Escape Velocity: Nova

Escape Velocity: Nova is a shareware program developed by ATMOS Software. The third in the Escape Velocity series, Nova presents the same universe full of Hypergates, but the central government of Earth has collapsed. Isolated systems were forced to develop their own civilizations, and they developed in radically different directions. Now these civilizations are making contact with each other again, and discovering that they have little or nothing in common. Players must choose to support unification, or war, or peaceful coexistence.
