The first major Confederation strike into the Kilrah System. Strike Force Valkyrie, centered around TCS ''Tarawa'', did massive damage to Kilrathi shipbuilding in the Kilrah System and changed the momentum of the war.
Lt. Col. LaFong was one of the Terran-Kilrathi War's greatest aces. After the war, he sat down and wrote his memoirs of his service during the 2650s and 2660s. Here are those stories.

''The life of a seasoned starfighter pilot isn't all glory and adventure. After years of following orders and losing ships and friends, you are now the sole commander, responsible for heading up a momentous strike against your enemy's homeland - either the Empire of Kilrah or the heart of the Confederation. This war requires real strategy, not just hotshot piloting, and you have to determine where to fight, how to fight, and what ships will get the job done. In Wing Commander Armada, you have the freedom to build your own universe, your own missions and your own campaign.''
''Set in 2790, The Darkening takes place in a remote corner of the Wing Commander universe known as the Tri-System. Planet Anhur has been home to humans for some two thousand years, with the locals having independently developed faster-than-light drives from the Confederation. The futuristic setting lets players utilize advanced jump gates, short-range time travel devices and massive cargo haulers. In addition to the traditional build-up phase and story portions of the game, Privateer 2 peppers the experience with random cinematic mini-plot missions. Certain upgrades are only available once these subplots have been completed, and entire character arcs are explored with recorded video cutscenes separate from the main story.''

Welcome to the Wing Commander Encyclopedia Project!

WCPedia is an experimental project of the Wing Commander Community.

Currently WCPedia has about 5,471 articles.
The project is open to anyone who would like to contribute to creating the ultimate Wing Commander resource.

Helping Out

WCPedia is always looking for more contributors. Getting started can seem daunting, especially if you are new to wiki. The first place for any user to begin is the WCPedia Rules. Here you will find guidelines to follow when creating and adding content. The Help Section has information on article creation and layouts, organization, writing tips, as well as selected walkthroughs for adding content.

If you are unsure how you can help but want to, just ask! We've got lots of jobs that we need help with to create the ultimate Wing Commander resource!

Latest Infoburst

Welcome to the new WCPedia Main Page. From this page you can directly access many of the most important areas of the project. The Wing Commander Products column provides direct links to game and other product landing pages. Product landing pages contain an extensive catalogue of information about a specific product. They are one stop shops for information about each Wing Commander product.

The second column contains the "Terran Knowledge Bank" where articles on every aspect of the Wing Commander universe can be found. Ships to weapons, the timeline to specific events, bases to planets, all can be found in the knowledge bank. It is the master repository for all things Wing Commander. Articles in the Terran Knowledge Bank are written in the style of a 29th century researcher working at the research colony on McAuliffe VI.

The third column links to various Resource areas on the project. Here you can find a massive amount of images, the Downloads section, and others.

The fourth column is the Contribution area. This links to the Help area where various tutorials are located to help users add content.

Privateer 2: The Darkening Landing Page

Set in 2790, The Darkening takes place in a remote corner of the Wing Commander universe known as the Tri-System. Planet Anhur has been home to humans for some two thousand years, with the locals having independently developed faster-than-light drives from the Confederation. The futuristic setting lets players utilize advanced jump gates, short-range time travel devices and massive cargo haulers. In addition to the traditional build-up phase and story portions of the game, Privateer 2 peppers the experience with random cinematic mini-plot missions. Certain upgrades are only available once these subplots have been completed, and entire character arcs are explored with recorded video cutscenes separate from the main story.
