Story:
Stardate 8.8.2374. Battle at Olympos. The united Terran, Vasudan and smaller Cultures Fleets, in struggle with the Shivans. Theyr Hive has finally been found and the Federation has already started theyr Invasion of Olympos IV, about 18000 Lightyears away from Sol. Terran Marines try to bring a new invented Virus into the Shivans Hive and so any of them might be infected. The Shivans Queen starts its last affort for Counter Measures and orders theyr Satanus Ships to create a Supernova, destroying the Olympos Sector Star at Hand. If they know they die, they kill everything with them.
This is where this Part of the Story begins (ends). Long Time has passed since the Humanoids have spoke out the Word Victory. Milliards of Lifes have been extincted, departured or killed whilst Galactic Warfare, even Sol was once in the Grasp of the ultimative Agony, the Shivan Thread, the Hordes that came in Masses, like Locusts eatin up the World and leaving any System plank and without Life.
To that Date the Shivans have been thrown back, an Empire has to fall, a Lightbringer has to die and a whole Galaxy has to be unified, to End that surreal Battle against a cold and doubtless Foe. A less mistified and a more horrible, monstrous and furious Campaign needs to take Place and a young Pilot has to tell his Story, about the dark Time.
Can you hear them crying ?...Voices of the dead Souls floating through the Vacuum, beging for relief.
This Campaign is set up in a totally alternated Freespace Universe. A new Galaxy with more then 80 unique Systems giving lots of Mission making Space. All Shiptechdetails, completely overhauled and every Spacevessel with a new technical Designation. Completely rearranged History and a complete new Story, independent from the original Freespace Universe.
The first Mission:
You are Egon. Egon Mariner, based on the infamous Outpost Garrison in Homebound System, Sol Sector. You have been send to the Outpost to enforce the 128. Homeguard Division, which is responsible for Security in the inner Empire Sectors. Its just a normal Day, with a normal Patrol. Nothing Special at all. Well, its just the Life of a Marine.
I was always wondered ???. Why do Pilots know of the latest intelligence Information, whilst parts of the Command doesnt even have a Clue off. Well, Egon gets a really rough Introduction into his Duty, commanded by an annoyed Lieutnant (Tooner) and a even more annoyed Outpost Command Communicator, which obviously dont like to Babysit Navy Academian Newbies.
Starmaps:
Download Version 0.0.7 Alpha
http://www.file-upload.net/download-887649/FSAR.7z.htmlIn 0.0.7 all the Background Info is imported into the Game. There are some Placeholder .Ani Files which will be replaced by real Anis, once i found a more comfortable Way to make .MVE and .ANI or .EFF Files. The "tstring.Tbl" has been set up for booth, English and German Language, so theyr shouldnt be any Conflicts.
