Here
is the story of the movie for all of you who don't want to download
it.The story in the movies goes like this: First the closeup of
one caracter (the colonist) getting ready for hybernation, then
the camera pulls out and we see a lot of the colonists and then
camera starts to move even further till it becomes clear that the
colonists are in enormous ships. The there is a map of the solar
system in which there is the great war going on. We come to Jupiter
sector which is under attack. We see large space battle with great
graphics and lot of explosions. Then the ships are launched and
we see that one of them is called Liberty. There is a big battle
and the ships are under threat but make it through the blocade and
enter lightspeed to escape. The attack continues and the Earth is
attacked. Lot of earth defence ships lounch and go toward the enemy
but then some great translucid ship appears which was hidden until
then. This ship launches some superweapon towards the sun and dissapears.
The sun explodes and destroys the whole solar system. Everything
is destroyed but we see that one ship has suvived. It launches and
travels through the destroyed solar system following the great ships.
The we see the FreeLancer logo and the small ship arrives to some
distant planet. It starts to land and we see one of the great ships
on the surface. The ship is partially dissasembled and the colony
has been built arround it. Then the small ship lands and the view
changes and small colony becomes a great city built arround the
great ship. That's it, 7 minutes of video. Maybe I got it wrong
because I watched it without sound. I'll get a sound
card and see it again and then will post a follow up.

UPDATE!
I
watched the movie with sound and here is the full story. The first
part of the text above is right. The war I mentioned is a war between
Alliance and Coalition which has lasted for hundreds of years. Coalition
is winning and the Alliance decides to launch 5 colonist ships towards
Sirius. Liberty, Rheinland, Hispania, Kusari and Bretonia are the
names of the ships based on their founding nations. Alliance is
nearly beaten and they decide to mount the last stand on Pluto.
That is the planet being attacked not Earth as I said above. Then
the Nomads appear and launch their superweapon towards the sun.
Only by blind luck a young general survives and decides to follow
the colonists to warn them about the Nomad threat. General is called
Atticus Rockford (I hope I spelled it correctly). That's it... sorry
about that :).
