The '''NOVA bomb''' is a [[nuclear weapon|nuclear explosive device]] used by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. Described as "planet killers", NOVAs contain a very high-yield combination of nine nuclear fusion warheads, the explosive power of which is harnessed to compress additional [[Wikipedia:lithium|lithium]] triteride fusionable material to astronomical densities and magnify the overall blast to titanic proportions.<ref name="fs19">'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''Chapter 19''</ref> It is quite possibly the most destructive weapon utilized by either side in the [[Human-Covenant War]].
