Blue Planet is a series of fan-made expansion packs for the video game FreeSpace 2. It is set eighteen years after the original game and details the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance returning to Sol and the aftermath. The Blue Planet saga will eventually consist of three parts, but so far only the first two have been unveiled.Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius (2007) follows the 14th Battlegroup of the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance as they cross the newly-constructed Sol Gate into the solar system for the first time. The player takes the role of Samuel Bei, an experienced veteran of the Second Great War from the original game. The fleet ends up lost in an Alternate Universe where the Shivans won the Great War and humanity is reduced to a handful of scavengers on the run from the Shivan armada. Samuel Bei ends up playing a pivotal role in discovering the nature of this strange dimension and how they got there, finding his own destiny, and finding a way for the 14th Battlegroup to return to their own universe. Age of Aquarius won much acclaim for its richly realized story and excellent characters, especially Samuel Bei and his father, who have some issues, and its excellent and innovative mission design that featured a scale far larger than most previous campaigns.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Blue Planet: War in Heaven (2010/2013/???) is set a year and a half after Age of Aquarius. The 14th Battlegroup returned to their home dimension to find the United Earth Federation as the current government of the Sol system. Their standing orders: crush the Federation and forcibly assimilate it into the GTVA. Samuel Bei, his father, and several other members of the 14th Battlegroup defected to the UEF, leaving the blitzkrieg assault the GTVA was hoping for in tatters. However, the GTVA were quick to regroup, and are now slowly grinding the UEF's miltary into dust. The player character this time is Noemi Laporte, a newly commissioned pilot in the UEF navy. Noemi has...issues, most notably a history of mental instability, aggression, and hearing voices which are actually Sufficiently Advanced Aliens speaking to her through her Psychic Powers. She must face both her own personal demons as well as the forces of the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance, who outnumber, outgun, and generally outclass the UEF's. At the time of this writing, only three-fifths of War in Heaven has been released, the remaining portion still in development. War in Heaven was hyped extensively prior to release, and so far the general impression has been overwhelmingly positive of the released first part. More than one player has declared it the best FreeSpace campaign ever released.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })It is currently unclear if War in Heaven will wrap up the story. The developers have hinted at a "Blue Planet Part 3" that will occur after War in Heaven, but details are sparse. | |

Ace Pilot: Plenty of them. On both sides. One mission is literally two small teams of Ace Pilot's going up against each other. two of them happen to be Xinny and Zero, two of the pilots that made up the four SOC-man team that ventured beyond the second Knossos portal in FreeSpace 2 (including you, the player, and fan-favorite Snipes). Unusually for the trope, it's possible to lose (by getting shot down), in which case you (barely) survive by virtue of your fighter getting disabled but not blown up, and Xinny and Zero survive to complete their mission, which is to retrieve (or rescue) a character from the first game in the Blue Planet series. | |
