Gathering of Grand Death[2]
Celenova is a Lord Ravager of the Antimatter Legion and an Emanator of Nanook, the Aeon of Destruction.[2]
Description[]
Unlike her mysterious peers, Celenova's origin is known: Nanook personally ignited a world of harmony and elevated her from the ashes of the Eternal Centurion.
She is deemed the destroyer of Harmony, leading the Antimatter Legion and commanding Voidrangers and starships in vast, coordinated campaigns. For eons, she has followed the path of the "Cancer of All Worlds," spinning a web of death across the stars. Some say she alone among the Lord Ravagers knows the truth of the Stellarons — or worse, that she's the one planting them.Profile[]
According to the List of Archenemies, Celenova is the frontline general of Nanook.[4] She leads the Antimatter Legion and commands countless Voidrangers and starships to battle in concert. Wherever Stellarons have erupted, Celenova has followed, weaving a web of death. Rumor has it that among all the Lord Ravagers, only Celenova understands the secret behind the Stellarons, or that she herself is the one who spreads them. She targets powerless civilizations whose prayers are heard by the Family, destroying both those who sought help as well as their enemies equally.[2]
Appearance[]

Celenova appears as a pale skinned humanoid woman with long white hair tied in several ponytails. She wears a white sleeveless bodysuit and collared short dress under priest-like robes and a mantle that she loosely drapes behind her by their sleeves. Her robes extend out into several lengthy ribbons with rectangular protrusions at the edges and she has a golden claw-like accessory on her right hand. Two halos resembling planetary rings also surround her with a larger halo covering her eyes and a smaller one hanging around her shins.
History[]
Celenova was originally a human being.[1] Sometime ago, Nanook personally destroyed a world of the Harmony, and from the ashes of Aelenev, the Eternal Centurion, she ascended.[2] Celenova became a Lord Ravager, replacing the deceased Zulo.[5]
Celenova's troops are spread across the galaxy and have come into conflict with multiple Xianzhou Alliance ships: the Yaoqing, Zhuming, and Fanghu. She requested a ceasefire with the Xianzhou Zhuming around Year 5700 of the Star Calendar, requesting a combined attack on the homeworld of the wingweavers.[4]

Traces of Celenova would appear at the edges of the Sedounirama Star Cluster. In response to the threat, the six worlds of the Star Cluster would form an alliance, launching a counterattack.[6] Her forces were later observed retreating from the star cluster by the Xianzhou Yaoqing, leading to Feixiao and Jiaoqiu speculating as to whether it was a trap or if she was carrying out a priority order.[7]
Abilities[]
Celenova's Fleet.
In fleet battles, Celenova is one of the most fearsome opponents. Even common Voidrangers cause terrible destruction under her command. Surviving captains report her fleets show uncanny coordination, meshing like perfect gears, even executing theoretical tactics — considering communication delays and troop morale, IPC fleets could never achieve such precise cooperation.
Recent cases show Celenova possesses intergalactic command abilities, potentially intervening even in frigate-level encounters. When facing Legion forces under Celenova, units must first determine if she or her avatar is aboard the flagship and if so, should prioritize decapitation strikes — though this won't eliminate her permanently, it temporarily disrupts her command. If not, focus on intercepting approaching Blitz ships and prepare for retreat.[8]
