Second Front Continuity

Canon events are highlighted in red and provided for reference.


WARNING: This article contains spoilers for the following storylines: FreeSpace 2, Second Front, Artifice, and campaigns under development.



The Second Front story arc tracks the GTVA through a slow, seven-year decline in power, beginning with the Shivan Incursion of 2367. This decline culminates with a third and final shivan incursion, which proves to be the death knell of the Alliance.

Second Front

November 24, 2367: Massive evacuations of the densely-populated Capella system begin. Millions of refugees flood into Epsilon Pegasi and Vega.

November 26, 2367: SJ Twilight, a Sathanas-class juggernaut leading the fleet moving toward Capella, is destroyed in Gamma Draconis by an operation titled Project Roadblock.

November 26, 2367: An exploration convoy, seeking to reenter GTVA space through the Altair system is destroyed by shivan forces. Martial law declared in Altair.

November 27, 2367: The Altair fleet requests tactical support from SOC forces in Aldebaran. An SOC detachment, under the command of Commodore Daniel Bast, is sent to Altair to oversee and support operations against the shivans.

November 29, 2367: 80 Sathanas juggernauts surround the Capella sun and begin emitting quantum subspace pulses of increasing intensity. GTVA Colossus destroyed by a Sathanas-class juggernaut while defending the Capella-Gamma Draconis node.

November 29 and 30, 2367: All jump nodes in the system beyond Altair, except the Altair node itself, are collapsed by the Altair fleet and SOC forces.

November 30, 2367: GTD Nereid and GTD Bastion, packed with meson bombs, detonate inside the Vega-Capella and Epsilon Pegasi-Capella nodes. Sathanas juggernauts destabilize the Capella star, causing a supernova.

December 1, 2367: The bulk of the shivan force assaulting Altair, consisting of three destroyers, supported by three corvettes and four cruisers, is destroyed.

March 10, 2368: A derelict shivan cruiser in the system beyond Altair is recovered.

Interim Period

March 12, 2368: Mop-up operations complete in Altair and the system beyond. Martial law ends in Altair, but Commodore Bast places his own command authority above that of the Altair provisional government.

Artifice

November 24, 2368: The GTC Firestorm, deployed from Altair without authorization, enters Alpha Centauri and suffers a comprehensive system failure.

November 26, 2368: The Firestorm is recovered by the Alpha Centauri fleet and returned to Altair.

December 3, 2368: After destroying the Aldebaran fleet, the Altair fleet, led by its flagship the GTD Galen, enters Alpha Centauri and begins carving a path of destruction toward the GTVA capitol in Delta Serpentis.

December 17, 2368: The Galen, its support fleet destroyed, enters the Delta Serpentis system. In a battle against the GTD Phoenicia and GVD Bilbeis, the Galen is forced to withdraw. The destroyer subsequently disappears into Ross 128, where GTVA forces lose track of it.

Interim Period

April 1, 2372: The GTVA Security Council authorizes the design of production models of the Iceni-class corvette and Hades-class superdestroyer.

August 27, 2372: The Coalition for Free and Open Trade announces its existance in Ross 128. The GTVA makes no distinction between the Coalition and other bandit organizations throughout Allied space.

February 9 and 10, 2373: Battle of Good Hope. The GTCv Boston, the prototype Iceni, is captured by Coalition forces from the Good Hope shipyard and is subsequently recaptured by Allied forces. Despite the defeat, bandit groups in Ross 128 begin uniting under Coalition leadership.

March, 2373: Bandit groups beyond Ross 128 begin uniting under the Coalition.

September, 2373: Most bandit organizations either accept Coalition leadership or are eliminated. The chief exception is the group in power in Altair, Aldebaran, and Alpha Centauri, though significant elements of this organization are sympathetic to the Coalition and undermine the tenuous command structure.

Bounded

February 1, 2374: The GTD Galen is discovered derelict near the debris field of the GTI Riviera. During a recovery operation, a nearby shivan cruiser, previously powered down, fires upon the Galen, destroying it.

February 3, 2374: GTVA Command reinitiates the search for the jump node that shivan forces used to enter Ross 128 at the onset of the Great War. As additional shivan forces begin appearing in Ross 128, the GTD Liberator, the first of the redesigned Hades-class destroyers, sees its first combat sorties.

February 7, 2374: Epsilon Eridani node discovered in Ross 128. Shivan forces begin appearing in greater number and in other systems, including Luyten 726-8, Laramis, Ikeya, Mirfak, and Altair.

February 10, 2374: The defense of Allied space against the shivans deteriorates. GTVA Command cedes its authority to individual system authorities, issuing a final order to evacuate Allied space and flee the shivans.

Ship List

Includes all named ships appearing in the Second Front continuity, through the Battle of Good Hope, not including those appearing only in mission text.

Notes

  • A question-mark following a ship's status indicates that that is the ship's most likely status by the Battle of Good Hope, but the ship was not mission-critical, and therefore may have been destroyed or survived, contrary to the table's indication.
  • The 'Serving System' column indicates where the ship is normally stationed.
    • Exploration vessels serve beyond the confines of charted space.
    • Ships of the Capella fleet are noted as being displaced, as no assumption is made regarding their evacuation or loss during the Capella supernova.
  • Factions
    • 'Local bandits' refers to bandit factions within Altair, Aldebaran, and Alpha Centauri that do not join the Coalition for Free and Open Trade.
    • 'NTF Remnant' refers to renegade forces coalescing under the NTF banner, despite the absence of Bosch's leadership.
    • 'CFOT' indicates the Coalition for Free and Open Trade.
    • 'Shivan Forces' are assumed to be one faction, serving a singular purpose, despite attacking through multiple systems.
