In the FreeSpace community, G-canon (short for [[User:Goober5000|Goober5000]]/[[User:GalacticEmperor|Galemp]] canon) is a term that fans have coined to refer to the continuity centered on [[Silent Threat: Reborn]]'s interpretation of the [[Hades Rebellion]].  "Fanon" in relation to the overall FreeSpace universe is a contentious issue; while G-canon is not V-canon (that is, universe information published by Volition) it expands upon Volition's universe and is internally consistent.  Thus, G-canon presents an "expanded universe" similar to the universes of [[Cold Element]], [[Inferno]], [[Blue Planet]], and so forth.

In the FreeSpace community, Silent Threat: Reborn's interpretation of the Hades Rebellion uses loosely connected campaigns to establish a universe. Although not canon, it expands upon Volition's universe and is internally consistent. Thus, this interpretation presents an "expanded universe" similar to the universes of Cold Element, Inferno, Blue Planet, and so forth.

Timeline

Campaigns considered G-canon are:

Vasudan Imperium is not part of the continuity due to contradictory plot developments such as the GTC Orff being destroyed in the first mission. While both Goober5000 and Galemp are heavily invested in Scroll of Atankharzim, it remains to be seen whether this campaign will also be part of the continuity, with Sesquipedalian as project leader emeritus. Most grayed-out information in the Timeline is part of the continuity.

Important Ships

The Silent Threat: Reborn continuity introduces several important capital ships not present in canon.

  • GTD Legion: Flagship of the GTI, destroyed in the Battle of Deneb, as depicted in the FreeSpace 2 opening cutscene.
  • GTD Repulse: Flagship of the GTI's Research and Development branch. Captured and recommissioned; later defected to the NTF.

Important Characters

The continuity also introduces several new characters to the FreeSpace universe.
