NOVEX
NOVEX is designated as a terrorist organization by Unitas Consortium and its Affiliate Prefectures, and therefore cannot have any relationship with GuardCorps franchises. However, many Pact-associated intelligence bodies have discovered that NOVEX has handshake contracts with various GuardCorps formations to offer specialized training in demolition, cutting-edge explosives, and chemical weapons.
NOVEX’s signature explosive utilizes a combination of shaped charges, polygonal explosive lenses, and incendiary components that burn at extremely high temperatures, culminating in a device that relies more on melting or burning the structure of the target rather than a powerful shockwave. NOVEX has been known to provide blueprints for adapting common devices, such as the standard issue Type 7 Clamp Charge, to utilize this signature style.
In addition to adapting existing explosive devices or building new ones, NOVEX members have been recorded training militias, crime syndicates, and GuardCorps units in advanced demolition methods, including identifying a structure’s materials and weak points, optimal placement of charges, and remote detonation. More concerningly for Pact allies, various intelligence agencies have observed NOVEX instructing various units on how to “booby-trap” military and civilian structures upon retreating, often using anti-personnel mines and incendiaries to cause a chain of secondary explosions designed to inflict maximum casualties.
