Freespace 1 & 2 Reader Review  FreeSpace was a direct descendant
from Descent in set in the same universe. It was however a
completely different game to Descent. Where as Descent had you
flying through the corridors of mines fighting of rogue robots,
FreeSpace had you in space, fighting for the Terran Alliance
against the enemy, the Vasudans. Things quickly went from bad to
worse when a third enemy shows up on scene, the Shivans, the
great destroyers of the Galaxy. The game climaxes with a
desperate rush through hyperspace to stop the Shivan Super
Cruiser (The Lucifer) from reaching earth.  32 years and one
insurrection later, the greatest game on the PC is born,
FreeSpace 2. The Terrans and the Vasudans are now fully joined,
creating one "super" alliance, and the Shivans haven't been
seen. A stray faction, the Hammer of Light (HoL), is all that is
left of the war. The game starts with you hunting down a very
mysterious person, who is part of the HoL. Things go from
strange to stranger, then from bad to worse
