Eight years after the end of the original Freelancer and the defeat of the Nomads, the four houses of Sirius have banded together to form the mighty New Alliance, successor to the Alliance destroyed in the Sol System by the Coalition eighthundred years before. The quarrels between the houses have stopped and relative peace has settled in. But a new danger lurks in the shaddows of unknown space. The same year, one of the Alliance's exploration ships discovers one of the Dam Ko'Vosh hypergates. By sending unmanned probes through it, it is discovered the gate leads to the Sol System, mankind's home. But the system lies in ruins, destroyed by a Nomad superweapon shortly after the launch of the sleeper ships. Instead, the first Alliance fleet sent through to research encounters a fleet of the Coalition, arch-enemy of the Alliance for almost a millenium, having mysteriously survived the Nomad attack as well. There is no time for talks. In the chaos of a Nomad ambush, both sides...
The Basilisk is a powerful opponent, representing
the Coalition's omnipresent military might.
Its inability to perform quick maneuvers is
countervailed by its strong armor. As such, the
Basilisk has been modified and refitted
extensively over the last eight centuries and has
since then become a symbol for the Coalition
itself.
ahh the basilisk would of have to have some very major improvements or has been dumped because they were used some odd 800 to 900 yrs ago in the starlancer sequel
It was called lagg
Id like to see this, Be cool, Wouldent use it though.
