HistoryEdit

Zan Philo and his ship, Resolute Duty, was accidentally flung from his own universe to an entirely different one due to a stargate accident. He attempted to return home but failed multiple times. So he decided to carry on his Nova Corps duties, bringing order to the lawless worlds. Thirty-five years later, he had captured a Neutron Slave boss, before being tailed by Mindless Ones. By 2009, a massive space-time tear called the Fault was opened, allowing Philo to return to his own universe, where Nu-Xandar, in place of Ego the Living Planet, had detected. Philo reconnected with the restored Corps under Nova Prime Richard Rider and agreed to train the probationers to bring the Corps back its former glory.
