Set over 30 years after FreeSpace 2 and about 50 years after INFASA, Nostos tells the story of GTVA's contacts with the Earth Alliance and the sudden re-appearance of the Shivan threat...
Often considered as the fastest ship ever built, the Ennead is essentially an afterburner with guns. Very poorly shielded, this refined interceptor is useless in most dogfights. However, she excels as a scout and can fill anti-bomber rolls, as her sleek profile and her state-of-the-art afterburner velocity is completely unmatched by conventional strikecraft.
