It specifically says when you're choosing between Tosh's mission and Nova's mission that Nova would not be staying with you, but that she would teach you how to train Ghosts. She's not on the ship -_-

Ya, not really, but if you look at the ghost equipment in the armory long enough she uncloaks sitting ontop of the weapon crates for a few seconds and then recloaks again. I doubt it means she's actually with him. It's more of an easter egg.

I remember a month or so ago getting placed against someone with the kerrigan portrait, and thinking it was the 1000 terran wins reward and crapping my pants...Then after winning the game I looked and realized the 1k reward was nova...They do look annoyingly similar, especially if you aren't expecting it. I went through all the campaign missions on brutal after that so I could do the same thing to other people.
Do or do not, there is no try

if you followed blizzards comments regarding kerrigan years back .. in SC:original, she was suppose to be a minor character .. like aldaris ..

So Kerrigan was planned to be a minor character in SC2? And yes I do know what you're talking about, though I think they said it was more along the lines of Kerrigan was thrown into the game rather late than she was planned to be a minor character. Before they even started making SC2 Kerrigan obviously wasn't meant to be a minor character, they should have had art planned for her looks early on, which I suppose means it's likely Nova being a look alike came second.

Weird ... I totally did not get that dialogue. Maybe it's because the game thought I was going to fail lol. I only had 1 or 2 tanks (no buildings or anything else) left when I hit 100%. Or maybe it was because Kerrigan was still active when I hit 100% ... maybe the dialogue is triggered by bringing her down the last time.

She was planned to be a minor throw away character originally in sc1. She was originally supposed to just die when she got left behind.

Yeah, a friend of mine was saying : I find it funny that Mohandar, Urun, etc... who are in a single mission all get their own custom portraits... but Kerrigan, who's arguably the most important character in SC in general, doesn't.

MAYBE THEY ARE UNIQUE! Possible spoilers!

Incoming soap-opera style story line where Nova is ... DUN DUN DUN ... Kerrigan's twin sister! They were separated at birth and due to the experiments during ghost training, Nova's hair turned blond!

OR

Incoming soap-opera style story line where Nova is ... DUN DUN DUN ... Kerrigan's younger sister! They were separated when Kerrigan was taken from her parents for ghost training. Nova was just a new born baby! But in the expansion, they are gonna team up and form the first FEMALE HUMAN ARCHON. OH YEAH, BABY!

OR

Incoming soap-opera style story line where Nova is ... DUN DUN DUN ... JIM AND KERRGIAN's DAUGHTER FROM THE FUTURE! She was sent back in time by Zeratul to save Jim and Kerrigan so that their unborn daughter would survive and be able to lead the resistance against the machines! Wait, I think that's been done somehow.

There was in-game dialogue during the All-in mission? I don't ever remember seeing that... could someone post a picture/screencap?


I don't have a picture, but kerrigan says, i'll scour you ALL from my world... I am tired of working through others, time to meet your demise! everytime she comes out to get you.

horner says: go nova, use the artifact.

warfield and tychus say hold the line and shes gone underground, keep the pressure on!

the adjutant warns you when air, nydus, or kerrigan is inbound.

I won't be surprised! They are both Ghosts, and I don't think any random human could be one, so it is possible that they are part of a family with Ghost powers. What difference that makes for the SC2 lore, I don't know, because Nova seemed more than willing to defect to Raynor's side even without a blood relation to Kerrigan.
Same difference is not an oxymoron!

Yes you need to kill Kerrigan in order to get the ending dialogue. Also my point was that Kerrigan was going to be a major character before they even began planning SC2 she shouldn't look like a minor character expect for some of the crazy theories already mentioned.

Kerrigan and Nova both have stories explaining what happened to their families so I don't see them being blood related though Blizzard could easily make some ridiculous way for them to still be related but it would probably need to involve some conspiracy. They're both extremely powerful psychics so they definitely have that in common and if they are somehow related it might mean Nova also has the potential to control the Zerg as even before being infested Kerrigan showed signs it was possible during the Confederate experiments. I seriously hope they're not related and doubt it, but the storytelling of WoL makes me afraid of what might be in store.

Minor spoiler here regarding Nova:

+ Show Spoiler +
After you have completed her mission, she stays on Raynors ship (and thus is probably on his side). Just read the text about ghosts in the armory long enough. Surely someone else must have seen this?


you did watch that cinematic right? shes about 6 light years away


Did you click on the sniper rifle in the armoury long enough? She's definitely on the ship with Raynor.
But it sucks major ass that you can't have her in the Cantina and talk to her after and before every mission like you could with Tosh.


Yeah, a fucking easter egg means she's definitely on the ship. What's next... Tauren and Murloc marines are for real? I can already imagine the plot - Terran, Protoss, Zerg, Murlocs and Tauren unite to defeat the Dark Voice!
I'll call Nada.

You do realize that there are still 2 whole campaigns left, right? I'm sure the protoss heroes still have a part to play in the future against the hybrid.. I think the campaign will just get better in the next installments.. Kind of like the LotR movies.. The terran missions were just a long tutorial..

The real travesty here is that Nova is the 1000 solo win icon for Terran. Every other race has something bad ass and Terran gets a prematurely graying girl who has appeared in one of the campaign missions...
