Play Wing Commander: The Secret Missions Online

Summary

Wing Commander: The Secret Missions brings the classic space‑combat experience to the SNES with a fresh 16‑mission campaign that slots right into your existing Wing Commander save. You can import your original character and continue the personal quest against the Kilrathi, while the game throws in four brand‑new enemy ship types and a noticeable bump in difficulty. One of the most handy features is the Mission Selector, which lets you tackle any of the 40 legacy missions in any order, giving a sandbox feel to the otherwise linear expansion. The graphics have been polished for the console, delivering sharper sprites and richer backgrounds that make each dogfight feel more immersive. Overall, the stand‑alone cartridge offers a solid blend of familiar wing‑man action and fresh challenges for anyone looking to stretch their piloting skills beyond the base game.

Storyline

In the add‑on’s plot, the Confederation’s heavy cruiser Tiger’s Claw is on maneuvers in the Goddard system when it receives a distress call from the Goddard colony. When the Claw arrives, the colony is a field of wreckage; about a quarter‑million colonists have been slaughtered.

The Confederation quickly attributes the massacre to a new Kilrathi weapon called the Graviton weapon, which can amplify gravity more than a hundredfold. The crew manages to capture a Kilrathi courier ship, and the intercepted data reveals that the weapon is mounted on a brand‑new class of Kilrathi dreadnought, which the CNC codenames the Sivar‑class after their war god.

Bluehair leads a strike force against the Sivar in the Vigrid system and succeeds in destroying the dreadnought. For reasons never explained, no other Sivar‑class ships appear again.
