Story

Inferno is an unofficial sequel to Freespace 2, centered on the restoration of the Sol jump node in Delta Serpentis. 35 years after Capella, the GTVA re-established contact with the Earth Alliance, the warlike rulers of Sol that emerged from the ashes of the GTA. A war between the GTVA and the EA rages on, with the Vasudans remaining neutral in the conflict. During the EA-GTVA war, the Shivans return.

In addition to the main Post-Capella plot, Inferno: Alliance covers the events that occurred in Sol following the destruction of the SD Lucifer in 2335.

General notes

The Inferno Classic continuity, made up of Inferno Release 1 and Inferno: Alliance is in hibernation. A campaign named Inferno: Alliance 2, meant to fill the gap between INFA and the main INF timeline, was also conceptualized but no release ultimately was made. Team member Mobius ultimately ended up shifting assets from Alliance 2 into the Series Resurrecta continuity, and these campaigns retain various references to their origin.

Inferno Nostos is a reboot of the Inferno continuity. Nostos 1, a reboot of the original Inferno Release 1, was released in 2018. As of November 2024, Nostos 2 is currently in beta testing and voice-acting. Nostos 3, which completes the Inferno cycle, is slated for release in late 2025.

INF continuities

New Continuity

Inferno Nostos

Also known as: INF SCP, INF Nostos

Inferno Nostos is a total overhaul of its predecessor (INFR1) and its supposed sequel INFR2. The first release of Nostos was in 2018 and a new version of Nostos R1, as well as the sequels R2 and R3 which will complete the main INF timeline, are both nearing completion as of late 2024.

Inferno: Alliance Standalone

Also known as: INFA:SA, INFASA, INFA1 (may also refer to INFA)

INFASA, now INFAR, is to INFA what Nostos is to INFR1: a complete upgrade of its predecessor. The main campaign is currently on hold and progress on it is supposed to resume following the release of Nostos R3. An episodic release of its c.a. 40 missions is considered.

Inferno: Alliance 2

Also known as: INFA2, INFA:2

The concept of INFA2 is meant to described the events that occurred in Sol between INFA and the main INF timeline. However, this project has never passed the conceptualization phase and a possible release, perhaps in a reduced form, after Nostos R3 is being considered.


Old Continuity

Inferno: Release 1

Also known as: INFR1, INF:R1, Inferno: R2, Inferno R2, Inferno: Release 1, and Inferno Classic

Mostly known with the abbreviation INFR1, this is the first release of the Inferno project, dating back to 2003. INFR1 is compatible with FS Open thanks to a patch and additional support. A voice acted version of INFR1 was released on July 16th, 2023 for the 20th Anniversary of the mod.

Nostos has effectively replaced INFR1, which as of today retains mostly a historical value.

Inferno R1 Ship Database

Inferno: Alliance

Also known as: INFA, INF:A, INFA1

Inferno: Alliance, or INFA, is another MOD ideated by Woomeister and released in late 2006. It takes place in Sol many years after the collapse of the jump node connecting the system to Delta Serpentis. The campaign was focused on the war between Earth and Mars, which would have led later on to the foundation of the Earth Alliance.

INFASA, now INFAR, is meant to be the upgrade of the original INFA, but this project is currently on hold. Some of the satellite INFASA content however has found a new life in Series Resurrecta.

Inferno: Alliance Ship Database

Inferno: Release 2

Also known as: INFR2, INF:R2, Inferno: R2, Inferno R2, Inferno: Release 2

Originally supposed to be INFR1's sequel, all work on INFR2 stopped in the late 2010s.
