Fill in the Gaps With Fan Fiction
The Kiat has put together a compact Weebly page about Wing Commander. He's collected various universe history sources and fan fiction stories in one easily accessible place with the goal of fleshing out the universe's backstory. In the '90s there were hundreds of similar homemade websites dedicated to Wing Commander. Way back in 1996, maintaining a section of links to the world of Wing Commander on the web use to be a staffer's full time job! However, building a small hobby site hasn't been in style for quite a while. As that's how most of us got our start, we find webpages like this very charming. You can visit WC 'Reboot' for yourself here.My goals are to flesh out the war and produce a more extensive timeline, as well as explore other campaigns and sides of the war. A war is more than a single fighter pilot trying to win it all by his lonesome.There are more ships out there than the Tiger's Claw, Concordia or even Victory. There are cruisers, battleships, destroyers, frigates, corvettes and so on. Wars might be fought in space, but they would be won on the ground. A planet is a large place, and its conquest could require millions upon millions of soldiers over a year to complete. Let us not forget the civilian side of the war, which was almost never touched. Lastly, each war has at least two sides. The Kilrathi perspective is left mostly untouched. I like much of what was developed for the Kilrathi, but in this reboot I strive to make them more like lions, more alien, and less like WWII's Japanese Empire. The reboot will see its share of carrier-based action, but that would be just the tip of the story.
