Nova Squadron

Nova Squadron is numerically inferior to other wings of the Confederacy forces, but its units are well-trained, much like those of the Alpha Squadron. Its main purpose is to spy on other organizations, including other Terran Confederacy Squadrons. The Squadron's leader is Colonel Jackson Hauler and its game color is purple.

It seems the Nova Squadron played a small role in the action on Mar Sara, acting as an advance force for Alpha Squadron. Jim Raynor had to save Nova Squadron soldiers at Backwater Station.

Nova Squadron is next seen in a hidden map in StarCraft, which is generally not considered canon. Before activating the psi-emitters over Tarsonis, Arcturus Mengsk sent the Sons of Korhal down to the surface of Tarsonis in order to disrupt the ability of Nova Squadron, Delta Squadron and Omega Squadron to wage war. They were successful in this regard, but later Nova Squadron was able to escape, launching Nova Station into space.

However, Nova Squadron was eventually brought under the power of the Terran Dominion and is at least nominally under its control. It may control the remnants of Omega Squadron as well, as Hauler's insignia includes the symbol for Omega Squadron.
