FreeSpace: The Great War

Volition used Indian culture gods to designate Shivan fighter wings and Zodiac signs to designate hostile Vasudan wings.

  • Brahma
  • Vishnu
  • Durga
  • Rama
  • Krishna
  • Indra
  • Arjuna
  • Deva

Volition's individual mission designers each seemed to have their preference with regard to Shivan wing names; some used Rama to refer to light fighters, Indra and Durga to refer to bomber wings, and/or Vishnu and Krishna to refer to Basilisks; others used no naming system. These conventions were not consistently applied, and can not be taken as entirely canon.

Silent Threat

In Silent Threat and Silent Threat: Reborn the following wing names are used for enemy GTI wings:

  • Bragi
  • Buri
  • Freki
  • Geri
  • Hrid
  • Roskva
  • Scald
  • Skadi
  • Tyr
  • Thiazi
  • Vargi

FreeSpace 2

Volition used only Zodiac signs to designate hostile fighter wings.

  • Aquarius
  • Aries
  • Cancer
  • Capricorn
  • Gemini
  • Leo
  • Libra
  • Pisces
  • Sagittarius
  • Scorpio
  • Taurus
  • Virgo

A mission designer need not follow this naming system, although this system is very common among mission designers.
