Genre: Simulator
You may be the hottest pilot in the fleet, but this will cool your jets! In Wing Commander you blast your way through the Vega Campaign. You'd better be as good as your reputation because the stakes are too high to play it safe. Just when you think that the action can't get any more intense, or the opposition any stiffer, you'll plunge into Wing Commander II. Disgraced and unjustly court-martialed, you have to prove yourself once again and earn the respect of the Confederation High Command. Of course, there is also the little matter of preventing the destruction of the Terran home-worlds.
While the Tiger' Claw was attacking the K'tithrak Mang, you encountered several fighters that faded mysteriously from sight. Even your radar couldn’t track them! Not wanting to panic the Claw over what you thought to be a radar malfunction, you went looking for the ghostly fighters. The search delayed your return to the Claw just long enough for the fighters to destroy the hapless carrier. Landing on the TCS Austin, you learned that you were the only pilot to encounter these "stealth" fighters. Furthermore, your flight recorder disk mysteriously disappeared right after you landed. Brought before a general court martial, you were charged with treason, and your claims about stealth fighters were ignored. A lack of evidence led to the treason charges being reduced to mere negligence, but you incurred the wrath of certain flag officers, Admiral Tolwyn among them. Your career appeared to be over. But you're still a pilot in the Terran Confederation Navy and in Wing Commander II, your goal is to defeat the Kilrathi enemy. Each mission you fly (and your success or failure in each mission) affects the Confederation's chances for ultimate victory.

Morale is at an all-time low... The Confederation's electronic grapevine is running amok with rumors that vital intelligence has been withheld by the High Command. Luckily, Special Operations has its own sources of information, and they say the waiting game just won't cut it any longer. Someone has to lead the way, and you're getting the call! Of course it's a suicide mission - it's Special Operations!

This time the fur really flies... If you thought you could snatch a few Zs after that victory at K'Tithrak Mang, you'd better look for another line of work! The cats are restless and rebellion is brewing throughout Kilrathi slave worlds. As a show of force, the Emperor plans a brutal assault on the rebel populations. Millions of lives are in jeopardy until you and the Special Operations team can blunt the attack. ...and cat-scratch fever isn't your only concern! After a mutiny aboard the TCS Gettysburg, its crew has turned to pirating the trade lanes and preying on Confederation ships. The felines are tough enough, but now you have to engage hardened joystick jockeys with the same combat training, weapons technology and leading-edge ships that you possess! Between the Imperial Kilrathi forces and the pirates aboard the Gettysburg, the balance of power is shifting...and not in the right direction. Still think you can handle it, flyboy? Launch into 20 non-stop missions with the most demanding dogfight scenarios in the award-winning Wing Commander series. Pilot the newly commissioned Crossbow, faster and more maneuverable than any other bomber in the Confederation fleet. Trade missiles, gunfire and insults as you engage relentless new enemies from Kilrah and the Confederation. Meet the brash Lieutenant "Bear" Bondarevsky, flying missions with him and other new Confederation pilots on your wing. Hear the anger, delight and anguish in transmissions form friendly and enemy pilots, with new digitized speech for the Special Operations (available only with Sound Blaster or 100% compatible sound board). Transfer the character you created in Wing Commander II and fly to greater glory. Not a complete game - you must own Wing Commander II to play Special Operations
