Featured Article of the Moment
The Lucifer Superdestroyer in FreeSpace Open
The SD Lucifer was a significant Shivan capital ship during the Great War. The eventual destruction of the Lucifer at the end of FreeSpace 1 was the single most pivotal moment of the entire war, and would eventually allow the Terrans and Vasudans to claim a costly, if temporary, victory.


Effectively invulnerable in normal space due to its sheath-shielding system, the Lucifer was further advantaged by its armament of at least three (likely four) beam (or beam-like) weapons in an era before Terrans or Vasudans had developed such technology. Its forward "flux cannons" were its primary armament, and used to destroy large ships and installations such as the Beta Aquilae Communications Terminal while its side-mounted beams were used in the attack on Vasuda Prime.(more...)
