[edit] Plot

Ghost Academy will serve as a sequel to StarCraft: Ghost: Nova, and coincides with chapters 18 and 19,[11] just prior to Nova's first mission.[3] The graphic novel will be followed by StarCraft: Ghost: Spectres, a print novel.[11]

It will also tie-in with StarCraft: Frontline: Volume 3 and Volume 4 stories featuring Colin Phash.[12]

Nova and Tychus Findlay, a key character from StarCraft II,[13] will be among the marine and ghost cadets, pitting Nova in some "privacy situations."[14][7] The storyline focuses on Ghost Academy teens, struggling with both everyday problems and the challenges of becoming a ghost.[15]

Though still in training, the ghost trainees do go on missions, such as rescuing hostages.[10]
