Trunt Harval

Trunt Harval is the Nivelian leader and the primary antagonist in the Supernova add-on.

He assumed political leadership at the same time the supernova event took place and was responsible for the supernova disaster, citing it as purgatory for the Mido Confederation's betrayal. Leading his personal squadron, the Black Guard, Trunt Harval ruled with terrorization, converting hostile refugees to pilots while actively sabotaging Supernova reversal efforts. Eventually, the Terrans and Deep Science gain the upper hand during the conflict, and Harval is killed by Keith T. Maxwell for his war crimes.

Trivia

 * He pilots the Scimitar and is the only enemy to do so.
 * His ship is weaker than the Specter used by the rest of Black Guard, as he usually does not participate in combat.
 * During the final battle with Keith T. Maxwell, he uses a variety of weapons such as T'Suums and Garuda-IVs. He, Qyrr Myfft, Heinrich Wickel, Malon Sentendar and Urr Sakant are the only NPCs who use secondary weapons against the player.
 * Unlike the other four, he is not a Most Wanted Criminal, though in some way he behaves just like one (Due to his ship becoming avaliable for sale when he is defeated).
 * This would mean either Jakk Zobbon does not only sell to Maxwell or Harval obtained the T'Suums elsewhere.
 * In the HD version of the game, Scimitar, Trunt Harval's weapon is very similar to the Disruptor Laser, though its damage is far superior, capable of depleting the Particle Shield in just a few shots. It is likely Harval is using a Nirai Overcharge.
 * Trunt sometimes uses the Dark Matter Laser in the fight with Keith due to a glitch. Since the NPC version of this weapon is heavily nerfed, this makes the fight easier.
 * Harval may become immune to EMP effects during the fight. However, this will only happen if he already took EMP damage and the glitch will despawn once the EMP damage wears off.
 * It's possible to get a huge stack of EMP GL DX and use them to stun-lock Harval, thus making the fight significantly easier, as he wouldn't even move an inch.
 * During the final battle, Harval's Nivelian insignia (if locked onto his ship) is gone. This could clarify that his signature has gone invalid and he has just become another pirate.
