The '''''ANNIC NOVA''''' has no [[maneuver drive]] of its own, instead it uses [[pinnace]]s 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.
