The characters of the Freespace Universe. Spoilers for the main Freespace campaigns and an assortment of user campaigns follow.

Admiral Ahmose 
Vasudan Admiral. Ahmose disobeys orders and sends forces to attack and destroy the NTF ''Iceni'' in [[Polaris]], interfering with an important [[Special Operations Command|SOC]] operation being conducted by Lieutenant Commander Snipes. 
 
Admiral Aken Bosch 
Former commander of the [[Epsilon Pegasi]] 6th Fleet. Bosch abandoned the [[GTVA]] in 2366 and initiated a coup in [[Polaris]], forming the [[Neo-Terran Front]] on a basis of anti-[[Vasudans|Vasudan]] sentiment and longing for a [[Terrans|Terran]] homeworld like the lost [[Sol]]. When the tide turned against his insurrection, Bosch fled Allied space and escaped into the nebula beyond [[Gamma Draconis]]. There, he proceeded to carry out his true goal: communicating with the [[Shivans]], using his [[ETAK]] project, which had its origins in the [[Hades Rebellion]] of [[GTI]]. Following a successful communication with the SC ''Rephaim'', Bosch arranged a meeting with [[Shivans]] aboard the NTF ''Iceni'', his command ship. The Shivan 'diplomats' slaughtered his men and abducted Bosch and a few of his officers. The ''Iceni'' was later found by ships from the 13th Battle Group and the survivors rescued. Bosch's fate, however, is unknown. Bosch is intelligent, musing on the nature of humanity and the history of the [[Ancients]] in monologues throughout the main FS2 campaign. He's a competent tactician and commander, fairly knowledgeable at the very least with regards to Ancient artifacts, and a charismatic leader. He also has no qualms about manipulating his men, as Bosch does not possess the hatred of [[Vasudans]] that he uses to attract soldiers to his cause. 
 
Admiral Khafre 
Commanding Officer of the GVD ''Psamtik'' and commander of the 13th Battle Group of [[Deneb]]. Khafre assisted Admiral Petrarch with the campaign against the [[Shivans]] in [[Gamma Draconis]] and beyond. The admiral was killed when an [[SJ Sathanas|SJ ''Sathanas'']] entered the field of engagement of the second [[Knossos]] portal. 
 
Admiral Petrarch 
Commanding Officer of the GTD ''Aquitane'' and commander of the 3rd Fleet of [[Capella]]. Petrarch helped Admiral Khafre in the fight against the [[Neo-Terran Front]] in [[Deneb]] at the start of the main campaign. 
 
Emperor Khonsu II 
Head of state of the [[PVE]] following the end of the [[The Great War|Great War]]. Khonsu dissolved the Vasudan Parliament in 2339, ending a Byzantine institution of backstabbing and corruption and replacing it with a constitutional monarchy. His reforms were instrumental in the [[Vasudans|Vasudan]] recovery during the [[Reconstruction]]. 
 
Captain Arthur Roemig 
Commanding Officer of the NTC ''Trinity''. On Admiral Bosch's orders, Roemig activated the [[Knossos]] portal and entered the nebula. Several days later, the ''Trinity'' was discovered by the [[107th Ravens]] of the GTD ''Aquitane''. Roemig was killed by a swarm Shivan strike before the ''Aquitaine'''s boarding party could take him into custody. 
 
Commander Beckett 
Squadron leader of the [[64th Raptors]], a bomber squadron. 
 
Commander Habu 
Squadron leader of the [[203rd Scorpions]], a space superiority squadron. He was probably killed when the [[GVD Psamtik|GVD ''Psamtik'']] was destroyed. 
 
Commander Vincey 
Squadron leader of the [[134th Barracudas]]. 
 
Doctor Mina Hargrove 
Leader of the research team investigating the [[Knossos]] portal in [[Gamma Draconis]]. 
 
Lieutenant Commander Christopher Snipes 
[[Special Operations Command|SOC]] operative undercover as squadron leader of the 185th in the [[Neo-Terran Front]]. Snipes, with the help of the player, acquired scans of the NTF ''Iceni'' and orchestrated the capture of the NTT ''Sunder'' before being reassigned. Snipes was aboard the NTT ''Grall'' when it entered the [[Shivans|Shivan]] nebula and had to be rescued by [[Special Operations Command|SOC]]. Afterwards, he led a recon mission in the system beyond the second [[Knossos]] portal. 
 
Lieutenant Commander Cordova 
Squadron leader of the [[242nd Suicide Kings]], an interecept squadron. Formed following the development of the [[GTF Valkyrie|GTF ''Valkyrie'']], the Suicide Kings were stationed aboard the [[GTD Galatea|GTD ''Galatea'']] and, in 2335, participated in the capture of the traitor Lieutenant McCarthy. 
 
Lieutenant Commander Jack Niven 
Squadron leader of the [[NTF]] 185th fighter squadron after Lieutenant Commander Snipes is reassigned. Killed attempting to execute Alpha 1 during a depot raid in [[Sirius]]. 
 
Lieutenant Loukakis 
Squadron leader of the [[53rd Hammerheads]], a space superiority squadron that can trace its history back to the [[The Great War|Great War]] and the GTD ''Bastion''. Loukakis has been known to pose as a captain on occasion. 
 
Lieutenant Samsa 
Squadron leader of the [[107th Ravens]], a heavy assault squadron. 
 
Rear Admiral Koth 
Commanding Officer of the NTD ''Repulse''. Koth led a surprise attack on [[Epsilon Pegasi]], which was countered by the introduction of the [[GTVA Colossus|GTVA ''Colossus'']]. Koth died onboard the ''Repulse'', attempting to ram and destroy the [[GTVA]] superweapon.

Lieutenant "Mackie" 
Ever-present pilot in Alpha wing. Sarcastic and distrustful of Command, Mackie has been embittered by life in the boondocks, and has a long-standing grudge against duct tape. 
 
Lieutenant Tom Faulkner 
[[Special Operations Command|SOC]] operative undercover in a mercenary outfit in [[Altair]]. 

===Fall of Epsilon Pegasi===
Admiral Wilson 
Commanding Officer of the GTD ''Disciple'' and commander of the loyalist remnants of 6th Fleet. Wilson was thrust into command and, as a result, is a somewhat ineffectual leader.

Ensign Stuart "Prickles" 
Grouchy pilot in Alpha wing. A 6th Fleet pilot from the days of Bosch, Stuart feels like he's under constant scrutiny for the crimes of his peers, despite staying loyal to the [[GTVA]]. As a result, he is unfriendly and generally mean. 
 
Ensign Thomas Burke 
Remarkably chipper pilot in Alpha wing. Burke was transferred to 6th Fleet from the 10th Fleet of [[Laramis]], along with the player character, in order to fill up gaps in 6th Fleet's defences. 
 
Vice Admiral Stockwell 
Vice Admiral of 6th Fleet before Bosch's rebellion. Stockwell was a strict disciplinarian and very unpopular with the troops. Presumed killed during the [[Neo-Terran Front|NTF's]] initial rebellion.

Commodore Cooper 
Commanding Officer of the GTC ''Actaeon'' and commander of the 9th Fleet detachment in [[Deneb]] following Mallory's death. Cooper is frustrated by the obtuse nature of the [[Vasudans]] and just wants to sort everything out as quickly as possible, although this often just makes things worse. 
 
Ensign Khem 
Pilot in Alpha wing and former lieutenant. Khem is openly contemptuous of both the [[Terrans]] and the [[PVN]] leadership. His idols include Officer Khafre, who dislikes [[Terrans]], and Officer Senbi, who dislikes the [[PVN]] brass. Khem abandoned refugees fleeing [[Vasuda Prime]] in favour of fighting [[Shivans]]. 
 
Ensign Rath 
Pilot in Alpha wing. During the fall of [[Vasuda]], Rath refused to join Khem and Senbi in fighting the ''[[SD Lucifer|Lucifer]]'' and instead escorted a group of civilians to safety. 
 
Ensign Tet 
Pilot in Alpha wing. Calm and sober, Tet often finds himself opposed to Ensign Khem in all kinds of ways - in attitudes to the [[Terrans]], the [[Hammer of Light]], the [[PVN]]... Tet is dutiful and quietly competent, unlike his peer. 
 
Officer Harakhti 
Security Director (commander of [[PVN]] special operations) for the PVD ''Guardian''. 
 
Officer Khafre 
Squadron leader of the 39th Protectors. Assigned the task of handling relations between the 13th and the 9th in [[Deneb]], Khafre's contempt of the [[Terrans]] jeopardises the security of the system from the [[Hammer of Light]].
