Set in the 27th century, the games tell the story of humanity's war against the Kilrathi, an alien species of large feline bipeds. Humanity is organised in the Terran Confederation and the player is part of the Confederation's space forces. Launching from carrier ships, the player fulfils various missions in starfighters. The games were all notable for their storytelling through extensive cutscenes. Starting with Wing Commander III, all story scenes used live action filming, starring some major Hollywood actors, including John Rhys-Davies, Mark Hamill, and Malcolm McDowell.

Television Series: Wing Commander Academy

Wing Commander Academy was a thirteen-episode animated series that originally aired on the USA Network between September 21 and December 21, 1996. The series is before the events of the first game and features many familiar ships and characters, some of them appearing out of chronological order (such as the F-57 Sabre). The cast featured Mark Hamill, Tom Wilson, and Malcolm McDowell reprising their Wing Commander game roles.

Novels

Several novels based on the games have been released by Baen Books. They usually closely adhere to the continuity of the games.

Freedom Flight

The novel describes the Firekka campaign of the Tiger's Claw, featuring also the defection of Lord Ralgha (known as Hobbes in Wing Commander II).

Freedom Flight was written by Mercedes Lackey and Ellen Guon.

Wing Commander: End Run

The novel tells the story of a daring Confederation plan to weaken the Kilrathi Imperial family by attacking the planet of Vukar Tag. A strike force led by the TCS Tarawa must head to the heart of the Kilrathi Empire to divert part of the Kilrathi fleet. Set after Special Operations II and before Wing Commander III.

End Run was written by Christopher Stasheff & William R. Forstchen.

Wing Commander: Fleet Action

The Kilrathi have been severely weakened by the most recent Confederation attacks and their new fleet of secretly built carriers will not be finished for another year. So they try to lure the Confederation into a trap and sue for a false peace.
