A Game Mod for the FreeSpace series, Wings Of Dawn has a completely new setting and story, rather than being an addition to the existing canon. Boasting a heavily anime-influenced plot, a metric ton of Shout Outs, and Lampshade Hangings galore, it is also notable in that it was completed by just one guy, known as Spoon.The year is NC 0145note somewhere around AD 2375. The war between the Terrans and the Cyrva ended 62 years ago, and the two species are on friendly terms, though not integrated. In an effort to improve interspecies relations, a joint military academy is founded in the Abyss system, where cadets of both species would study alongside each other, and form the mixed-species Joint Guardian Angels Strike Force upon graduating. Now, the first class of the academy is graduating, and Misuzu Stella, Crystal Is'va Dertanya, and their classmates are looking forward to some routine peace-time assignments on board their new command ship, the LSF Guardian Angel. However, they soon find themselves fighting on the front lines against a sudden invasion by not one but several alien species.Two additional mini-campaigns were released: "A Nordera Day", which allows you the challenge of playing as a Nordera warrior, and "Stranded", which is a side-story focusing on two pilots who get trapped behind enemy lines and must fight their way back home.Following the success of the mod, Spoon decided to make the game a standalone title utilizing the Freespace engine, and began a massive overhaul of the setting. The new iteration of Wings of Dawn (christened "NuWOD" by Spoon) contains a rewritten story now taking place during the Terran-Cyrvan War, a new control scheme, and short VN segments between missions to add to the character development and worldbuilding. It is released episodically.

Our Elves Are Different
 Wings of Dawn (Video Game) / int_15fc9fb
comment
Our Elves Are Different: The Cyrva are longer-lived, more physically flexible, more able to multitask,in general better shots than Terrans, and their ships are much, much more powerful and advanced. Terrans do have some advantages over them though, they are physically stronger and have a much higher pain tolerance, to the point that a fist fight between a Terran and a Cyrvan will always end in a Terran victory. Terrans are also more experienced and determined in warfare, which is one of the reasons they were able to fight the more technologically-advanced Cyrva to a stalemate. The other, and arguably biggest, reason was the fact that as the war dragged on public support for it on the Cyrvan side dwindled, which meant that the volunteer-run Cyrvan armada stopped receiving reinforcements.

Hyperspace Is a Scary Place
 Wings of Dawn (Video Game) / int_204a1207
comment
Hyperspace Is a Scary Place: Transspace. It's an empty dimension of pure white, where everything looks blurry, ships not designed for it randomly implode, and there are EMP bursts with no apparent cause. When the ships exit the dimension, they note that some objects (such as one pilot's helmet) apparently didn't make the transition back with them, and are just gone.

Shiny-Looking Spaceships: If Terran ships were any shinier, they'd be emitting light themselves. Possibly justified by the tech room because the ships have reflective armor to protect against energy weapons.

Proud Merchant Race: The United Guilds of Commerce, which grew out of a group of MegaCorps that split off from the Sol Union to protect their own interests. Described as the smallest and least militarily powerful Terran faction, but with tremendous economic and political influence. They generally act only in their own self-interest, and have been known to be underhanded in their dealings.

Glass Cannon: Most Cyrvan ships. Unlike for example Hertak ships, they will go down like a sack of potatoes if they try to charge at a Terran firing line, but should a small group of them manage to catch the terrans from a blind side, they can wipe out most of the Terran ships before they can even turn around to face them.

Older Than They Look: Crystal is 42. Still very young by Cyrvan standards, as they often live to be Really 700 Years Old. Dawn was in a Starlance for a hundred years, technically. The game Lampshades this by listing her age as "19 (119?)".

The Delest Dynasty is another, in fact literally being lead by an Empress, Yu Ki Kohakuren Delest. They practice Conscription for their military, regularly practice gene splicing to genetically enhance themselves, use a labor force comprised of ArtificialHumans brainwashed into loyalty, and they are isolationists to the core. While they aren't portrayed as a villainous faction, per se, they are viewed with a high amount of distrust by the rest of humanity. Nobody except themselves know their exact military might, and they are sort of the Foil of the New Brittania.

No Kill like Overkill: Seems to be standard Hertak design philosophy. The Aleyurians as well: the uber-powerful Prometheus Frame was their idea of a "light" fighter. Speaking of overkill, just what the hell did the Zy put in those Anti-Fura'ngle missiles? They easily make the largest explosion seen in the game.

Mysterious Past: Dawn doesn't seem to remember much of anything before she was drafted into the UEU, where she was kept under control via drugs (under the guise of medicine to help control her dreams). The Cyrvans are very interested in her for some reason, and she often dreams about them, for reasons even she doesn't know.

No Transcyrvanism Allowed: The Cyrvans absolutely forbid genetic research of any kind, for any reason. (Strangely, interbreeding with Terrans is permitted, though not encouraged.) Terrans aren't quite as strict about this, but view genetic engineering somewhat unfavorably, since the oppressive UEU used it heavily, and often on unwilling subjects.

Gratuitous Japanese: Usually courtesy of Misuzu (she at one point claims to be of Japanese descent, but she has also claimed to be Polish nobility, so nobody really believes her).

Heel–Face Turn: The Cordi after Crystal helps them rescue their Queen from the Hertak. A squad of Zy fighters also defect in the middle of the climactic battle, and prove instrumental in taking out a priority target. After the Flagship goes down, the Zy and Fura'ngle turn completely, and begin waging war on the Hertak to take back their homeworlds.

Cowardly Lion: The Fura'ngle. They hate fighting, and run away from any conflict that looks like they might possibly lose. They also have technology on par with (or even surpassing) the Cyrva, and possess some extremely powerful weapons. They are also the only race smart enough to concentrate on omnidirectional turrets, which can make them extremely irritating to fight.

Bio-Augmentation: Humans resorted to this after World War III (which was nuclear). Since the overthrow of the UEU, use of genetic engineering has been greatly reduced, save for medical purposes. Still, there's no doubt that a century of tinkering with genetics has done humanity good: disease is far more uncommon, the human lifespan has been increased to 140 years, with aging delayed to around age 70, and humans in general are more intelligent and physically fit.

Attack Its Weak Point: Adasyas have incredibly powerful Deflector Shields, and are tough for capital ships to take down... unless a sneaky fighter pilot flies under the shields and shoots the core (this is pretty dangerous, as the Adasya still has numerous point defense turrets, and its homing lasers will hit you on the way in).

The Nordera, much like the Shofixti, are a relatively primitive warrior race that got into space with help from a more advanced species (in this case, the Hertak, whom they willingly serve in exchange for getting to kill aliens, which suits the Hertak just fine). They tend to act more like the Thraddash, though.

Cool Ship: The Zephyr is of the "run-down but awesome" variety. A full-blown, if very outdated, Battle Star owned and operated by two people, complete with luxuries like a full Japanese-style bathing area. The Contravention is an odd case. While it is otherwise an Elephant class ship similar to the UGC ships, it has very obvious red and pink paintjob that is impossible to miss, which Dawn think that it looks horrible. The Guardian Angel is a straight case, being a top-of-the-line warship with the most advanced tech and weapons available to Terrankind. It also has luxuries like private rooms for all pilots, complete with showers.

Dawn was in a Starlance for a hundred years, technically. The game Lampshades this by listing her age as "19 (119?)".

Break Out the Museum Piece
 Wings of Dawn (Video Game) / int_d40e1a9f
comment
Break Out the Museum Piece: The Guardian Angel suffers an EMP attack from a Fura'ngle force, and the pilots have to sortie to destroy it. Unfortunately, the electronic attack also shorts out the electrical systems of the fighters (which have an omnidirectional viewscreen instead of a transparent canopy), which means that they can't use their normal fighters. The only fighter capable of destroying the source of the jamming is an obsolete Ray Mk I, since it's the only fighter that has a canopy that the pilot can see through. You have to use the ol' Eyeball Mark I to spot your target.

One World Order: Averted. Unlike the original mod, the Terran race is split into four major factions, the Sol Union, New Brittania, the United Guilds of Commerce, and the Delest Dynasty. The four of them have formed a military alliance against the Cyrvans, the League Star Forces, which is supposed to be a purely anti-Cyrvan task force.

The Hertak are enslaving other species and using them as "battle thralls" (yes, those exact words are used), out of fear of being destroyed themselves. Their Armageddon dreadnoughts somewhat resemble Ur-Quan dreadnoughts in shape, and the fighters they launch use beams as a primary weapon. In other words, they're basically the Kzer-Za. They even get a remix of the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za theme accompanying both their first mention and their first appearance.

Mildly Military: Probably as a result of having a Cyrvan as the commanding officer, as it's been stated that Cryvan crews lack the strict discipline present in human crews (largely because, they claim, they can do their jobs just fine without said discipline).

The Battlestar: Not very common in this, unlike most FreeSpace mods. The Nordera Battleaxes do it because culturally they can't bear to leave a fight (and their fighters don't have jump drives), the Hertak Armageddons because they're copying the Ur-Quan just that scary. Neither the Guardian Angel itself nor the Cordi Mothership, however, are any great shakes at ship-to-ship, and the Adasya doesn't appear able to deploy fighters.

comment
Purposely Overpowered: The Prometheus Frame, aka Infi. Let's see: it has a powerful primary weapon that can kill any fighter in about three shots that aims itself at your target, four Wave Motion Guns that allow it to chew through capital ships with ease, AI-controlled anti-fighter beams to deal with enemies trying to flank you, two variations of extremely powerful heat-seeking swarm missiles, and capital ship strength Deflector Shields. The only things really capable of taking Infi down are over a dozen fighters attacking at once or an Armageddon dreadnought. The R&D folks really weren't kidding when they said this single ship could probably turn the tide of war on its own.

The Mothership: The Hertak Flagship. Since the entire royal family is onboard, destroying this throws the entire Hertak empire into disarray, and costs them both their battle thralls and the war. The Cordi have a ship class called "Mothership", but it doesn't fit the trope.
