===Story===
 +
Inferno is an unofficial sequel to Freespace 2, centered on the [[List of Sol jump node devices|restoration]] of the [[Sol]] jump node in [[Delta Serpentis]].  35 years after Capella, the GTVA re-established contact with the [[Earth Alliance]], the warlike rulers of Sol that emerged from the ashes of the [[GTA]].  A war between the GTVA and the EA rages on, with the [[Vasudans]] remaining neutral in the conflict. During the EA-GTVA war, the [[Shivans]] return.
  
−
Another campaign, known as Inferno: Alliance, has been completed and covers what happened in Sol 15 years after the jump node collapsed.
+
In addition to the main [[Post-Capella]] plot, Inferno: Alliance covers the events that occurred in Sol following the destruction of the [[SD Lucifer]] in 2335.
  
−
A new, Standalone version of Inferno: Alliance, with a more involving and compelling plot (addressing the complaints of the community), is now in progress. The Inferno: Alliance Standalone version, or INFASA, will have characters, cutscenes, 30 missions (of which 23 are completely new), some new ships such as the Alcaeus and Latona, and all-new, ammo-based weapons.

The [[Inferno Classic]] continuity, made up of [[Inferno Release 1]] and [[Inferno: Alliance]] is in hibernation.  No development has taken place since the 2010s. A campaign named [[INFA2|Inferno: Alliance 2]], meant to fill the gap between INFA and the main INF timeline, was also conceptualized but no release ultimately was made. Team member Mobius ultimately ended up shifting assets from Alliance 2 into the [[Series Resurrecta]] continuity, and these campaigns retain various references to their origin.

A war between the GTVA and the EA rages on, with the Vasudans remaining neutral in the conflict. During the EA-GTVA war, the Shivans return.

General notes
