Plot

The campaign takes place a few years after the epilogue of Legacy of the Void. Nova Terra, along with her fellow Terran Dominion ghosts Stone, Delta Emblock, and Theodore Pierce had all been captured by an organization called the Defenders of Man. They manage to escape the compound they were being held in, but Nova gets split up from her fellow ghosts. After escaping Sharpsburg, she is detained by Terran Dominion forces and taken to the planet of Borea. It is there that she meets up with Admiral Matt Horner. He tells her that she had gone missing in action, says there was evidence showing she was working with the Defenders of Man, and that she is wanted for treason. Horner was skeptical of the accusations however and so after the base is assaulted by feral zerg and Horner asks Nova to aid them. Nova does and the base manages to survive till the Terran Dominion fleet arrives, however it wasn't the Terran Dominion fleet that arrives to save them, it is the Defenders of Man fleet.

Matt and Nova escape and meet up with Emperor Valerian Mengsk. Valerian meets with Nova, and gives her a new command ship, as well as her own Covert Ops Crew. He also puts a new weapons and technology specialist, Reigel, under her command, who attempts to reactivate the memories she had lost while working for the Defenders of Man. The device shows her the ruins of her home Tarsonis. Terra, Reigel and her Covert Ops Crew head to Tarsonis. After securing the perimeter, Nova infiltrated the Defenders of Man base. The Defenders of Man notice her, and activate a psi emitter in their own base. Nova continues further, and discovers that the Defenders of Man were luring zerg to civilian worlds to discredit Emperor Valerian Mengsk, and were now planning to have a civilian world destroyed to prove the new regime's weakness.
