Busted Ships Provide a Tantalizing Glimpse Into the 28th Century

While taking apart Wing Commander Arena I discovered that there are four different wrecked fighter models in the Boneyard map!

Charon System — The Boneyard

Welcome to hell! The Boneyard is the largest debris field in the sector. It began in 2655 when the Tiger’s Claw squadron fought a hard retreat through the area, riddling the asteroid belt with military debris. Since that time, it has come to encompass thousands of derelict ships and millions of asteroids. The Boneyard is for expert pilots only: success here requires that a pilot navigate between rocks and through the channels and tunnels that riddle larger planetoids. It’s also an excellent chance to turn a profit as the field is littered with useful salvage and even the rocks themselves are overflowing with priceless Gotherian crystals.

Analysis: In an example of galactic irony the home of the hellish boneyard is also the location of the largest Kilrathi pleasure world ever established. The notorious warpalaces on Charon III have been quenching warriors’ thirsts for generations. Humans are advised to visit with caution, as Kilrathi customs are often distinctly different than their own. Still, the chance to experience a live k’g’harg ceremony is worth the price of admission.
