5-mission campaign, can't totally vouch for it's being bug-free. It should be fairly balanced, but I make no promises about that either. (You all get to be guinea pigs before I post it on HLP. :p)

Break into Epsilon Pegasui to rescue loyalist elements of 6th Fleet during the opening hours of the NTF Rebellion. The entire campaign is supposed to occur over about one day.

Installation ought to be simple as long as you remember to turn off mods. FSO is required. Simply add the stuff in the zip to your missions folder, then go into FS and select the campaign from campaign room. No mods are included.

Random facts about this campaign:

The first three missions and part of the other two were built while listening to Rammstein's Moskau; the remainder was done with some Outkast song I don't know the title of on.

It's the French Terran Front (Goober's fault!) against the GTVA Royal Navy. This wasn't actually intentional, but I ended up naming most of the NTF ships after French ships circa WWII. The GTVA ships don't have quite so rigid a naming scheme, but I named two for Tribal-class destroyers and there's a Victory in there too.

Two future victims of the GTVA Colossus make appearances. See if you can spot them. :p Don't worry, they live through the campaign. It's not their time yet. :p

It think it uses a SCP-exculsive SEXP or two, unfortunately. But it might not. I'm not sure. The missions were saved as FSO ones though.

I can check. :p

Well, you lot are the most pathetic guinea pigs I've ever seen. :p I hunted down the last few bugs and completed it myself. Releasing it on HLP right now.

The problem with the FS players here is that hardly any of us have FS installed. ;)

LOL I'm disorganised though ;) Most of my discs usually live as one big Stack on the top of my desk :D
