Nova Corps

The Nova Corps are the intergalactic military/police force for the Nova Empire.

History
Presently, the Nova Corps have a base on the planet Xandar and many of its members are Xandarians. They control the prison facility known as the Kyln. They were at war with the Kree Empire for over 1,000 years. In 2014, a peace agreement was reached and rioting broke out throughout the Kree Empire.

Outraged by the peace agreement, a Kree named Ronan the Accuser made a pact with Thanos in order to exterminate Xandar, causing the Nova-Prime Irani Rael to call the Kree Ambassador asking for a testimonial from the Kree Empire condemning Ronan's murderous actions across the galaxy; the ambassador ignored her.

They defended Xandar on the Battle of Xandar. After the battle, the Guardians of the Galaxy entrusted the Orb to the Nova Corps, believing they were one of the few organizations that could be trusted not to use it. Nova Prime Irani Rael locked the Orb in a secure vault on Xandar.
