Expansion for	Wing Commander: Privateer
Release Date	February 24, 1994

Introduction

Wing Commander Privateer: Righteous Fire is an expansion to Wing Commander: Privateer. It continued with the protagonist Burrows on vacation. While away from his craft, cultists steal his prized Steltek gun to study and replicate it. The Church of Man cult used these replicas aboard ships supplied by the Kilrathi to mount a campaign against technology in the Gemini Sector. The player must make the rounds, check with all his various contacts and discover clues in order to bring the Retro plot down.

Description

Box Back Cover

Privateer Righteous Fire

Welcome Back to the Edge of the Unknown

So you think you're a hotshot pilot. A clever entrepreneur. A notorious pirate. You've destroyed the Steltek Drone, secured the alien artifact, and outfought and outsmarted everyone in your way. Now, you're taking a well-deserved break on one of Gemini's pleasure worlds. But relaxation will soon be the last thing on your mind...

In Righteous Fire, you're once again transported to the seamy side of the universe, where you discover a fiendish plot that threatens the order and prosperity of Gemini Sector. Whether you're a merchant, pirate or mercenary, plenty of action awaits if you're willing to risk all you earned in Privateer.

• Extend the career of your original Privateer character and ship as you undertake new money-making journeys through Gemini Sector!
• Engage in higher-profit trade ventures as you barter and scrimp to equip your ship with new hardware.
• Decide your own course of action and choose among multiple fixers. If you find a better offer elsewhere, take it!
• Unveil a startling discovery in Gemini Sector as you find out why law and order are dissolving into chaos.

NOT A COMPLETE GAME. You must own Privateer to play Righteous Fire.
