	The Terrans and the Vasudans are in the middle of a high pitched, 14 year, intergalactic war. With the front nearly at a standstill and the casualties ranging in the billions, things look bleak. Then, during the middle of the fighting, a new foe arrives, named the Shivans by Terran Command. The Shivans systematically wipe out Terran and Vasudan outposts alike. With both Terran and Vasudans on the run, they must work together against their common enemy if they are to save their people, civilization, and homeworlds.

	As the Great War rages on, you've been commissioned by the GTI (Galactic Terran Intelligence) for special intelligence operations. In a matter of National Security, you've been asked to go behind enemy lines in order to preserve the fragile space treaty. Is the GTI setting you up or are the Shivans spreading their evil rage?

	===~~=Recommended=~~===		===Running FreeSpace on systems with more than 2 GB of RAM===
	~~Following~~ the ~~thread http://www~~.~~hard-light~~.~~net/forums/index~~.~~php?topic=86181~~.~~msg1721852~~#~~msg1721852 it has been discovered that~~ the following steps ~~can be used~~ to ~~get the game working in~~ Windows ~~7 64 bit~~		The disc versions of FreeSpace have problems running on systems with more than 2 GB of RAM. To fix this, follow these steps:
			#Install FreeSpace.
			#Install Silent Threat if you wish to install it.
			#Install the 1.06 patch.
			#Install the 1.06 EAX patch.
			#Open the game folder and locate FreeSpace.exe and FS.exe. Perform the following steps on each of these files:
			##Right-click the file and click Properties.
			##Click the Compatibility tab.
			##Set the compatibility mode to Windows 95, and make sure that "Run this program as an administrator" is checked.
			##Click OK.
			#Run FreeSpace.

	*Installing the Game		If you wish to install Silent Threat, you must do so ''before'' you install the patches. If you install it afterward, the game will not be fully updated and you will need to install the patches again.
	*Installed the 1.06 patch for the game
	*Installed the 1.06 EAX patch.
	*Open the game folder to ~~locate Freespace.exe and the FS.exe~~
	*Open properties and went to the "Compatibility" Tab for both files
	*Set the compatibility mode for both files to Win 95, ~~in Resolution 640x480 and run as Administrator~~
	*Started FS1 retail and it worked.

	If you do ~~not get~~ the patches it ~~won't work~~
	~~You can~~ install the ~~Addon Silent Threat too~~.
