It has been hypothesized that Shivans may have spent their evolutionary process in a zero-gravity environment. Shivans also have five legs, and can run equally well over a floor or over a ceiling. Shivans have multiple eyes, some of which seem to have the function of compound eyes, not unlike some varieties of insects. The Shivans serve as the primary antagonists of both FreeSpace games, as well as a fair majority of user-made campaigns.Īn intelligence readout related to the Shivans. However, there are many non-canon Shivan theories discussing the possibilities. Their origins and motives remain completely unknown. 32 years later, in 2367, the Shivans returned and the Second Shivan Incursion broke out.Īlthough experiments were performed on live Shivan specimens, very little is known about this species. At terrible cost and a stroke of luck, the joint Terran-Vasudan forces repelled the Shivans, though this victory was temporary. When the Terran-Vasudan War entered its fourteenth year, the Shivans attacked Riviera outpost in Ross 128, initiating the conflict known as the Great War. The Terrans-or alternately, humans-and Vasudans explored subspace and colonized the known galaxy, without any traces of the previously fought Ancient-Shivan War. The first known entry of the Shivans into the known galaxy occurred 8,000 years before the events of FreeSpace, during which the Shivans exterminated a highly advanced civilization, known as the Ancients. The Shivans are a sentient species who likely originated in an unexplored region of space. For a list of destroyer-class vessels, see Destroyer.
