Nova Communications

Nova Comm (for short), headquartered in Freedom City, but with offices in Emerald City, possesses one of the country’s largest cellular communication networks. Stores and kiosks with its familiar sunburst symbol are common throughout any city and sell many different models of cellular phones sporting nearly every imaginable feature. The company’s digital network already extends nationwide and continues to expand—part of the “Nova Communications explosion,” as the ads say.

Structure

Naomi Sinclair, the President of Nova Communications, is a savvy businesswoman who joined the company on the promise of increasing its market share. She has followed through on her promise and then some, quite pleasing the board of directors.
Sinclair’s success included Emerald City, at least until the Silver Storm. During the crisis, Nova Comm’s local network was overwhelmed—as any in the world would have been under the circumstances—and left many panicked city residents with nothing but an unsympathetic prerecorded voice. The technical reality plus the fact the Homeland Security Department would’ve disabled the network in any event (to prevent cell-phone detonated bombs) has done little to assuage many angry, irrational customers.
As a result, Sinclair has allocated considerable sums towards repairing the public relations damage and developing new technology to prevent a reoccurrence. The latter is an exceptionally bold move, and the research and development resources involved are major targets for Emerald City’s supervillains and Nova Comm’s greedy and less scrupulous competitors.
Sinclair, a raven-haired woman of Greek and English descent, spends much of her time on the go handling company business. She lives in a condo in downtown Freedom City and always has her smartphone close at hand.
