What are these campaigns about?
Silent Threat: Reborn
The year is 2335. Just at the last moment the forces of the GTD Bastion were able to stop the Lucifer and destroy it in subspace on the way to the Sol system. However, this victory over the shivan super destroyer comes with a price. Not only the vasudan homeworld is devastated that it is uninhabitable, but also the subspace connection to Sol is severed, which separates humanity from its homeworld. And despite the victory over the Lucifer, the Great War is not over yet and so both Terrans and Vasudans have to adapt quickly to the new situation to finally overcome the Shivans.
Because of his unparalleled service aboard the GTD Intrepid during the Great War, the player is transferred into the Galactic Terran Intelligence, GTI for short, where he is part of the 91st Phantoms squadron of the GTD Krios where he takes his role in top secret missions behind the scenes to upheld the terran-vasudan cease-fire. But also, he is part in dangerous missions to get the GTA and PVN closer to a victory over the shivans. For that he has the latest technologies available. However, after he has encountered a terran science cruiser during one of the missions, that was destroyed long time ago, according to official reports, it becomes clear that, in addition to the Shivans and the Hammer of Light, there seems to be another group with their own plans.
Deneb III
It is the end of February of the terran year 2335 and the Shivans are preparing their attack on the Vasuda system. As a pilot of the Parliamentary Vasudan Navy there should not be nothing more important than the support of the evacuation efforts of the Vasudan homeworld. But as a crew member on the PVD Guardian, you are in the Deneb system instead to assist the GTD Galatea and GTD Bastion in the evacuation of Deneb III before the Shivan armada is arriving for their multi-pronged attack on Vasuda. However, after your squadron was selected by the Security Directorate, you have to work together with the GTI who have come to the believe, that the SSD Lucifer is not as invincible as it was previously thought thanks to new top-secret technologies. Can the new knowledge of the GTI keep its promise and is really able to avert the impending fate of the Vasudan homeworld or is it just another act of desperation?
