My problem is, during the hunt for food when I stared into the emptiness that is my fridge, I remembered a Freespace 2 mod.
Well, the parts of the story at least. But not the name.
The stuff I remember is as follows:
- it's post-FS2
- it might have been produced by former FS2 devs trying to tie up the ending
- the GTVA found a derelict ship... an Orion-class but there are no recordings of it ever being built and it is old, really old
- the derelict ship has a scrambled message involving GTVA ships named Malevolence (a Deimos-class frigate) and the Marco Polo (Colossus-class on steroids, which can go toe-to-toe with Sathanas and even Lucifers)
- there is also a super Knossos-Gate (suped-up version of the Freespace 2 macguffin, really just several of them in line)
- the gate is destroyed and the Malevolence and Marco Polo are thrown back in time before the Shivans ever encountered humans
- the Shivans have several Lucifer-class ships, and part of the missions is to destroy all but one
- the Malevolence is destroyed by sacrificing itself
