FreeSpace 1
Lieutenant Ash
Ash was the last survivor of a Terran patrol which, during a skirmish with PVN fighters, got ambushed and decimated by the Shivans as they first appeared in Ross 128 on January 7th, 2335. His last effort to reach outpost Riviera is shown in FreeSpace 1's intro cutscene. Ash, whose callsign was Gamma 39 during the patrol mission, ultimately dies as the Lucifer and several wings of Shivan fighters storm the outpost.
Lieutenant Harbison
A "seasoned veteran and top-notch pilot", assigned to assist Alpha 1 at the beginning of the Great War. According to Command, Lt. Harbison is a "brave and skillful pilot". According to the readme, Lieutenant Harbison is also the pilot assigned to "take you through the basics" in the training mission, but the canonicity of the readme is disputed.
Admiral Po
Commanding Officer of the GTD Intrepid and former commander of the Silent Threat player character.
Admiral Scott
Commanding Officer of the GTD Krios and a GTI officer. Scott was killed by GTI during the events of Silent Threat.
Admiral Shima
Commanding Officer of the GTD Bastion and the player's commander following the destruction of the Galatea.
Admiral Wolf
Commanding Officer of the GTD Galatea. Wolf was killed when the Galatea was ambushed and destroyed by the SD Lucifer shortly before the Shivan invasion of Vasuda.
Lieutenant Alexander McCarthy
Traitor who attempted to sell the GTW Avenger prototype to the PVN.
Admiral Halkins
A veteran of the Terran-Vasudan War who evacuated Tombaugh Station after the Lucifer attacked. The GTFr Halkins, which was also based at Tombaugh, was presumably named in his honor.
FreeSpace 2
Supreme Admiral Khu
A very high ranking member of the Vasudan admiralty. Captured and held hostage by the Hammer of Light. Moved to the remote Nagada Outpost in Sirius, where he was rescued in an operation codenamed Operation Templar.
Admiral Ahmose
Vasudan Admiral. Ahmose disobeys orders and sends forces to attack and destroy the NTF Iceni in Polaris, interfering with an important SOC operation being conducted by Lieutenant Commander Snipes.
Admiral Aken Bosch
- Voiced by Ronny Cox
Former commander of the GTVA 6th Fleet. Bosch abandoned the GTVA in 2366 and initiated a coup in Polaris, forming the Neo-Terran Front on a basis of anti-Vasudan sentiment and longing for a Terran homeworld like the lost Sol. When the tide turned against his insurrection, Bosch fled Allied space and escaped into the nebula beyond Gamma Draconis. There, he proceeded to carry out his true goal: communicating with the Shivans, using his ETAK project, which had its origins in the Hades Rebellion of GTI. Following a successful communication with the SC Rephaim, Bosch arranged a meeting with Shivans aboard the NTF Iceni, his command ship. The Shivan 'diplomats' slaughtered his men and abducted Bosch and a few of his officers. The Iceni was later found by ships from the 13th Battle Group and the survivors rescued. Bosch's fate, however, is unknown. Bosch is intelligent, musing on the nature of humanity and the history of the Ancients in monologues throughout the main FS2 campaign. He's a competent tactician and commander, fairly knowledgeable at the very least with regards to Ancient artifacts, and a charismatic leader. He also has no qualms about manipulating his men, as Bosch does not possess the hatred of Vasudans that he uses to attract soldiers to his cause.
