It is 2334, and the Terran-Vasudan War rages on. The PVE is preparing to launch a major offensive in the Antares system, and as a new pilot within the GTI ranks, you are tasked with assessing and containing this threat. Little do you know, greater schemes are unfolding in the shadows, as traitors conspire to end the war on their own terms.

Personal note from the author:
After disappearing from the FreeSpace community for over 10 years without a word, it wouldn't be fair to return empty-handed. So, I present to you The Sixth Seal: my personal love letter to FreeSpace 1 and Silent Threat: Reborn. I hope you'll have as much fun playing it as I did creating it.

For now, it's integral, but I can push an update with alternate missions containing simple message beeps if enough people request such a feature. In the meantime, you can also mute voices in the game settings. However, the initial feedback on Discord was positive, as I put some effort into making sure those voice lines sound good, so just try TSS as it is :)

You could create a separate "voice" package in Knossos and move all the voice files into that.  Then you could mark the package as Recommended but not Required.  You wouldn't need to modify the missions.
