==Description==
A pre-Capella era campaign. It takes place 13 years after the exodus of Capella with a GTVA faction mostly recovered from the second conflict against the Shivans. The year is 2380. A full year ago, Terran High Command lost contact with allied forces in the Kryer system, a newly-colonised star system not on official starcharts. The 16th Terran battlegroup has been tasked to lead an investigation by force to assess the communication breakdown. But not all will be as it seems. You are Commander Jack Fenrik, newly-appointed squadron leader of the 70th Blue Lions currently assigned the GTD Cerberus, a Tennyson-class destroyer stationed as the flagship of the 16th. What awaits yourself, your wingmen and the battlegroup in the Kryer system?

Cerberus: Emergance is the upcoming introductory chapter to the Cerberus campaign revived and headed once more by Starwolf1991. The revitalization has so far seen a complete re-write of the plotline and overhaul of the modification's content to bring it up to par with other Freespace 2 Open modificaitons. As ACT 1, Emergence will feature a seven to eight mission campaign. Other ACTS will be developed and released as they are completed.
 
 
==Development And Status==
 
 
 
Initially started and created by Starwolf1991 on the 3.6.10_r4989 build, the campaign went under several story modifications, rewrites and changes to make it become more coherent and a proper continuing of the GTVA story. Cerberus Emergence's story also changed to incorporate the central character and his allies who fight side by side as the story progresses. It was largely inspired by Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius by Darius.
 
  
With a demo eventually released during the january/february part 2009, public testing could begin. The demo contains largely out of date content, but is playable and reflects mostly the stages of development leading to the proper full version still in the process of completion. At this stage, FreespaceFreak joined in the campaign's development. His contributions and work alongside Starwolf1991 has allowed the campaign to take better shape, become more flawless gameplay wise, allow more content to become added and gear closer to the final version.

Description

Cerberus: Emergance is the upcoming introductory chapter to the Cerberus campaign revived and headed once more by Starwolf1991. The revitalization has so far seen a complete re-write of the plotline and overhaul of the modification's content to bring it up to par with other Freespace 2 Open modificaitons. As ACT 1, Emergence will feature a seven to eight mission campaign. Other ACTS will be developed and released as they are completed.

Plotline

Thirteen years have passed since the Second Great War, and the GTVA has slowly recovered from the nightmare brought forth by the Shivan menace. Despite expectations, the GTVA remains strong as it pursues its goals and moves to ensure both stability and peace in its systems.

You are Wolf, a freshly-recruited Terran pilot from the Training Academy in Vega. You remember little about your past, but have easily made a life for yourself like other GTVA cadets. Alongside your two wingmen, Ghost and Avatar, you are slated to participate in a brief Terran-Vasudan Exchange Program onboard the GVD Nafretiri, before joining the Terran 7th fleet in Alpha Centauri. What begins ast may seem to be a simple renegade threat will quickly develop into much more as a distant storm rises.......
