The Galactic Nova Pack is a hidden pack of items named after the developer Novaseer. The pack, unlike most other packs, does not award Plasma.
How to Obtain
Prior to the Hyperspace Pioneers update, the pack could not be found in the shop menu until the Novarium Stabilisation Crucible was obtained by the player, preventing its purchase. This also required the player to get at least one Inert Novarium Concentrator Depot for the Inert Novarium, meaning they may need 2 or more separate Galactic Nova Packs to buy more packs, since both items inhabit the same item slot in the card table. The two ways you could obtain this pack in this period were through Codes and in the 2017 edition of the Maniacal Pumpkin Pack at a 16.67% chance. However, this was taken out in the 2018 edition of the Maniacal Pumpkin Pack, before getting readded to the 2020 edition. This means there used to be no feasible way of obtaining the pack, unless you already have the necessary items to create Novarium.
Galactic Nova Packs are now able to be obtained through codes that give random gifts (which include the possibility of obtaining these packs), since the beginning of 2019. This also means you may not get any Galactic Nova Packs at all, if the game decides that you get other packs instead.
As of April 2019, it has been proven that the Maniacal Pumpkin Packs accessible using the Squash Deployer still can award this pack with a 16.67% chance.
As of Nova-day of 2020, the Galactic Nova Pack's requirements have been heavily 'nerfed', now only needing 150k plasma, and both Novarium Stabilisation Crucible and Inert Novarium Concentrator Depot are purchasable from shop! You also no longer need either of said items to see it in shop.

Trivia
- All exclusive items in this pack have power consumption in base 2, although this is often hard to notice due to how large the numbers are.
- This is the second of three packs to have access to another pack's drop table. The others are the Diamond Pack and Hyperspace Pioneers Pack.
- This is the only pack that is able to be awarded in another pack.
- This is also the third least common pack which has ever been obtained, only being beaten by the Hyperspace Pioneers Pack which requires 40 Galactic Nova Insignias and Twitter Pack which has no real cost but can only be obtained via codes.
- On 11/20/18, the Novarium Refraction Refiner and Novarium Reactor were said to be removed from the pack. However, the Novarium Refraction Refiner was discovered to still be obtainable at a 0.17% chance. In addition, the Novarium Reactor was discoverable at a 0.05% (1/2000) chance until its chance was buffed to 0.1% (1/1000) in the update adding the Hyperspace Pioneers Pack.
