Bova

Ship: Bova
Class: Minerva-class
Builder: Metis
Summary:
The Bova is a Minerva-class vessel built on Metis as part of the post-Gelt Incursion fleet—a new generation of ships standardized across core worlds following the twin invasions of 429 IE. Designed with the sleek, wedge-shaped profile of the broader Germanicus/Prometheus-class lineage, the Bova emphasizes stealth, efficiency, and self-sufficiency for deep-space operations. It plays a key role in 432 IE, ferrying Suicide and the injured Jayne Best from Farigha to the remote world of Thule using preserved navigational data from the now-defunct Yaphit Pass. Quietly operated under Metisian authority, the Bova reflects the Republic’s commitment to maintaining long-range capability even in a fractured Compact.
