DESCRIPTION

The sequel to the immensely popular Wing Commander, you are once again placed into the battle against the Kilrathi. Gameplay is very consistent with the original. The story begins with the Tiger's Claw being destroyed by three Kilrathi stealth fighters, and you are accused of allowing the carrier to be destroyed because of your negligence. Your claims about the stealth fighters go unbelieved, your career is ruined, and you are assigned to a space station in the backwaters of the known galaxy.

Ten years later, through a strange series of events, you end up on the flagship of the Confederate fleet, the Concordia, where you meet up with some of your old pals who survived the destruction of the Claw: Angel, Spirit, Paladin, Doomsday, and Jazz. Eventually, you defeat the heir to the Kilrathi throne in a one-on-one dogfight (though he ejects to survive to fight again another day), destroy the Kilrathi headquarters in the sector, and find proof that the stealth fighters exist, proving your innocence and restoring your career. ~ Paul Biondich, All Game Guide
