...there is something called Mission "Serenity" under specials. Where is that name taken from? It is a full feature film released in 2005 and it's just called "Serenity", both on box cover and in its opening title. It tells the story after the TV series. Why is it called Mission "Serenity"?

no, it's definitely a movie, there was no other Firefly related productions. release date, synopsis and trailer are all related to a film. which is obviously not allowed here, because it's a theatrical release.

deleting it now.

When I added screen captures for it (which are now gone with the movie), I also uploaded cover for it under general Gallery under posters so you can delete that as well. Thank you.

Although there was a later Firefly movie (2005) Titled "Serenity", the first, initially unbroadcast double episode of Firefly was also called "Serenity".  This was the original pilot for Firefly, and was intended to introduce the cast and set the scene.  "The Train Job" ended up as the first broadcast episode and "Serenity" wasn't shown until right at the end of the season, after the show had been cancelled.
