The **Novayan Forces**, also known as the **Novayan Expeditionary Force** or most commonly as **Novayans** or **Novaya**, were elements of the Novayan Armed Forces sent abroad to fight in the Middle East before being transported to Earth during the War of the Three Powers.

The Novayan Forces, depending on one of the three Red Alert 3 RPs, hail from a different Novaya: the Confederation of Novayan States or Novayan Confederation (Social Democracy [Left-wing Populism]) in the Allied route; the Novayan People's Union (Authoritarian Democracy [Stratocracy]) in the Soviet route; and the Greater Novayan Empire (Despotism [Civilian Dictatorship/Absolute Monarchy] or Fascism (Stratocratic Fascism/Reformed National Socialism/Third Positionism]) in the Imperial route. Regardless of routes, the Novayan Forces' units and structures were all the same.

Despite the name, the Novayan Forces consist of Novayan as well as Merdinan and other Armanyan units.

## History

Prior to its formation, Novaya has remain neutral in international politics but is the leader in space exploration and colonization. When the War in the Middle East severely impacted oil-consuming countries and causing a refugee crisis, Novaya, one of many nations that switched to alternate, renewable energy sources, is forced to deploy elements of the Novayan Armed Forces to intervene in the conflict and establish and expand neutral zones intended for the establishment of highly-maintained and self-sustainable refugee camps and protection of the refugees as well as taking control of or cooperating local governments to help in rebuilding homes, infrastructure and industries and housing more refugees.

The fourth wave of Novayan forces sent, under the direct command of Admiral Borealis Norsoutha III, is supposed to arrive at Oman via a few recently-build Chronospheres provided to the Novayans by the United North American States. Elements of the 3rd Novayan Naval Fleet, 1st Guards Panzergrenadier Division, 5th Marine Division, 12 Infantry Division, and Kampfgruppe Lehr Division were to be the first to use the Chronospheres. However, a number of malfunctions (later found to be acts of sabotage) would mis-chronoshift several units within the fourth wave to be misplaced somewhere in the galaxy, leading to the shutdown of Chronospheres and the investigation that resulted in several neo-luddites in being imprisoned or executed for treason.

### War of the Three Powers

Unknown to the rest of the Novayan public, the displaced Novayan forces would later appear on Earth.

## Military doctrine

The Novayan Military Doctrine centers on decisive action, mobility, electronic warfare, static warfare, and technological superiority. Novayan soldiers are highly-trained and highly-equipped, guided by intelligence, have at least some of the most advanced technologies, and supported by network-centric warfare.

Unlike Allied, Soviet and Imperial forces, Novayan units make heavy usage of digital and/or non-digital camouflage to make them more harder to kill. Novayan infantry lasts longer due to their body armors and helmets and infantry weapons. Armored vehicles like the Crusader II and Paladin tanks serve as the armored spearhead of any combat.

Novayan ground forces tend to be small in numbers but they make up for it with experience and skills as well as a variety of roles that were combat-related or not, making them superior to the Allies, Soviets and Imperials. Novayan ground units were also known to be masters of mobile warfare (offensive) and static warfare (defensive), and the doctrine of network-centric warfare would make them more problematic.

Novayan air forces, while also small, too have experience and skills in combat. Unlike Allied, Soviet and Imperial air units, Novayan air units use missiles to take down enemy aircraft and vehicles. The F-22C Raptor, Novaya's improvement of the original F-22A and F-22B Raptors, utilize instruments common in F-15s and F-16s.

Novayan naval forces, also small, have experienced and skilled naval personnel. The mainstay of the Novayan navy, the Destroyers, are guided-missile destroyers capable of engaging in anti-aircraft, anti-ship/submarine and anti-surface ballistic missiles. The Novayan Cruisers have anti-air capabilities while still retaining the features of the Destroyers. The Novayan Aircraft Carrier, unlike the Allied Aircraft Carrier, carried 60-90 aircraft

## Trivia

* By TV Tropes standards (more specifically, the standards of the trope A Commander Is You), the Novayan Forces faction is an elitist, generalist army with some specialized units thrown in.
* The Novayan Forces is based on the United States of America from the Command and Conquer: Generals: Zero Hour mod Rise of the Reds.
* Unlike the Allies, Soviets and Imperials, the Novayan Forces have a preference for modest, conservative attires:
	+ Novayan combat troops wore combat uniforms that have digital or non-digital camouflages and body armor vests and helmets.
	+ Novayan officers wore WWII-era German (more specifically, SS and Wehrmacht Heer) uniforms that lack Nazi symbols and flared-hipped breeches (due to ScarletMarines consider the latter as heresy). High-ranking officers above the rank of Captain wore BDUs when stationed abroad.
		- In the case of Borealis III, Ushanka, Pina and Wilhelmina Heinrike, they wore uniforms that are black with red lining. As for Staff Sergeant Scarlet, he wore a NOVMILPAT BDU, based on the PHILARPAT BDU worn by the Philippine Army.
* Unlilike the Allies, Soviets and Imperials, the Novayans demonstrate critical thinking in decision-making process that allowed them to respond to issues.

### Differences

* In the three different RA3 RPs, the Novayan Forces will have influenced the war depending on the decisions B3 made:
	+ In the Allied RP, the Novayans will have:
		- introduced Social Democracy, Authoritarain Democracy and Conservative Democracy;
		- insisted that the corporations and megacorporations be regulated to prevent the same mistakes that occur in the United North American States;
		- provided military equipment (infantry weapons) to Allied forces during the battle at Mount Rushmore;
		- through a Novayan assault team operating under Borealis III's command, captured President Ackerman when he tried to escape and would later be released and vindicated after the Soviet treachery in Cuba is revealed;
		- captured Emperor Yoshiro and the rest of Imperial High Command;
		- and assaulted Leningrad, where Premier Cherdenko revealed proto-nuclear weapons which slowly sends the Novayans into a heightened state of panic that turned to determination upon lieutenant colonel Yuri Ichigo and the British Special Air Service involved themselves to take out the proto-nukes on President Ackerman's orders.
	+ In the Soviet campaign, the Novayans will have:
		- introduced Social Democracy (Left-wing Populism), Authoritarian Democracy (Stratocracy) and Socialism (Democratic Socialism) on Admiral Borealis III's insistence;
		- provided military training to the Soviet forces;
		- Emperor Yoshiro and the rest of his family and officers become citizens of the future Japanese People's Union;
		- and established a few military administrations in the Eastern United States.
	+ In the Imperial RP, the Novayans will have:
		- introduced Despotism and Fascism;
		- captured Grigor Zelinsky;
		- and established a military administration in Virginia, Texas and Pennsylvania post-war.
* There exists a few differences between the Allied and Soviet routes and the Imperial route.
	+ In the Allied and Soviet routes, Admiral Borealis III will be a male.
	+ In the Imperial route, Admiral Borealis III is a female.
* Differences also exists between the three B3s:
	+ In the Allied route, Admiral Borealis III will be a Conservative Democrat (Liberal Conservative).
	+ In the Soviet route, Admiral Borealis III will be an Authoritarian Democrat (Stratocrat)
	+ In the Imperial route, Admiral Borealis III will be a Despot (Military Dictator) and Fascist (Third Positionist).
* The three Commanders in Red Alert 3 are different depending on the RP setting:
	+ In the Allied RP, the Allied Commander is Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Ichigo, who resembles Ichigo (albeit a 22-year-old one) from DARLINN in the FRANXX.
	+ In the Soviet RP, the Soviet Commander is Maria Ivanovich Aleksandr, whose alternate, appropriate name (on ScarletMarines' part) is Maria Ivanovna Aleksandrova, and is the beloved youngest daughter of General Nikita Ivanovich Aleksandr.
	+ In the Imperial RP, the Imperial Commander is [NAME FORGOTTEN] Ichigo, the brother of Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Ichigo.
