The Humans and Vasudans team up to take down the Shivans. then they discover a 4th race, long extinct, known as the Ancients.

They were annihilated by the Shivans as well.

They unlocked the secret to beat a Shivan super-destroyed, Designated the SD Lucifer. The Lucifer is completely impervious to regular weapons, and has massive Kinetic Barriers. But the Ancients found out that Shields don't work in Subspace. The Lucifer annihilates Human and Vasudan fleets, and manages to even wipe out the Vasudan homeworld, Vega.

The Lucifer is on path to the Sol System, target Earth.

The GTD Bastion, a human Cruiser, is sent to stop the Lucifer, but due to a miscalculation, It jumps out of Sub Space about 12,000 Klicks away from the Lucifer. the Lucifer is merely 6,000 Klicks away from the Jump Node leading to Sol. The Bastion scrambles its fighter squads. The squads jump into Sub Space, Destroy the Lucifer, and Earth is Saved.

But the shock wave that came from the Lucifer destabilizes the Jump node, and Sol is cut off from the rest of the Galaxy. The End (of FreeSpace 1)
