Hey all! I am working on a mini campaign called Dark Origins. Its set about 3 years after Capella and things for the GTVA are not going so well, With the economic loss of Capella and the homing of the refugees has taken its toll and a group of backwater systems have banded together to form the Free System Confederation (names a WIP). They have come view the GTVA as corrupt as they seem to be more focused on the Sol Knossos and the core systems. You play as Jane Sheppard, a rookie joining the Dragon Knights all purpose squadron aboard the Orion GTD Aribeth. Where you must fight the FSC but is there something else going on and in the system N362 ships have started to vanish.
That's a rough outline, needs a lot of work. I have a goal of 10 missions, i doubt they will be anything as fancy as Wih as my fredding skills are pretty basic at the mo and i am still learning the new sexps. I am hoping it will be fun though :). There will be no Shivans but there influence will be felt. I have no idea at all when it will be released as i have a heavy RL workload with uni and work so this is being done in my spare time.
I have created a small trailer from the missions i have done so far but these are subject to change. Warning its a very flashy bang bang trailer. So enjoy

Mods i have used
Blue Planet
a re textured GTD Sirona( you don't see this ship in many mods, dunno why its a awesome ship)

That's a lot of action for a single video! :D

Cheers, well the 3 and half missions i have done so far are all pretty action heavy as i wanted the Sheppard to be in the front lines and take part in the biggest battles of the conflict i am doing. As the Dragon Knights wing, i am making it a unit that is able to gone in operations where the enemy outnumbers you but the squadron can turn that to there advantage, well its really an elite unit then

What was the music you used for the trailer?
-
Two Steps From Hell Fields Of Blood and freedom fighters are the tracks used in it

What's the ship at 1:31 - 1:32 firing blue beams? The Sirona?
-
Yip its Sirona, one of my favourite ship designs. It plays the part of the orion's replacement. I have always wondered why the Sirona isn't used much in mods, its a very good destroyer.
