| - Inferno is a fan-developed Game Mod for Free Space 2, one of the first produced and among the more well-known campaigns. It is notable for being one of the early attempts to almost completely replace canon ships with community-designed models, and featured a few designs from Volition's concept sketches that never made it into the final game. Unfortunately, after the partial release of its first chapter, it fell into Development Hell, and became one of the fan community's biggest Vaporware examples. A few years ago, a full, well-designed prequel called Inferno: Alliance was released, but, again, its sequel also fell into Development Hell. However, recently it was announced that work on the Continuity Reboot "Inferno Release 2" is in production, and a big release can be expected sometime in the coming months/years. The story follows that humanity has finally rebuilt the Sol jump node, and upon coming back to Earth, finds that Earth is not thrilled to find itself being forcibly drawn back into the GTVA. A civil war between humanity and the Earth Alliance soon results, into the midst of which the Shivans make a deadly return, boasting more powerful warships than ever.
