 ==Background==
-During the development phase of Inferno: Alliance Standalone in 2006-2010, project leader '''Woomeister''' encouraged and supported the creation of unofficial minicampaigns as a way to effectively expand the modpack of said mod. Team member and FREDder '''Mobius''' started working on a number of independent minicampaigns, which ultimately entered a limbo phase. In mid 2020, many of these campaigns have been recovered from an old storage and, thanks to the contribution of a newly formed team mainly consisting of [[FSCRP]] and [[Inferno]] team members such as '''Admiral Nelson, Nightmare''' and '''Nyctaeus,''' the author managed to get two of these campaigns into working status, with other entering a to do list that will hopefully result in future releases. <br>

On October 7th, 2020, an official [https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=274.0| Series Resurrecta board] was launched on Hard-Light Productions, about nine days prior to the official release. It's worth noting that the release of SerRes is also the first occurrence of a released FreeSpace campaign created by an Italian FREDder and modder, as no other fans of said nationality have managed to deliver campaigns prior to that occurrence.

+==Releases==
 The first release of SerRes occurred on October 16th, 2020, under the brand name ''Shadows of the Great War'' [SotGW]. The release features the standard modpack that will serve as root for future upgrades, as well as two campaigns, [[Gehenna's_Gate|'''Gehenna's Gate [GehG]''']] and [[The_Spirit_of_Ptah|'''The Spirit of Ptah [TSoP]''']].

 SerRes' modpack is based on the FreeSpace Port, as well as on Inferno: Alliance Standalone, and features extra spacecraft and ships belonging to the various combatant species. Stats and styles resemble those of FreeSpace 1, except for anti-warship armaments, which are a derivation of those used in INFA. Each species relies on its own set of anti-warship armaments: Terrans (railguns), Vasudans (neutron cannons) and Shivans (plasma cannons). Depending on the circumstance, certain warships are equipped with more advanced weaponry.
-The collection also features exclusive soundtracks, composed by artists such as Georgios Savvinidis, Electric Trojan, Rich Douglas and Bloodstalker.

 Common traits to SerRes campaigns involve introduction cutscenes at the beginning of each mission, and the fact that the player character doesn't get to start any campaign as ''Alpha 1.'' Instead, wingmen designations will vary throughout the campaign, even on a mission-by-mission basis, and orders that can be issued by the player to other wings will gradually increase in number, too. ''Alpha'' wing designation is reached at the very end, and is normally linked to more privileges to orders which can be assigned to other wings.

	'''Series Resurrecta,''' Latin for ''Resurrected Series'' and colloquially shortened to ''SerRes'' or ''SR'', is a FreeSpace mod set during the [[Reconstruction\|Reconstruction Era]]. The name is derived by the fact that its various minicampaigns, two of which have been released so far, all derive from a number of satellite projects to [[Inferno: Alliance Standalone]] which entered a limbo phase between 2008 and 2010. The project is aimed at ''resurrecting'' these campaigns and get them into playable status, compatible with modern standards.
