    ===Story===
    Complete Modpacks<br>
    Inferno is an unofficial sequel to Freespace 2, centered on the [[List of Sol jump node devices|restoration]] of the [[Sol]] jump node in [[Delta Serpentis]].  35 years after Capella, the GTVA re-established contact with the [[Earth Alliance]], the warlike rulers of Sol that emerged from the ashes of the [[GTA]].  A war between the GTVA and the EA rages on, with the [[Vasudans]] remaining neutral in the conflict. During the EA-GTVA war, the [[Shivans]] return.


    ===Story and general notes===
    In addition to the main [[Post-Capella]] plot, Inferno: Alliance covers the events that occurred in Sol following the destruction of the [[SD Lucifer]] in 2335.
    There are separate Inferno continuities - the old and the new one. [[Inferno Nostos]] is the only released campaign from new continuity. Status of INFA:SA and its sequel are uncertain.


    ===Criticisms===
    ==Inferno continuities==
    In its 20+ years of development, Inferno experienced a total team turnover and a number of changes to its infrastructure. For this reason, INF is now divided into two continuities: the old one featuring the first iterations of the project, and the modern reboot featuring a replacement of the early iterations, as well as a proper continuation to the story.


    Many community members found what appear to be a few glitches in Inferno:
    ===[[Inferno]]===


    *Presence of extremely large and unused warships
    [[Inferno: Nostos|Inferno]] (formerly '''Inferno: Nostos''') is a complete reboot of the Inferno continuity, aiming to provide gameplay similar in style to Freespace 2. (If [[Blue Planet: War in Heaven]] is a war movie, Inferno is an action movie.) Act 1 was released in 2018, and Act 2 was released Christmas Eve 2024. Act 3, fully voice acted, was released September 30th, 2026.
    *Poor plot
    *Overpowered weapons


    While the old continuity may be affected by those problems, the new one will try to solve them in the most effective way.
    ===Inferno Classic===
    The [[Inferno Classic]] continuity, made up of [[Inferno Release 1]] and [[Inferno: Alliance]] is in hibernation.  No development has taken place since the 2010s. A campaign named [[INFA2|Inferno: Alliance 2]], meant to fill the gap between INFA and the main INF timeline, was also conceptualized but no release ultimately was made. Team member Mobius ultimately ended up shifting assets from Alliance 2 into the [[Series Resurrecta]] continuity, and these campaigns retain various references to their origin.


    ==Old Continuity==
    Inferno Release 1 was the first release of the Inferno project, dating back to 2003. Release 1 is compatible with Freespace Open thanks to a patch and additional support. A voice acted version of Release 1 was released on July 16th, 2023 for the 20th Anniversary of the mod.  No development on a sequel is planned. All work on INFR's sequels stopped in the late 2010s.  Its ship database is located [[Inferno R1 Ship Database|here]].
    ===[[Inferno: Release 1]]===
    '''Also known as: INFR1, INF:R1, Inferno: R2, Inferno R2, Inferno: Release 1''', and '''Inferno Classic'''


    Mostly known with the abbreviation INFR1, this is the first release of the Inferno MOD, now compatible with FS Open thanks to a patch.
    Inferno: Alliance was released in late 2006 under Woomeister's direction. It takes place in Sol many years after the collapse of the jump node connecting the system to Delta Serpentis. The campaign was focused on the war between Earth and Mars, leading to the foundation of the Earth Alliance.  Attempts have been made over the years to reboot Alliance; as of late 2025, Alliance is on hold pending completion of Inferno 3.  Alliance's sequel, Alliance 2, has not passed the conceptualization phase. Some of the satellite Alliance Standalone content has found a new life in [[Series Resurrecta]].  Its ship database is located [[Inferno: Alliance Ship Database|here]].

    Although it's a sequel of INFASA, INFA2 is considerably different from its predecessor. Closer to INF SCP than INFASA, INFA2 will tell the story of the [[Earth Alliance|Earth Alliance's]] efforts in taking full control of Sol by defeating the feared [[Jovian Coalition]].

    Inferno Nostos will rewrite the story of its predecessor (INFR1) and its supposed sequel. The new MOD has been in the works for many years and features a lot of models and new effects. Changes to the first part of the storyline, the one already seen in INFR1, are considerable under many points of view.

    Story

    Inferno is an unofficial sequel to Freespace 2, centered on the restoration of the Sol jump node in Delta Serpentis. 35 years after Capella, the GTVA re-established contact with the Earth Alliance, the warlike rulers of Sol that emerged from the ashes of the GTA. A war between the GTVA and the EA rages on, with the Vasudans remaining neutral in the conflict. During the EA-GTVA war, the Shivans return.

    In addition to the main Post-Capella plot, Inferno: Alliance covers the events that occurred in Sol following the destruction of the SD Lucifer in 2335.

    Inferno continuities

    In its 20+ years of development, Inferno experienced a total team turnover and a number of changes to its infrastructure. For this reason, INF is now divided into two continuities: the old one featuring the first iterations of the project, and the modern reboot featuring a replacement of the early iterations, as well as a proper continuation to the story.

    Inferno

    Inferno (formerly Inferno: Nostos) is a complete reboot of the Inferno continuity, aiming to provide gameplay similar in style to Freespace 2. (If Blue Planet: War in Heaven is a war movie, Inferno is an action movie.) Act 1 was released in 2018, and Act 2 was released Christmas Eve 2024. Act 3, fully voice acted, was released September 30th, 2026.

    Inferno Classic

    The Inferno Classic continuity, made up of Inferno Release 1 and Inferno: Alliance is in hibernation. No development has taken place since the 2010s. A campaign named Inferno: Alliance 2, meant to fill the gap between INFA and the main INF timeline, was also conceptualized but no release ultimately was made. Team member Mobius ultimately ended up shifting assets from Alliance 2 into the Series Resurrecta continuity, and these campaigns retain various references to their origin.

    Inferno Release 1 was the first release of the Inferno project, dating back to 2003. Release 1 is compatible with Freespace Open thanks to a patch and additional support. A voice acted version of Release 1 was released on July 16th, 2023 for the 20th Anniversary of the mod. No development on a sequel is planned. All work on INFR's sequels stopped in the late 2010s. Its ship database is located here.

    Inferno: Alliance was released in late 2006 under Woomeister's direction. It takes place in Sol many years after the collapse of the jump node connecting the system to Delta Serpentis. The campaign was focused on the war between Earth and Mars, leading to the foundation of the Earth Alliance. Attempts have been made over the years to reboot Alliance; as of late 2025, Alliance is on hold pending completion of Inferno 3. Alliance's sequel, Alliance 2, has not passed the conceptualization phase. Some of the satellite Alliance Standalone content has found a new life in Series Resurrecta. Its ship database is located here.
