Bandit LOAF said:The shooting script for the Wing Commander movie has three Kilrathi fighters rather than one - Dralthi, Salthi and Krant. The 3D work for the film ended up being a lot more expensive and time-consuming than anyone thought. The Salthi and Krant were 'cut' from the movie at some point - it's not known whether or not any work was actually done on them. At the time the Confederation Handbook went to press, though, it was still possible that they'd be included in the movie - so it has specifications and histories for both fighters.
(Another ship, the Fralthi-class, also wasn't done when the Handbook had to be finished - it appears as an untextured 'intel' model in the book.)

... it's just very, very bad.
Rictheron said:the massive list of things which simply couldn't work based on already existing history/knowledge of Wing Commander
Rictheron said:As such it seems that it we can consider the horridly done Episode 1 as true Star Wars because of Lucas's involvement, or the holiday special, the Zahn books should also be considered as part of the universe.

Rictheron said:It is this inability to fit which is why I personally count the Wing Commander movie as a stand alone product outside of the WC universe.

Over and out.
Some people are WAY too ready to defend a point which in the long run doesn't really mean a thing.
LeHah said:Theres a big difference between something thats canon and an offically licensed product.
dacis2 said:its "C" level canon. Sure, it isn't the Holy Writ, but its something unless you want to count turbolasers speeds in meters per second, and weapon ranges equal to the gun range of today's planes.
