	The campaign was intended to include a full-scale continuation of the FreeSpace saga, including approximately fifty new models, a full-length campaign of around thirty missions, new effects, interface and source code changes created in league with the early [[Source Code Project]]. Project leader IceFire, an extremely prominent member of the community had large past experience, including the release of prior campaigns [[Derelict]] and [[Warzone]]. Such an ambitious project required a large amount of skilled staff, including modelers, music composers, texture artists, interface artists, sound effects creators and mission designers.

	Although a few prominent members did attach themselves to the project, including [[user:aldo_14\|Aldo]] and IceFire, the campaign was considered dead not too long after being created (people on the project have pointed out that they never went anywhere with the project). This could be for a number of reasons, including being extremely overambitious, but also because it came at a time when most other community members were already engaged in other projects at the time. It was envisioned that the project would gradually increase as more projects were completed and more members became available, but unfortunately, this did not happen.

			==Part of Cold Element==

			Despite the initial failure of the project, a number of teammembers such as Ace and IceFire wrote a rough outline for the campaign that would be the eventual conclusion to their Cold Element campaign series. Work would resume after the release of BlackWater Operations, with PS being set roughly 20-30 years after the events of BWO and a backstory generic enough for both of its branching ends to be considered the prequel for PS. Due to the long stagnation of BWOs development and most of its former staff departing from HLP, any hope to realize the project was dropped and the storydraft posted on HLPs forum in 2012.

			===Plot Pool===

			In 2020, Ace revealed further details regarding the setting of PS, along with a number of presumptions towards the Shivans, subspace and their relation. These ideas were not limited to PS or CE, but rather formed a pool from which various campaigns - for example Venoms Over the Top - were fueled in the early years of FS modding.
