal pardons to Hadrian and his supporters, ending the purge<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5fb276ef5e72e1297815e02b GalNet: Emperor Decides Hadrian Duval's Status]</ref>. Nova Paresa now controls over 35 star systems, with a population of nearly 90 billion citizens.

Following the legitimisation of Nova Imperium, the Nova Navy continues to work to consolidate Hadrian's powerbase and to guard against future threats - notably, the attempted assassinations<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/5f97f9849a83e84ad16bff6d GalNet: Terrorist Hit Squad Targets Hadrian Duval]</ref><ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/61681c52c9c5cc09eb144690 GalNet: Terrorist Attack at Hadrian Duval's HQ]</ref> by the [[Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army]], the attempt to frame Hadrian as their leader<ref> [https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/60894dbc996a513c643a93b5 GalNet: Hadrian Duval Refutes NMLA Allegations]</ref>, and the [https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/6093ea1db89a2676e6791a4b subsequent attack] from the Federation.
