Derelict is widely considered to be one of the best user-created mods. Derelict SCP was enhanced in 2006 by a complete set of voiceovers.

==Story==
Five years have passed since the jump node to the Capella system was collapsed, sealing off a massive wave of Shivan Juggernaughts from pushing further into GTVA space. The supernova and subsequent nebula hang like a growing scar throughout the GTVA as light from that event continues to spread across our worlds.

The loss of Capella created serious economic hardship throughout the Alliance, a new Great Depression is upon us. The complete loss of the planetary resources and economic foundation of a rich world was devastating in its own right, but that is not all. Two hundred million refugees continue to walk the stars, seeking a new home. Some have settled, while others have been forced to move from place to place, hoping that the next place may welcome them with open arms.

While the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance continues to hold, the current depression has given way to political instability. Local governments rise and fall as often lunar tides, organized crime and piracy have prospered in a black market environment. It seems no one is immune. Radical voices are raising echoes not heard since the blood cries of the Neo-Terran Front. The Ghosts of the past are catching up with us.

Since collapsing the Capella Jump Node, the recovering GTVA Fleet has spent much of its time and resources in police actions. Our own resources are taxed to the limit, and yet still we have the challenge to live up to our calling. Even so, it is alarming that there are those who are starting to take matters into their own hands.

What happens in the political arena is not our concern today. As part of the GTVA forces, ours is to keep space safe for our citizens

You are to take a new tour of duty with the 212th Silver Scythes squadron in the Tau Sigma cluster, a remote group of systems beyond the Altair Jump Node. These are mining colonies, and while the GTVA presence is small, it is nontheless important.

This is not an easy assignment, pilot. You will often be working in less-than-ideal conditions, but we trust that your skill will help to bring some much needed relief to this region.

==General Info==
'''Author:''' Goober5000 
'''Genre:''' Parody

==Story==
You'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?

'''Released:''' 15th December 2004 
'''Author:''' Ransom Arceihn 
'''Missions:''' 39 
'''Mods included:''' 
StratComm's Hedetet 
 
'''SCP Required'''
==Story==
It is the year 2364. Two years ago, your team saw a mysterious ship while escorting a convoy through uncharted systems. Now, the reappearance of the strange craft heralds the discovery of a dangerous device, and awakens something which should never be disturbed... So close and yet so far from your home, something sinister stalks you among the graveyard of the stars. Can you escape in time?

''Author's Note: Good God that description is terrible.''

'''Sync is the first chapter of a three-part story.'''

Sync lacks any sort of introduction. The first mission abruptly drops you into a nebula defending a corvette named Tether from mysterious pirates.

[[Transcend]] is set in the same universe as Sync, but does not appear to be a chapter of the Sync storyline.
