Allied Command (most frequently referred to only as Command) oversees operations conducted by the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance and gives orders to pilots and miscellaneous combat craft that participate in them.
In both FreeSpace games, Allied Command seems to be an organization of command personnel, as it is frequently referred to as a "they", instead of a "he". This implies that the "Command" who personally instructs Allied pilots is merely a communications officer, and not Command itself. However, the identity of this officer in neither FreeSpace games is known. In Conflict: FreeSpace – The Great War, he is a human of Caucasian ethnicity. His head animation is Head CM-1, which is the only head animation used for larger ships in the first game. In FreeSpace 2, the officer has head animation #2, who is a dark-skinned human, presumably of African ethnicity.
Over the course of the two games, the player character gets reassigned to numerous new flagships, but these reassignments don't affect how the Allied Command officer is portrayed. Even when the player is assigned to the GVD Psamtik, Command remains a Terran.
