In the FreeSpace community, G-canon (short for Goober5000/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.
Timeline
Campaigns considered G-canon are:
- The Main FreeSpace Campaign
- Silent Threat: Reborn
- Echo Gate
- Shrouding the Light: Origins
- Shrouding the Light
- Operation Templar (FSPort Single Player version)
- The Main FreeSpace 2 Campaign
The Terran-Vasudan War Project is not considered G-canon as it is much less polished than Silent Threat: Reborn, is not internally consistent, and spawns numerous plot threads that remain unresolved. Vasudan Imperium is not G-canon either, although this is primarily 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 G-canon, with Sesquipedalian as project leader emeritus. Most grayed-out information in the Timeline is G-canon.
Important Ships
G-canon introduces several important capital ships not present in V-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
G-canon also introduces several new characters to the FreeSpace universe.
- Andreas Rybak, director of the GTI's rogue elements.
- Marcus Glaive, commander of the GTI Research and Development fleet.
- Samantha Tess, commander of the GTI Intelligence fleet, changed from an unnamed male admiral in the canonical Silent Threat campaign.
- Admiral Amentep, commander of the PVD Guardian.
