Yes, I do know the colony wars (and thanks to connectix virtual game station I have purchased , I play them on my PC with a joystick
). But this universe is quite well known and the saga ends fairly well.
Now renegade: battle for jacob's star ends with an enourmous question mark ( about the same one as freespace 2) and you can clearly sense that this game is merely a chapter in the whole universe. The universe itself is very vast ( I would advise any of you willing to try and explore it to download the renegade: battle for jacob's star manual on the underdogs website) and offers at least 3 Theaters of operation.
A shame to let this die, really.
