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 demo campaign, introducing the developing conflict and what lies ahead. Other ACTS will be developed and released as they are completed.
