Fan additions
The TCS Kipling appears in Wing Commander: Standoff, which is based on the novel Fleet Action, in Episode 5. There she was in the Sol System in the process of being decomissioned. When the Kilrathi broke the Armistice in 2668, the Confederation wasn't able to reactivate her in time for the Battle of Earth. However, her complement of Rapier IIs were transferred over to the Wake-Class Escort Carrier CVE TCS Firekka.
The TCS Kipling is also the homebase of the Player in Wing Commander: Unknown Enemy, which takes place during Wing Commander: Prophecy. There she was sold to the Union of Border Worlds and renamed into BWS Dauntless. She was meant to be decomissioned and her fighter wings to be transferred over to the BWS Intrepid in the Kurasawa System, however the former one was destroyed by the Nephilim and after their Invasion in that System was stopped by the combined efforts of the BWS Dauntless, the KIS Zu'Baka (a Fralthi-class Cruiser) and the TCS Eisen, the Decision for Decomission was revoked.
