“	I want our Nivelian compatriots separated and sent to the repatriation camps . Soon we will have them back on our side, marching to the front lines, swelling your ranks.	”
–Trunt Harval to the commander after gathering some Mido refugees from the Ginoya system.

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.
  • As an NPC, his Scimitar is definitely stronger than the rest of the Black Guard. The usable version is weaker than the Specter, as he usually does not participate in combat. Indeed, Harval is only properly fought once in the story, whereas the Black Guard make numerous appearences.
• 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, the fight ends up easier than usual.
• Harval may become immune to EMP effects during the fight even after taking EMP damage until it degrades completely. However, this will only happen if he already took EMP damage.
  • 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, if locked on, does not display his Nevilian signature per usual.
