Ladies and gentlemen, I present...
Deus Ex MachinaA FreeSpace 2 CampaignStoryYou're a new recruit to the NTF, and you've come at a crucial time for the survival of the rebellion. GTVA attacks have been severely damaging morale. Pilots are frustrated. Wingmen are dying. It's up to you, Alpha 1, to save the day again.
Your squadron, the 47th Red Shirts, has been called in on a mission of utmost importance. Allied raiding parties have seized several shipments of Bosch Beer, and the Bosch shipping lanes are in danger of falling to GTVA control. The Admiral wants the shipping lanes secured at all costs.
Your job won't be easy, pilot. Command bureaucracy, continuity glitches, and impossible mission goals abound. Your wingmen are incompetent. Your fighter is a piece of junk. And, as usual, you're the only pilot who uses his own brain. Are you up to the challenge?
Features- Encounter the Colossus, the Sathanas, AND the Lucifer all in the same campaign!
- Watch Allied Command reach a landmark new level of stupidity!
- See Alpha 1's wingmen all die in the first 30 seconds!
- Witness when ETAK first goes on-line!
- Meet the mission designer face to face!
- Plot holes!
- Surprises!
- And much, much more!
This campaign is more or less a parody of Freespace. I got a good deal of inspiration from the forums here, especially from the Aeolus thread a while back: e.g. "We've got two incoming cargo containers! Scramble the fighters, this is gonna be rough!"
It's quite short, only five missions long - with two of the missions acting as cutscenes. Nevertheless, I think it's fun.
