The Psychers are the main soldiers for the Volterite army. Their armor allows them to turn invisible for short periods of time, and they are able to throw objects in the environment at Kal using their telekinetic abilities. In addition to this, they can also shoot energy projectiles from their hands. In game they fire ring shots but in the opening cutscene they are seen using electro balls

Troopers are heavily armored Volterites that use mounted weapons to fight their enemies. Fortunatly, they are very slow, and can be brought down with two point-blank shotgun blasts. They fire two blasts of green plasma from mounted cannons near their heads and can shoot weaker red plasma from their arms

Cybertooths are cybernetic cat-type enemies. Their only attack is running then jumping and slashing at Kal, so shotguns are the most effective weapon against them. During N.O.V.A. 2's final mission, Inner Hell, Kal defeats a gigantic Cybertooth by paralyzing it and assaulting it with rockets.
Skull Crushers are heavily armored Volterites that run and attack either with short range blade attacks, or by throwing sharpened blades. The player is able to use a Skull Crusher disk after the game's second level as a Melee attack.
Volterite Overseer
Military leaders
The Overseer is the leader of the Volterites. He appears to be nothing but a Volterite Psycher with golden armor. Unlike the psychers, the Overseer posseses mind control abilities. He makes deals with President Gerard Folsom to form the Human-Volterite alliance, giving Volterite technology to Folsom to help his troops defeat those of N.O.V.A.. He is assassinated by Kal Wardin.
The Overseer successor is killed by Maz' Rah on Volteron after he attempts to manipulate Maz' Rah into killing Kal Wardin. Maz' Rah, enraged by the Overseer's threatening to execute his rebellion allies unless he kills Kal, at the last moment asks Kal for forgiveness, then lunges at the Overseer with a concealed sword, wounding him fatally.
Being the president of the Ceresian Republic, he speaks destiny among the stars and how the Volterites will provide for them as well as other things. Succeeding in brainwashing many outer colonies to join the Volterite cause, he ultimately met his end at the hands of Kal Wardin.
