However, this particular ship was different from other Shivan craft, easily outclassing the SD Ravana or even the SD Lucifer in size and power. Thankfully, the evac shuttle got away safely.Īfter the encounter in the Nebula, many Shivan conflicts followed.Īfter many skirmishes with the Shivans, a Vasudan task force had discovered yet another Shivan warship. Suddenly, a huge Shivan attack group appeared and destroyed the Trinity. It identified itself as the NTC Trinity, and after several short negotiations, the Aquitaine agreed to send in a transport to resque the Trinity's crew. After taking out the fighters, they had found a damaged GTC Fenris nearby. Shortly after this, Alpha Wing and Zeta Wing encountered a wing of Shivan Manticores. At the first SitRep, Kappa Wing did not report in which deeply disturbed the recon team. The 107th Ravens deployed fighter wings Alpha, Gamma, Iota, Kappa and Zeta to explore the Nebula. They had found a huge nebula, possibly the remains of a supernova. After securing the Knossos, the GTVA sent their flagship, the GTD Aquitaine, to investigate what lay on the other side of the portal. Several new Shivan craft were identified here, such as the SF Mara and the SC Rakshasa.

They had arrived in the system via a massive Subspace Portal created by the Ancients(dubbed Knossos by the GTVA). They were first found in the Gamma Draconis system. The Shivans had returned, ready to face their age-old foes with a vengeance. Thirty-two years after the end of the Great War, after several skirmishes against the Neo-Terran Front rebellion, a shocking discovery was made by the GTVA. However, while victorious, they had paid a heavy price, for the Lucifer's death had destroyed the Jump Node to Sol, cutting off humanity from Earth.

The Lucifer's destruction had sent the Shivans into full retreat, virtually disappearing from GTVA space. An anonymous fighter pilot attacked the Lucifer as it moved into Subspace, ultimately destroying the mighty ship. A desperate attack was launched on the Lucifer near the Sol Jump Node. Upon this, they had found that the Lucifer had moved to the Delta Serpentis system, upon the periphery of the Terran home system, Sol. They had learned that the SD Lucifer was only vulnerable when it is in Subspace. However, a discovery was made at the ruins of a race called the Ancients, who had been exterminated by the Shivans many many years ago.

They knew that the Lucifer possessed nigh-impenetrable shields that they could not breach. By this point, the Terrans and Vasudans put aside their differences and joined together against the Shivans as the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance. The Lucifer was the most powerful Shivan warship of its kind, examplified with the Lucifer sterilizing the Vasudan homeworld, Vasuda Prime, with a devastating orbital bombardment (a la the Protoss). After capturing a Shivan craft, the SC Taranis, the Shivan flagship SD Lucifer appeared and destroyed the cruiser. Their ship technology was superior to those of the Terrans and Vasudans, placing them at a disadvantage. The Nebula beyond Gamma Draconis is also supported, lending itself to a completly foreign, unique nebular enviornment.In the later days of the Terran-Vasudan War, Shivan warships began to appear and lay waste to Terran and Vasudan worlds. Maps can be randomly generated, with a variety of asteroid fields, cargo depots, subspace nodes, and sentry guns. Specific armor types and countering systems make proper selection of craft essential, and ships take time to be able to make subspace jumps again- making any subspace jump a considerable tactical decision.įleet Command can be played in Deathmatch format, as well as a 'Total War' style Fleet Battle mode, as well as a 'horde' Gauntlet mode. Every combat craft from both Freespace games are included and they are armed with an array of different lasers, missiles, beam cannons, and turrets. Launch anti-subsystem missiles from long range to knock out enemy systems, or use EMP missiles to disable your opponent’s warships. Play as Terran, Vasudan, or Shivan commanders during the Second Shivan incursion or the Great War and conquer your enemies using fighters, bombers, cruisers, and other weapons of war. Fleet Command is the ULTIMATE Freespace Real Time Strategy experience.
