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.

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.
