The '''Hades Rebellion''' was an attempted coup initiated by rogue elements of [[Galactic Terran Intelligence]] following the events of the [[Great War]], and was cataloged in the ''[[Silent Threat]]'' campaign. In one of his monologues in ''FreeSpace 2'', Admiral Bosch mentions that he had once battled rogue elements of the GTI during this rebellion, which has sparked speculation that the player's character in ''Silent Threat'' was, in fact, Aken Bosch, though this has never been canonically confirmed.

The FreeSpace Port has released a reimagined version of the ''Silent Threat'' campaign known as ''[[Silent Threat: Reborn]]'' due to the generally poor nature of the ''Silent Threat'' missions. Though it is not canon, this project deals with the Hades Rebellion, and provides some background detail on this ship and the rebellion around it. Another user-made campaign, appropriately titled ''[[GTI Rebellion (campaign)|GTI Rebellion]]'', is also working on rewriting the ''Silent Threat'' storyline, with heavy character development at the core.

The Hades Rebellion was an attempted coup initiated by rogue elements of Galactic Terran Intelligence following the events of the Great War, and was cataloged in the Silent Threat campaign. In one of his monologues in FreeSpace 2, Admiral Bosch mentions that he had once battled rogue elements of the GTI during this rebellion, which has sparked speculation that the player's character in Silent Threat was, in fact, Aken Bosch, though this has never been canonically confirmed.
