The Nova-class starship is a type of Aligned Planets vessel currently in service. It is designed primarily as a science and scout vessel, used for long-term research and analysis after a region has been surveyed by larger explorer-type vessels.
The Nova design is a relatively moderate one; the ship is capable of Warp 8.32, and its weaponry comprises to multiple phasers and torpedo launchers.
One unique feature of the Nova is its Waverider shuttlecraft, an advanced atmospheric transport optimized for planetary surveys. This shuttlecraft is mounted on a special docking port on the dorsal side of the primary hull.

We have two such vessels for sale; we are currently in the process of upgrading our Fleet and we do not require these ships at present. We were going to send them to the Scrapyard, but if we can sell them - all the better.
The two in question are the FNV Easter Island and the FNV Solstice; we are selling each one for $3,500,000,000.00
Thank you
OOC - I would like to credit Star Trek Australia with the above image, and the Star Trek Encyclopaedia with the information. As a Nation (both with future and modern tech parts, who don't interact (!)) we are modelled after the UFP and as such have similar vessels.
