Ships of the Animated Series: Avenger

Our final "hidden" ship is the only one which originated with Wing Commander IV -- and it's another very brief cameo. The Union of Border Worlds' Avenger-class Torpedo Bomber shows up as the pirate shuttle that captures Blair and Maniac in Episode 3, "The Last One Left." Since so little is known about the backgrounds of the three 'spit and glue' militia fighters seen in Wing Commander IV, it's certainly quite possible for the Avenger to have been built as early as 2654!

Movie in Germany

Bakhtosh writes to tell us that the Wing Commander movie will be shown on the Sci Fi channel in Germany. This is a pay network, which you can subscribe to through a service called Premiere. You can find German synopsis' here and here. The movie will air October 1st at 8:15 PM and then again on October 2nd at 12:45 AM.Bakhtosh was also kind enough to scan the printed schedule for us, which you can find below (it's also a cool look at what German TV is like, for people from other countries)!
