{{CBAnim2|filename=cb_sm1-01_b.ani|description=Animation representing a computer database entry on Admiral Aken Bosch, consisting of a large 3D bust of the character. In the background is a blue grid behind which is a faint image of the Neo Terran Front emblem that fills the screen. The bust turns to the right of screen half-way through the animation and back to face the camera at the end. Left and right of the bust gradually fills with four chunks of text that appear line-by-line. The titles of these are clearly displayed ('Aken H. Bosch', 'Neo-Terran-Front', 'War Crimes', 'State Crimes'). Note in the original Volition animation the main body text of the four segments is unreadable, but in Mixael's high-res version this text is readable (and contains some in-jokes).|lores=cb_sm1_01_b_34_V.png|hires=cb_sm1_01_b_34_M.png|fnlow=34|fnhigh=34}}

Filename: cb_sm1-01_c.ani
Description: Volition: High Res:
Animation of the 3D 'Node Map' of GTVA space, showing the current state of the battle with the Neo-Terran-Front (at the time of the first mission, 'Surrender, Belisarius!'). Most of the map elements are in green with two exceptions; the three systems held by the NTF (Polaris, Regulus and Sirius) and the links between them which are in bright red, and three three systems currently contested (Epsilon Pegasi, Deneb and Alpha Centuari) and the node lines connecting them to other systems, which are in yellow. The animation slowly zooms in to focus on Polaris, then pans to focus on Regulus and Sirus, during which these three systems given a fiery yellow outline. After this it zooms out slightly and pans quickly to Epsilon Pegasi, then panning quickly from it to Deneb and Alpha Centuari, with these planets given a red glow during the focus.

Frame Number: 20 Frame Number: 20


Filename: cb_sm1-01_d.ani
Description: Volition: High Res:
Animation of the 3D 'Node Map' of GTVA space, showing the current state of the battle with the Neo-Terran-Front (at the time of the first mission, 'Surrender, Belisarius!') with the element colours identical to the previous animation above. The camera zooms in close to Vega which glows blue and two wireframe models of a Hecate and Hatshepsut destroyer appear out of it. These rotate till they face right then stop, and after a short pause the camera pans along a jump node line to the Deneb system, which glows red while the camera rotates slightly around it. Cb sm1 01 d 90 V.png Cb sm1 01 d 90 M.png
Frame Number: 90 Frame Number: 90


Filename: cb_sm1-04_a.ani
Description: Volition: High Res:
Animation begins with the Freespace 2 interface background (black background filled with green 'data-esque elements'). A white glow appears and quickly grows into the GTVA symbol, which then shrinks as the word 'Classified' appears in large red writing. This is quickly squared off by a green line which stretches into another box beneath, which fills with red writing that says '3rd Fleet Headquarters' and below '01...15, GTC Vigilant, Gamma Draconis, Jump Node'. These remain on screen for a few seconds while in the background a series of 'light rings' form around the emblem from which beams of light akin to spot lights extend over the screen. These rotate around the emblem. At Frame 145 the animation cuts to footage of a Aeolus-class cruiser (which in Mixeal's version has a visible nameplate 'GTC Vigilant' but does not in the original) as a Rakshasha with several fighters jumps in behind it and attacks with several beams; this has a grain effect throughout that blinks from a light to heavy effect. One of the beams fills the camera shot with red light and quickly cuts to static for a frame, then cuts to a shot of star-filled space. An Orion destroyer comes in from the left of shot and a Sobek corvette from the right and are seen jumping into subspace. The animation ends shortly after their jump effects vanish.

Frame Number: 171 Frame Number: 171


Filename: cb_sm1-04_b.ani
Description: Volition: High Res:
Animation begins with a shot from far front starboard of an approaching and then passing Hecate. The ship is half-out of shot by Frame 121 where the animation cuts to the 3D 'Node Map' of GTVA space (all elements green, save for Polaris, Regulus and Sirius being red along with jump routes between them, and Epsilon Pegasi, Deneb and Alpha Centuari being yellow along with their jump routes). The camera does a slow rotating pan to focus on Gamma Draconis and then rapidly zooms in as the system glows blue. A rotating wireframe model of a Faustus appears from the system and expands to fill the top right quarter of the screen as text appears in blue glowing font. Large text below the model identifies it as the GTSC Erickson while the left text provides some information on Gamma Draconis; no planets, no moons, radiation being 'nominal' and it's star class being 3.

Description: Volition: High Res:
Animation is a single continuous shot of a Knossos portal against starred space from a distance away. Green lines are overlayed throughout resembling a camera, with the word 'Recording' blinking in red text top left. The camera very slowly pans (with some small unidentifiable objects, possibly Shivan cargo crates quickly moving through shot) around the portal as a warp effect appears (which is notably blue in the original version but green in Mixael's to reflect the alternate in-game colour for Knossos jumping). A Ravana Destroyer appears from the warp effect and has emerged up to the middle of it's 'neck' when the animation stops. Cb sm1 04 c 200 V.png Cb sm1 04 c 200 M.png

Animation shows NTF losses as their fleet attempts to get to Gamma Draconis. From a view of the 3D map (all systems are green except Regulus and it's nodes which are yellow) the camera zooms in on Polaris and shows red wireframe models of three NTF vessels (NTC's Gaozu and Fronde (either Fenris or Leviathan class) and a Deimos NTCv An Luchan) which then shatter like glass. The camera then pans to look at Epislon Pegasi and repeats with another ship (a Deimos NTCv Jacquerie), then again pans to Capella and repeats with an Orion named the NTD Vasa.

Two-segment animation introducing the Mjolnir RBC to the player. The first segment is in the style of a computer analysis with a Mjolnir model that rotates at intervals as (unreadable) text streams past on the right. The second segment begins with the computer elements fading into a space shot and the Mjolnir coming to life near a jump node. The camera rapidly pans to other RBC's situated at the four 'corners' of the Jump Node, then zooms out to show a Deimos jumping in and being destroyed by the beam cannons (though their beams are blue in both version of the animation unlike the green beams in-game).
