Storyline

Barracks, TCS Concordia

PALADIN ...and so, without thrusters, I used my momentum to skirt the event horizon... "...swinging around behind the Dorkir just as it fired on you." HOBBES You've told that tale a thousand times... ...and each time it gets a little taller, as you humans say. PALADIN Is that so? Why, ye scruffy, flea-bitten... DOWNTOWN Don't mind them, Maverick. They always go on like this. MAVERICK I had no idea they got along so well. PALADIN Your deal, Christopher. MAVERICK Five card draw, gentlemen. PALADIN Let me tell you, lad, Ralgha and I have been friends for years. This sorry excuse for a dustmop saved my life, back at Ghorah Khar. HOBBES I had nothing better to do, at the time. DOWNTOWN Hobbes, wake up and get your cards. HOBBES Sorry. I open for fifteen. DOWNTOWN See that and raise ten. MAVERICK And ten more. PALADIN My hand's a wee bit lackin'. I'm out. DOWNTOWN Anyone beat a jack-high straight? Didn't think so... PALADIN Maverick, you look a bit troubled. MAVERICK It's Angel...she seems a little distracted. PALADIN Maverick, dinna worry about that lass. Her head's on straight for sure. MAVERICK Some people say I'm using her... PALADIN Hush, lad! Anyone who knows you, knows better. Angel's a fine pilot and a bonny lass. And any lad who'd let her get away is as fur-brained as Ralgha! HOBBES Again, I wonder why I bothered to save this scoundrel's life... PALADIN Because ye're an impeccable judge of character, Ralgha. And you are too, lad. Follow ye're heart and talk be damned.

Mission Briefing

EDMOND Captain Blair, report to the Flight Deck for immediate launch!

EDMOND Captain Blair, this is the Concordia. Do you copy? MAVERICK Roger, Concordia, loud and clear. EDMOND Your flight path has been programmed into your Nav computer. MAVERICK Affirmative, Concordia. STINGRAY Angel assigned me as your wingman for this run, Christopher. MAVERICK Glad to have you with me again, Stingray. EDMOND Maverick, we've detected a destroyer ... ...in your designated strike zone. We don't know why that ship is still in system... ...but we're not going to let them rejoin the Strike Force. That destroyer is a target of opportunity... ...and maybe we can start the payback for what happened on Tesla. We expect they'll have a fighter escort, so be careful. You will escort the William Tell to the attack zone. The Concordia will continue on her current course ... ...and we will rendezvous after your mission. Good luck. Concordia out.

Errors

• The Wing Commander I & II Ultimate Strategy guide incorrectly lists the Ambush as Drakhri instead of Sartha and the Task Force as having a second Ralatha which does not appear.
