''[[Wing Commander I]]'' was a huge success and ''[[Wing Commander II]]'' was in development during 1991. Origin used their experience with ''The Secret Missions'' to craft a second expansion pack, '''''The Secret Missions 2: Crusade'''''. ''WC2'' was shaping up to be a huge story driven adventure, so the developers took this opportunity to establish a backstory with ''SM2''. Characters such as [[Geoffrey Tolwyn|Tolwyn]], [[Thrakhath nar Kiranka|Thrakhath]], [[Ralgha nar Hhallas|Hobbes]], [[Zachary Colson|Jazz]] and [[Etienne Montclair|Doomsday]] were introduced. The [[TCS Austin |TCS ''Austin'']] appeared as a method for characters such as [[Jeannette Devereaux|Angel]] to survive the impending doom facing the ''[[Tiger's Claw]]'' in the ''WC2'' intro. In each ''Wing Commander'' game the character must face the potential death of wingmates, but in ''SM2'' the first major scripted loss occurred when [[Kien Chen|Bossman]] died. The tension and emotions were ratcheted up another level for this expansion, and the game created a great environment for ''Wing Commander II'' to launch into.

The Secret Missions 2: Crusade was an expansion to the first Wing Commander game and released on April 6th, 1991. Wing Commander I was a huge success and Wing Commander II was in development during 1991. Origin used their experience with The Secret Missions to craft a second expansion pack, The Secret Missions 2: Crusade. WC2 was shaping up to be a huge story driven adventure, so the developers took this opportunity to establish a backstory with SM2. Characters such as Tolwyn, Thrakhath, Hobbes, Jazz and Doomsday were introduced. The TCS Austin appeared as a method for characters such as Angel to survive the impending doom facing the Tiger's Claw in the WC2 intro. In each Wing Commander game the character must face the potential death of wingmates, but in SM2 the first major scripted loss occurred when Bossman died. The tension and emotions were ratcheted up another level for this expansion, and the game created a great environment for Wing Commander II to launch into.
