=< 1.  INTRODUCTION >=

FreeSpace: Vasudan Imperium is a campaign set during The Great War, from a Vasudan point of view.  It is what is called a 'Gaiden' story, where the same events transpire, but the story is told from a different perspective.  There are many new missions, and a few familiar ones, as well as some surprises along the way.  This is also the first campaign from the FreeSpace Port team to require the use of FreeSpace Open, so expect plenty of special features too.

You must have retail FreeSpace 2, FreeSpace Port 3.2, Media VPs 3.6.12, FreeSpace Port 3.2/3.6.12 MediaVPs, and FreeSpace Open 3.6.12 installed.  Unpack the 'Vasudan Imperium' package into your FS2 directory, and it should create a new subfolder for FSPort_VI.  Select this folder from the MOD tab of the Launcher, then select "Vasudan Imperium" from the campaign room.

While it is recommended you create a new pilot for each mod you play, there are no reported issues with using your FreeSpace Port or Silent Threat: Reborn pilot for this campaign.
