The mission was successful in capturing Steiner (who had contacted Dragovich to cut a deal for his own life) and the stockpile of the gas on board. In October 1945, after Kravchenko and Dragovich learned of the project's existence from Dragovich's interrogation of German prisoners-of-war, they begin to search for the freighter. By the time the work was completed, Berlin had fallen and the war in Europe had ended, making an Allied attack inevitable. In actuality, the SS survivors tried to salvage what they could from the ship, and then rigged the ship with scuttling charges to prevent capture by the Allies.

Officially, MI6 claimed the freighter was sunk under the direct order of attack and the shipwreck was locked in the Arctic ice. Subsequently the compounds were transported along the Elbe River to a freighter in the North Sea. World War IIĭevelopment began in January 1944 under the leadership of Friedrich Steiner, and by 1945, weaponized samples had been produced in sufficient numbers to arm at least a battery of V2 and the experimental V3 rockets.Īccording to reports made by MI6 at that time, the original Nova 6 test site located outside the municipality of Poland was destroyed by heavy bombing. Project Nova itself is also mentioned in Call of Duty: Vanguard.Īccording to a microfiche in " Payback", Nova 6 contains neodymium, rhenium and sulfur.Ī periodic table showing three elements present (neodymium, rhenium, and sulfur). Nova 6 also appears in Call of Duty Online as a form of currency.

In the final ambiguous mission of the campaign " Life", it also appears to be the cause of death of Rachel Kane after being tricked by Corvus. Due to an incident in a laboratory deep beneath the earth, possibly from the birth of the AI virus Corvus, trace amounts were accidentally released into urban Singapore, enough to rapidly cause hundreds of thousands of deaths and creating a permanent quarantine zone in what would become the worst unexplained industrial disaster in history. Preventing its release is one of the primary aims of Alex Mason and the CIA in the 1960s.īefore the events of Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Nova 6 was being secretly manufactured by Coalescence Corporation, on behalf of the CIA Black Project named SP/CORVUS. It was later seized, refined, and used by the Soviets, as a component of a grand Soviet sleeper-cell plan by Dragovich.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops, Nova 6 was originally developed by Nazi Germany during the course of World War II by Friedrich Steiner and intended for use in V-2 rockets targeted at major capital cities, such as Washington, D.C. Nova 6 is a biochemical weapon developed by Nazi, Soviet, and Coalescence scientists in Call of Duty: Black Ops continuity. " Ever heard of Nova 6? It's a chemical agent that came dangerously close to being used in World War II. For the multiplayer tactical grenade, see Nova Gas.
