Lucky Thirteen
DRAsvitt is back... and he's been hard at work! Check out these thirteen Wing Commander ships he created... and for good measure, the new (old?) USS Enterprise is there, too.

WCM Update
Bloodfang was kind enough to forward us a pair of screenshots from the upcoming Wing Commander Marines project. Check out the Hellcat V and a new level screenshot... Bloodfang further reports that he's been working hard on coding, and that the Kilrathi AI is currently on his plate.

The Poland/Tangy Conspiracy!
If you've been around forever (since October 13th, 1998), you may remember this unusual difference of images from the original Secret Ops release and the Prophecy Gold site...
By comparing the Flash and HTML versions of the Secret Ops site, Hades and I discovered something else... this thing goes deeper than we can imagine!

Lost Fiction Archived
Thanks to Chris, we also located the second piece of lost Secret Ops fiction. This was mistakenly posted to alt.games.wing-commander by Boomer about two months before SO was released... and he asked everyone to disregard it, since it spoiled the game. Oddly, the topics brought up in the e-mail never really appeared in the game. Here it is, for posterity:

All intelligence analysis lead us to believe the Aliens entered in our system to look for some specific object or technology. The military incursion was only a diversion. This is evidenced by the fact all after-action battle reports clearly indicate that loss of life or equipment (to include capital ships) meant nothing to the hive. Of greater importance to the Aliens was the mission to locate the object.
Further, post encounter analysis of their collective behavorial attributes indicate the location of the subject of their mission was indeed discovered
It is therefore expected we may be witnessing the emergence of a secondary wormhole likely constructed during (or prior) to the recent encounter to ensure the delivery of the artifact.
Summary: The most alarming aspect of the post-encounter analysis is that even though in each case we won the battle it appears they did succeed in their ultimate goal.
It is then imperative we clearly understand all of our knowledge of the Bugs is thus far based on pure speculation. Their true motivations are not explained solely by their invasion.

From: CIS Headquarters, Special Ops. Div.
The CIS command seeks an expert stealth pilot to take on a sabotage situation. It appears that a vital CIS communications satellite has ceased to respond. Reports are sketchy at the moment, but it is believed that it is the target of a terrorist attack and a bomb may have been placed on board. We have a disarming device that can be used on the bomb if you manage to tractor the unit in. Be careful there may be a time limit on the device. DO NOT at all costs destroy the satellite or lasertowers. If you decide to take this mission proceed to Nav Point 149.
