Lieutenant Ash: I can feel them following me. Lieutenant Ash: No it isn't! You don't understand! You weren't there. Send everything you've have now! Riviera Tech: Sir, I don't have anyone else on scope. Riviera Tech: Pilot, sit tight! We're sending recovery craft right now. They weren't Vasudan and they weren't Terran. Riviera Tech: Who came out of nowhere, pilot? Lieutenant Ash: I don't know. You were attacked by Vasudans, is that true? Lieutenant Ash: No! No! We were in a skirmish with a Vasudan patrol and they just came out of nowhere and killed everyone. Riviera Tech: Sir, you have to calm down. Who attacked you? Was it the Vasudans? Lieutenant Ash: Vasudans were killed, too. What is your situation? Lieutenant Ash: Oh thank God! My wing was ambushed. Come in, anybody! Mayday! Requesting immediate assistance! Anyone please?! Riviera Tech: Barely receiving you, Gamma three-niner, this is Terran outpost Riviera responding. Requesting immediate fighter cover and rescue. Mayday! This is Lieutenant Ash on Terran patrol, wing Gamma three-niner reporting. No data is available on the system it links to, though it can be assumed to be Shivan-controlled.Descent: FreeSpace – The Great War Lieutenant Ash: Oh God! They're following me. The third Knossos portal was discovered by the SOC team in the binary system, approximately 150 kilometers from the node leading back to the nebula. It was the major entry point for the Sathanas fleet into the nebula (perhaps the only one) and was only traversed once by GTVA forces, when a small exploration team of Special Operations Command operatives in captured SF Mara-class fighters went through in an attempt to gain information about the massing Shivan fleet. The second Knossos portal was discovered by pilots from the GVD Psamtik in the Shivan nebula, and led to the Binary System beyond. Before that time, the scientific team studying the device was able to gather enough information such that something similar could conceivably be constructed to reestablish contact with the Sol system. As the only easily accessible example of this device, it was extensively studied, but was eventually destroyed by Allied demolition teams in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent the Shivans' entry into the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance's core systems. Hargrove's team continues to study the device, though their findings are highly classified.ĭiscovered in Gamma Draconis by NTF forces, and activated by the NTC Trinity, this device connected GTVA space with the nebula. The interlocking circular motions of its components apparently create a subspace vortex that connects the Gamma Draconis system to another part of our universe. The subspace portal was discovered in the Gamma Draconis system in 2367. Prolonged use of a Knossos can cause a node to completely restabilize, so that if the Knossos is destroyed or deactivated, the node remains usable. To sum up the functioning of the device, the interlocking circular motions of its components creates a subspace vortex that assists in stabilizing jump corridors otherwise too unstable to be used safely. Information concerning this project are limited due to ongoing (at the time of FreeSpace 2) technical and engineering evaluations on the technology. Historical findings suggests that portals such as the Knossos were used to connect parts of the Ancients' once vast empire to another throughout the galaxy. Mina Hargrove determined that the portal was constructed by the Ancients. The Knossos Device is an Ancient-designed subspace portal, the first instance of it discovered in the Gamma Draconis system in 2367.
