Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, kind of is a half half...
Is this correct to say ?
Star Commander = Nova Commander, for example
As in Mechwarrior 2, all "Nova" ranks were portrayed to be more prestigious and worth it (ToP phase 2), than all the "Star" ranks.
Was this just done for the game ? As thinking about it in cannon and novels, does not a plain "Star Commander" command the star, regardless of what it is made up from
Also I have not seen the terminology used in novels ie: "Nova Colonel Thastus has sent word, begin immediate re-enforcement of our tank points to the Spaceport walls"
So just "word candy" for the game ?
