The short answer
Nova: Market for Platinum, or Circuit tier 10. Farm the Raptors on Naamah; it is a short drone fight, so runs are quick. Nova Prime: Nova Prime is vaulted; Prime Resurgence or trading only.
Reviewed September 10, 2026, current through Update 43.5. Iceblade of Narin lands September 23 and is not reflected yet; acquisition is re-checked after every major patch.
