Enemy wing names

FreeSpace: The Great War

Volition used Hindu deities to designate Shivan fighter wings and Zodiac signs (see below to designate hostile Vasudan wings.

• Brahma
• Vishnu
• Durga
• Rama
• Krishna
• Indra
• Arjuna
• Deva

Volition's individual mission designers each seemed to have their preference with regard to Shivan wing names; some used Rama to refer to light fighters, Indra and Durga to refer to bomber wings, and/or Vishnu and Krishna to refer to Basilisks; others used no naming system. These conventions were not consistently applied, and can not be taken as entirely canon.

Silent Threat

In Silent Threat and Silent Threat: Reborn the following wing names are used for enemy GTI wings:

• Bragi

• Roskva
• Scald

Volition used only Zodiac signs to designate hostile fighter wings.

• Capricorn
  
• Gemini
  
• Leo
  
• Libra

A mission designer need not follow this naming system, although this system is very common among mission designers.
