	[[~~Battle of Endor Syndrome~~\|~~Battle of Endor Syndrome~~]] ~~refers to the common tendency~~ of ~~beginner mission designers to create~~ a ~~massive battle~~ with ~~lots of capital ships, fighters,~~ and ~~activity.

[[Shrouding the Light\|Shrouding the Light]] cemented Blaise Russel's reputation as a master of FreeSpace campaign design. Unusual in that it is both a Great War-era campaign and a Vasudan campaign, it combined a fresh look at existing FreeSpace history with imaginative and well-designed missions. It subsequently received an "expansion pack" in Shrouding the Light: Origins, a series of campaign vignettes serving as a loose prequel.

	~~Ironically, the FS2 mission~~ [[High Noon]] has been suggested as a Battle of Endor Syndrome mission when the player has managed to destroy all four beam cannons of the Sathanas. This is because, despite the limited number of capital ships in the mission, the ~~player's actions cannot affect the outcome.~~		([[Shrouding the Light\|more...]])

	The [[~~TC-Meson Bomb~~\|~~Meson Bomb~~]] is ~~an experimental weapon developed at~~ the ~~Hideki Institute~~ in the ~~[[Vega]] system~~. ~~A highly classified project, this weapon has an explosive yield greater than any other warhead in~~ the ~~Terran or Vasudan arsenals~~, ~~though its size requires~~ it to be ~~carried into battle by freighter rather than bomber~~. ~~Its first combat deployment was to destroy~~ the [[~~Knossos]] device in [[Gamma Draconis~~]], and ~~it was later used to collapse~~ the ~~subspace nodes leading from [[Capella]] to [[Epsilon Pegasi]] and Vega~~.		The [[GTF Apollo\|Apollo fighter]] is the original Space Superiority Fighter in the Terran fleet. It is the first ship granted to commissioned GTA pilots and the easiest to use. With two secondary banks, it also can be used as a substitute for Assault, and thus is the most versatile ship. It's not as fast as the [[GTF Ulysses\|Ulysses]] or as maneuverable. It has the least weapon compatibility out of any ship, which is its primary disability. This ship does have a slightly better hull and shields than the Ulysses.

	~~In the~~ [[~~Blue Planet~~]] ~~continuity, the '''[[Gaian Effort]]''' is a radical ecoterrorist group that serves as~~ a ~~secondary antagonist to~~ the [[~~United Earth Federation~~]] in [[~~Blue Planet: War in Heaven\|War in Heaven~~]]~~. Although obviously hostile to the UEF, whether or~~ not ~~the Gaian Effort is allied~~ to ~~the [[Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance\|GTVA]] is not entirely clear.~~		The [[Nightmares]] are a race originally created by community member Aldo for the (now defunct) [[Reciprocity]] and [[Lost Souls]] campaigns; they are not intended to be a conjecture upon Volition's plans for extending the FreeSpace storyline and universe. Although their original projects never reached fruition, the Nightmares have seen use in a number of other campaigns, including [[Ancient Shivan War]] and [[Dimensional Eclipse]]. ([[Nightmares\|more...]])

	~~The driving ideology of the Gaian Effort is~~ a ~~convergence of hardline environmentalist beliefs and transhumanist thought. The movement~~'s ~~rhetoric runs that because~~ the ~~amino acids which made the evolution of life on Earth possible were likely to have originated~~ and ~~come to Earth on comets~~, ~~humans are destined to abandon~~ the ~~parasitic infestation~~ of ~~planets~~ and ~~ultimately return to their cometary homes~~.
