The characters of the FreeSpace Universe. Spoilers for the main FreeSpace campaigns and an assortment of user campaigns follow.

FreeSpace 1

Lieutenant Ash

Ash was the last survivor of a Terran patrol which, during a skirmish with PVN fighters, got ambushed and decimated by the Shivans as they first appeared in Ross 128 on January 7th, 2335. His last effort to reach outpost Riviera is shown in FreeSpace 1's intro cutscene. Ash, whose callsign was Gamma 39 during the patrol mission, ultimately dies as the Lucifer and several wings of Shivan fighters storm the outpost.

Lieutenant Harbison

A "seasoned veteran and top-notch pilot", assigned to assist Alpha 1 at the beginning of the Great War. According to Command, Lt. Harbison is a "brave and skillful pilot". According to the readme, Lieutenant Harbison is also the pilot assigned to "take you through the basics" in the training mission, but the canonicity of the readme is disputed.

Admiral Po

Commanding Officer of the GTD Intrepid and former commander of the Silent Threat player character.

Admiral Scott

Commanding Officer of the GTD Krios and a GTI officer. Scott was killed by GTI during the events of Silent Threat.

Admiral Shima

Commanding Officer of the GTD Bastion and the player's commander following the destruction of the Galatea.

Admiral Wolf

Commanding Officer of the GTD Galatea. Wolf was killed when the Galatea was ambushed and destroyed by the SD Lucifer shortly before the Shivan invasion of Vasuda.

Lieutenant Alexander McCarthy

Traitor who attempted to sell the GTW Avenger prototype to the PVN.

Admiral Halkins

A veteran of the Terran-Vasudan War who evacuated Tombaugh Station after the Lucifer attacked. The GTFr Halkins, which was also based at Tombaugh, was presumably named in his honor.

FreeSpace 2

Supreme Admiral Khu

A very high ranking member of the Vasudan admiralty. Captured and held hostage by the Hammer of Light. Moved to the remote Nagada Outpost in Sirius, where he was rescued in an operation codenamed Operation Templar.

Admiral Ahmose

Vasudan Admiral. Ahmose disobeys orders and sends forces to attack and destroy the NTF Iceni in Polaris, interfering with an important SOC operation being conducted by Lieutenant Commander Snipes.

Admiral Aken Bosch

Voiced by Ronny Cox

Former commander of the GTVA 6th Fleet. Bosch abandoned the GTVA in 2366 and initiated a coup in Polaris, forming the Neo-Terran Front on a basis of anti-Vasudan sentiment and longing for a Terran homeworld like the lost Sol. When the tide turned against his insurrection, Bosch fled Allied space and escaped into the nebula beyond Gamma Draconis. There, he proceeded to carry out his true goal: communicating with the Shivans, using his ETAK project, which had its origins in the Hades Rebellion of GTI. Following a successful communication with the SC Rephaim, Bosch arranged a meeting with Shivans aboard the NTF Iceni, his command ship. The Shivan 'diplomats' slaughtered his men and abducted Bosch and a few of his officers. The Iceni was later found by ships from the 13th Battle Group and the survivors rescued. Bosch's fate, however, is unknown. Bosch is intelligent, musing on the nature of humanity and the history of the Ancients in monologues throughout the main FS2 campaign. He's a competent tactician and commander, fairly knowledgeable at the very least with regards to Ancient artifacts, and a charismatic leader. He also has no qualms about manipulating his men, as Bosch does not possess the hatred of Vasudans that he uses to attract soldiers to his cause.

Admiral Khafre

Commanding Officer of the GVD Psamtik and commander of the 13th Battle Group of Deneb. Khafre assisted Admiral Petrarch with the campaign against the Shivans in Gamma Draconis and beyond. The admiral was killed when an SJ Sathanas entered the field of engagement of the second Knossos portal.

Admiral Petrarch

Voiced by Robert Loggia

Commanding Officer of the GTD Aquitane and commander of the 3rd Fleet of Capella. Petrarch helped Admiral Khafre in the fight against the Neo-Terran Front in Deneb at the start of the main campaign.

Emperor Khonsu II

Head of state of the PVE following the end of the Great War. Khonsu dissolved the Vasudan Parliament in 2339, ending a Byzantine institution of backstabbing and corruption and replacing it with a constitutional monarchy. His reforms were instrumental in the Vasudan recovery during the Reconstruction.

Captain Arthur Roemig

Commanding Officer of the NTC Trinity. On Admiral Bosch's orders, Roemig activated the Knossos portal and entered the nebula. Several days later, the Trinity was discovered by the 107th Ravens of the GTD Aquitane. Roemig was killed by a swarm Shivan strike before the Aquitaine's boarding party could take him into custody.

Commander Beckett

Squadron leader of the 64th Raptors, a bomber squadron.

Commander Habu

Squadron leader of the 203rd Scorpions, a space superiority squadron. He was probably killed when the GVD Psamtik was destroyed.

Snipes was aboard the NTT Grall when it entered the Shivan nebula and had to be rescued by SOC. Afterwards, he led a recon mission in the system beyond the second Knossos portal.

Lieutenant Samsa

Squadron leader of the 107th Ravens, a heavy assault squadron.

Rear Admiral Koth

Commanding Officer of the NTD Repulse. Koth led a surprise attack on Epsilon Pegasi, which was countered by the introduction of the GTVA Colossus. Koth died on board the Repulse, attempting to ram and destroy the GTVA superweapon.
