The Nyx is a gigantic homage to a figure much loved in Gallente society. The ship's design is based on the scepter of Doule dos Rouvenor III, the king who, during his peaceful 36-year reign, was credited with laying the foundation for the technologically and socially progressive ideologies which have pervaded Gallente thought in the millennia since. Indeed, the Nyx itself is emblematic of the Gallenteans' love for progress; packed to the ergonomic brim with the latest in cutting-edge advancements, it is a proud reminder of the things that make the Federation what it is.

Summary
The Nyx is the Gallente supercarrier. With a damage bonus to fighters and fighter-bombers of the Hel but with two more low slots for damage or maneuverability, it is immensely popular among null-sec and low-sec alliances. This makes it a common sight in null-sec supercapital fleets.
Skills
Due to skill bonuses, it's recommended to have Gallente Carrier trained to at least III, and getting IV/V could be high priority for any Nyx pilot.
Tactics
No sub-article about Nyx roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.
Notes
In Greek mythology, Nyx was the goddess of night, consort of Erebus, and mother of Thanatos, Moros, and Nemesis, among others.
Increased the Supercarrier Armor Plate and Shield Extender role bonus to 400% (from 200%).
Version 18.11 - Build: 1842315 - 2020-11-10.1 - "Dynamic Frontiers" / "Vat Out of Hel" Update (Patch Notes)
As part of the Phoenix Quadrant, a big update to Supercarriers is coming to EVE Online on 10 November, introducing the new Tactical Capsuleer Recloner, stunning new visuals, and added ship balance for these behemoths of New Eden! - CCP Convict, Vat Out of Hel news article
Increased Supercarrier Ship Maintenance Bay capacity from 2,500,000 m³ to 5,000,000 m³ (+2,500,000 m³, +100%)
There is a vision for a Capital ecosystem with clear escalation steps based on distinct roles for each class. Part of that vision relies on moving Super Carriers and Titans away from all-purpose damage to a specific focus on Capital and structure killing. You will have seen one big step in this direction recently with the removal of High Angle Weapons from Titans. Now, substantial changes are being made to Super Carriers as well, but there is also an acknowledgement that Super Carriers need more to set them apart from Titans and Dreadnaughts as Capital killers before their Subcapital damage application can be fully removed. For now, their fighter tube loadout will be rearranged to promote more class diversity in your local Super umbrella and decrease long range Heavy Fighter damage application. -Surgical Strike Dev Blog
Support fighter tubes removed (could previously have up to two support fighter squads active)
Heavy fighter squadron limit increased from 3 to 4 (+1)
Bonus to Armor Plates and Shield Extenders reduced from 400% to 200% (-200%)
