Ten Years of Academy Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Happy ten year anniversary, Wing Commander Academy! It was ten years ago last Thursday that the first episode, Red and Blue, premiered as part of the USA Network's Saturday morning lineup. For the next several months, Wing Commander fans enjoyed thirteen new adventures of the Tiger's Claw and her fighter wing. Academy was always the topic of discussion on IRC, at the Chat Zone and on the UseNet... and it's easy to see why -- far from being an ordinary cash-in spinoff, the Academy team took the time to use the same ships, history and even actors as the Wing Commander games did. It's since become an essential part of the WC continuity!

Back in those days, the only information about the series available was a short press release and episode names which occasionally appeared at USA's rarely updated website. Fans today are much luckier -- just look at the material we have available now:

Most importantly, though, we have the episodes themselves. Download them and enjoy!

P2 Fan Novel Printing Soon Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Deacan reports that he's ready to print another batch of his German fan novel das Erwachen - Sturm. The story is inspired by Privateer 2 and was envisioned as the first part of a trilogy. New cover art has been created for this edition. Deacan has to order and pay for a certain number of copies soon, so he's interested in finding out exactly how many people are serious about picking up a copy. The price looks like it will be about 17 Euros plus shipping. There isn't a firm arrival date yet, but the order will be processed within the next couple weeks. Check out this post at Crius.net for confirmation info if you'd like Deacan to make a copy for you.
Book One "The Awakening - Storm" mainly tells the story of Ser Deacan Tron, his fight against a mercenaries guild and the strange behaivior of a pirate clan...
