Information:

The Nova-class were Earth Force's biggest and most powerful ships during the Minbari War, but still much inferior to Minbari ships. Since then this class of ships have been refitted and more built. The newer Omega-class design was based on the Nova-class to save development costs. This class is seems heavily armed, and mostly provide support for combat units. These ships are probably capable of some level of planetary bombardment. Like the Omega-class, these ships can also open up their own jump-points.
