Description from IGDB IGDB

Tension has spread throughout the Dominion as Emperor Valerian struggles to address a resurgence in zerg attacks. Civilian fears have led to the formation of the Defenders of Man, a group claiming to preserve the safety of humanity. Meanwhile, a number of Dominion Ghosts—highly-trained psionic assassins—have gone missing, and Nova Terra, the deadliest Ghost of all, is among them. Nova Covert Ops is a new single-player campaign that’ll take you inside the web of intrigue surrounding StarCraft’s enigmatic—and feared—shadow operatives. In nine action-strategy missions spanning three mission packs, you’ll play as Nova Terra, the Dominion’s most powerful Ghost, and undertake assignments that are as dangerous as they are vital to the survival of the Dominion: infiltrating enemy bases, intercepting planetary invasions, helming experimental stealth ships, and other top-secret operations.

Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA

The gameplay of Nova Covert Ops retains the same general gameplay as the base game. The game is focused around the hero unit of Nova, similar to Kerrigan in StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. As a hero unit she is given unique abilities and improved characteristics. More choice is present in Nova's customisation, in comparison to the more diverse and cumulative paths of Kerrigan. Nova is given generally greater durability, damage and abilities than other units. New technology and weaponry are available for Nova and other units to unlock, although these are sometimes unlocked automatically or after enough missions. Equipment and research must be chosen over others in the same slot between missions. However, Nova cannot acquire levels like Kerrigan, and her abilities are determined by equipment choices. In only some areas of the mission pack is Nova the sole unit to be controlled. The mission pack places a greater emphasis on tactics but retains the base building and resource collection mechanics of StarCraft. In missions with base-building elements, Nova may die and respawn after enough time has passed. In missions without base elements however, Nova's death will cause the player's defeat. Missions, like those in previous StarCraft II campaigns, are meant to avoid the build and destroy design seen in the first StarCraft's missions. Stealth and platforming elements are present in missions. In line with the add-on nature of the mission pack, it is smaller in scale than the predecessor campaigns. The campaign is linear, and inter-mission content restricted to non-interactive cutscenes and static UI. Units are automatically unlocked, although upgrades to Nova and other units are contingent on discoveries during gameplay or completion of secondary objectives. However, some of the features from the previous campaigns of StarCraft II remain; more than the first StarCraft's inter-mission content being cutscenes and briefing rooms.
