Wing Commander is a legendary space simulator with a first-person view in a sci-fi setting. The Confederacy has been at war with the alien Kilrathi for the past 20 years, and you are only now joining the Vega campaign. You will play the role of a 2nd lieutenant who has just graduated from the flight academy. On assignment you are sent to Tiger Claw — flagship of the Confederacy. It depends only on your actions whether you will lead humanity to victory or accept all the bitterness of defeat on your heart.
