The ANNIC NOVA was tracked down by a group of adventurers in the Keng/Regina (Spinward Marches 2405) system.

ANNIC NOVA is a relic from an earlier time. The tech level of the vessel is not known, though a minimum of TL12 can be guessed at due to the jump capability of one of the two jump drives.

The ANNIC NOVA has no maneuver drive of its own, instead it uses pinnaces as tugs for limited maneuvering capability (0.1G). There are two jump drives onboard — one capable of jump-2 and the other j-3. There is no power plant, using a canopy which collects radiated stellar power and stores it in the accumulators on the drive deck. This canopy cannot be deployed during any maneuvering or when the vessel enters, exits or is within jumpspace. Though having six hardpoints, there are only two turrets mounted, each with one laser.

TAS released an initial report of an unknown vessel which had been seen, at a great distance, in several star systems. The information was sketchy as follows:
