- This all started /w BTRL – Beyond the Red Line was a total conversion for the game FreeSpace 2
- On March 31, 2007, a demo for Beyond the Red Line was released that allowed players to play a tutorial, two single player missions and multiplayer.
- In October 2008, the majority of the team announced that they had left the Beyond the Red Line development team to work on a different project, known as Diaspora
- 4 years later ze Diaspora Development team releases Shattered Armistice.
- If the first five minutes of the game fails to produce nerd chills ..you are dead inside.
- multiplayer missions against your friends as Colonial or Cylon forces.
- Completely voice acted throughout ;)
- Original soundtrack inspired by the show
