N.O.V.A. 3: Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance

N.O.V.A. 3: Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance — Former commander of N.O.V.A. Cal Warden receives a distress call from his AI friend Elena from the abandoned planet Earth. Cal crash lands in the city of San Francisco and joins Sergeant Becker and his N.O.V.A. squad to fight their way back to the N.O.V.A. base while disabling the signal jammer. The wounded Volterite detonates a bomb, which throws the protagonist out of the building. Helping him up, Sergeant Becker and his team learn of his acts of heroism in the events at N.O.V.A. 2. After repairs, he continues moving towards the base. At the base, Cal learns that N.O.V.A. stole the Judge's artifact, which can turn Earth back into a habitable planet. But the Judges were not people to play with, and, knowing this, Cal vows that after rescuing the Judge's artifact from the hands of the notorious Volterites, he will leave N.O.V.A., and this time for good.
