28:46: I actually like how this cutscene connects itself with the FS2 intro cutscene by ensuring the wreckage of what appears to be a Demon-class cruiser on Deneb; as it turns out, it's actually wreckage from the Hades itself. Heck, ST: R even resolves a plot problem by making sure that the Orion-class destroyer seen on Deneb at FS2 is actually a GTI ship designated the GTD Legion, not the GTD Galatea as originally and erroneously thought.
For a fanmade mod remake of a hated expansion pack, the creators of this mod really outdid themselves pretty well, and the best part, it's fully completed (no offense, Blue Planet and The Ancient-Shivan War).
Weeeel, Age of Aquarius is complete and the "we fly against GTA" is not realy needed. What is needed you learn in the final Blue Planet cutscene, a big portion of the most modern warships ever moved to earth, that said, 90% the vasudans would went for full "help earth" as they LOST Their homeworld, while the GTA wants to CONQUER theirs, thus abandoning ALL the GTVA is build uppon. Their Warriros with honor they would switch sides regardless. And most older captains that saw the second great war would also turn their ships and crews against the GTA and help the earth against that corupt govenrment. If a Fleet Admiral, that already had doubts about that order, turns and faces his own comrads, then entire fleets would follow.
Why do I have the feeling that the intro and outro narrator is not only the GTI Alpha One, but also Aken Bosch himself? Edit: OK, thanks to Eltrotraw who reminded me again of this comment, both the intro and outro narrators are said to be different people (the intro guy being someone from GTI's upper echelons, and the outro guy probably being the player character himself... though the implication that he's a young Aken Bosch still stands).
Ignoring that they're different voices in the intro and outro, I disagree on the merit that the tonality is different on both monologues. They're both philosophical and dealing with the aftermath of war, but one is more of a premonition while the other one feels much more hopeful.
