Developer Notes
Galemp has confirmed that the player in Silent Threat: Reborn is intended to be Aken Bosch, and this is reflected in the timeline and supported by the following evidence. Bosch specifically mentions being a pilot, which must place him in a squadron that serves after the Great War. It is possible, though unlikely, that Bosch was rank-and-file GTA during the later stages of the Hades Rebellion. Given Bosch's access to GTI technologies, it is probable that he was a GTI officer himself. This places him on board either the Krios, or the Soyakaze. If he was a pilot on the Krios, he must be the player, as of all the pilots on board the Krios, is is theoretically possible for all of your wingmen to be killed and only the player to survive.

Player Comments
The degree of thought, care, and polish put into ST:R is staggering. There is not a filler mission to be found anywhere in this campaign. The designers are amongst the most seasoned veterans of the FreeSpace community, and their attention to detail and nuance arguably exceeds that of the original Volition designers. In fact, Silent ThreatÉ Reborn represents the closest the community has ever seen to another Volition entry in the FreeSpace universe. It hews closely to the tried-and-true FreeSpace narrative structure, it explains all the major discrepancies between FreeSpace 1 and FreeSpace 2, and it even finds time to work in compatibility with Shrouding the Light. As if its narrative strengths weren't enough, the FREDding includes some real gems, including the blood-curdling He Who Rides the Tiger and Abandon Hope. Superb voice acting and a lovingly-crafted bundle of Easter eggs round out this magnum opus. ST:R is an exemplar of pure FreeSpace craft. And for goodness's sake, listen to your wingmen!
