Contents
FreeSpace: The Great War
Volition used Hindu deities to designate Shivan fighter wings and Zodiac signs (see below) to designate hostile Vasudan wings.
- Brahma
- Vishnu
- Durga
- Rama
- Krishna
- Indra
- Arjuna
- Deva
- Karna
- Bheema
- Kali
- Genma
- Asura
Volition's individual mission designers each seemed to have their preference with regard to Shivan wing names; some used Rama to refer to light fighters, Indra and Durga to refer to bomber wings, and/or Vishnu and Krishna to refer to Basilisks; others used no naming system. These conventions were not consistently applied, and can not be taken as entirely canon.
An additional wing name, Shivore, is featured in Fred.rtf, the FRED Designers Manual which was included in every FS1 release, but no occurrences of that name are reported in canon missions.
Silent Threat
The names of figures from Norse mythology are used to designate the wings of the GTI in Silent Threat and Silent Threat: Reborn.
- Bragi
- Buri
- Freki
- Geri
- Hrid
- Roskva
- Scald
- Skadi
- Tyr
- Thiazi
- Vargi
FreeSpace 2
Volition used only Zodiac signs to designate hostile fighter wings, regardless of which faction they belonged to.
- Aquarius
- Aries
- Cancer
- Capricorn
- Gemini
- Leo
- Libra
- Pisces
- Sagittarius
- Scorpio
- Taurus
- Virgo
A mission designer need not follow this naming system, although this system is very common among mission designers. Many designers add Ophiuchus to the list, after the supposed 13th constellation of the Zodiac. The name is not present in any of the canon missions, however.
Fan-made or not confirmed
Expanded Shivan list
