After the destruction of the Capella star, the Epsilon Pegasi system was all but cut off from the central core of the GTVA. Newly isolated behind the still-dangerous formerly rebellious systems of the NTF, and savaged by the Alliance-wide recession triggered by the Shivan invasion, EP suffered a steady economic and social decline. Decimated by military funding cuts, the GTVA presence in EP is small and distinctly undergunned, allowing the criminal element to flourish. Worse yet, entirely new and apparently unstoppable weapons have seen these pirates go from a criminal nuisance to a serious threat to the Alliance's ability to control the system. As a newly posted pilot aboard Blackwood station – the central Alliance outpost in the sector - your mission is clear. Defeat the criminal forces, discover and shut down the source of their new weapons, and protect the civilians of EP. But just where such a simple mission will lead is something nobody could ever predict...
This is the GTFr Atlantis, which will play a minor role in Act one and be seen more frequently in Act Three. It's a "Megafreighter" in name, though in reality it's 20 TAC-1 containers hold roughly the same amount as a single TC-TRI (as used on the GTFr Triton). Also note that while this render is untextured, the actual model is much further along - probably about 80% done (the diffuse mapping, at least), so it should be easily ready by the time the FREDding is finished for Act 1.
