FreeSpace 2 Source Code Project
Some notable original mods and campaigns have been created, such as "Wings of Dawn" which takes place in an anime-style world, and "Blue Planet" which offers a continuation of "Freespace 2", telling of a civil war between Earth and the GTVA. "The FreeSpace Port", sometimes called FSPort, ports the original "Descent: FreeSpaceThe Great War" to the "FreeSpace 2" and SCP engine with many graphical enhancements, and serves as a base for many mods set in the FreeSpace: Great War era, such as "Shrouding the Light" and "Awakenings". "Silent Threat: Reborn" similarly ports the "Silent Threat" expansion for Descent: Freespace into the Freespace 2 SCP engine.
Descent: FreeSpace – The Great War
Apogee Software announced on December 12, 1997 that they would be exclusively publishing "FreeSpace" for the first three months before handing the publishing rights back to Interplay Entertainment. This was part of their agreement with Interplay for the latter's purchase of the rights to "Descent", and Apogee decided to release "FreeSpace" as shareware, with themselves as the merchant of the registered version. Interplay, however, bought the full rights to "FreeSpace" from Apogee in late April, 1998, keeping the ownership of the game solely to themselves.
