The FreeSpace Wiki is designed to be a comprehensive source of data for the FreeSpace series of games, including information about the games themselves, the FreeSpace universe, and community activities such as modding and the Source Code Project. It also contains help with some of the more common problems, such as setting up multiplayer and obtaining the FreeSpace games, which can be quite difficult in stores.

Anyone can edit the FreeSpace Wiki, and we encourage you to do so, but please read our Canon Policy for information on what sort of data should be submitted, and how to submit it, before you begin. You should also note that registration is required to edit the FreeSpace Wiki. If you want to contribute but can not decide where to begin then you could start with going through the requested pages.

Please not that, like most wikis, the FreeSpace Wiki also contains spoilers about the games themselves and the mods that were made for it.
