Shattered Stars is a stand-alone series of campaigns by Bryan See that is set hundreds of years after the events of FreeSpace 2 and Blue Planet.

Story

Hundreds of years after the Second Shivan Incursion, the Shivans have dominated the galaxy and the universe.

In Shattered Stars: A Deepness Within, the cosmic destroyers find themselves fighting for their own survival after they encounter several sophisticated advanced species. In the ensuing war, two species forge an unlikely alliance, whose consequences can only be catastrophic in the extreme, not only for the galaxy, but for the entire universe and the universes that lie beyond.

Development

Original Concept

Originally Shattered Stars started off as an original project by Bryan See in 2014 to act as a stealth interquel and sequel of sorts to the 2012 Total Recall film, whose universe was used as its setting. It became almost too large and too ambitious as many engine features were being added and tested, including Physically-Based Rendering, Unicode text support, and SDL2 support, to name a few. It was retooled many times, even becoming a total-conversion that do not require FS2 Retail. Then, in 2018, two campaigns were released: Trimurti, a mod that allows players to play as Shivans, and the first release of Inferno: Nostos. It was at that point he got the idea for what has become the current iteration of Shattered Stars, a mod that is set thousands of years in the distant future of the FreeSpace universe.
