You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((italic title))
Several '''novels''' based on the '''''[[Wing Commander (franchise)|Wing Commander]]''''' games have been released by [[Baen Books]].

==''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: Vengeance of the Kilrathi|Wing Commander II]]'' and ''[[Wing Commander III|III]]''). Published by Baen Books in 1992

''Freedom Flight'' was written by [[Mercedes Lackey]] and [[Ellen Guon]].

==''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''. Published by Baen Books in 1994

''End Run'' was written by [[Christopher Stasheff]] and [[William R. Forstchen]].

==''Fleet Action''==
Published in 1994 and written by [[William R. Forstchen]], ''Fleet Action'' concerns a false [[armistice]] offered by the [[Kilrathi]] Empire, and the efforts of a few [[Terran Confederation (Wing Commander)|Terran Confederation]] soldiers to circumvent it.

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 and so they try to lure the Confederation into a trap and sue for a false peace. However, some daring Confed personnel try to prove the existence of the secret Kilrathi fleet and in the end, the fate of humanity is decided in a gigantic battle for Earth. The novel is set after ''End Run'' and before ''Wing Commander III''.

Because of the novel's popularity, a [[fan-made]] project, [http://standoff.solsector.net/ Wing Commander: Standoff], has brought the novel into gameplay using ''Wing Commander Prophecy''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> "Vision" engine. As of April 10, 2009, the project has been completed.

== ''Heart of the Tiger'' ==
((main|Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger#Novelization))
A novelization of ''Wing Commander III'', it is written by [[J. Andrew Keith|Andrew Keith]] and William R. Forstchen and published by Baen Books in 1995. Though it ignores a number of the game's more trivial missions, it adds a great deal more personality to the crew of TCS Victory, and includes a scene that was cut from the actual game: an explanation from a traitor, explaining their otherwise-incomprehensible behavior (the game itself was criticized for excluding this vital scene, although the later [[3DO Interactive Multiplayer|3DO]] and [[PlayStation]] versions of the game did include it along with other scenes that were originally shot but not included in the PC version).

== ''The Price of Freedom'' ==
((main|Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom#Novel))
A novelization of ''Wing Commander IV'', it is written by Ben Ohlander and William R. Forstchen and published by Baen Books in 1995. It departs significantly from the plot of the video game: it trivializes several significant characters and plot developments, and totally rewrites game-established Border Worlds technology.

==''Action Stations''==
The novel tells the story of the beginnings of the war, twenty years before the first game.

An interesting detail about this story is that it is presented as a historical drama, from the point of view of an author writing about the beginning of the war many years after the fact.

Several events in the novel bear more than a passing resemblance to the events before and during the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.

''Action Stations'' was written by William R. Forstchen.

==''False Colors''==
Published in 1998, the book was written by [[J. Andrew Keith]] and [[William R. Forstchen]]. Although [[William H. Keith]], Andrew's brother, was incorrectly credited on the front cover, Andrew Keith's name appears as co-author throughout the text.<ref>William R. Forstchen and William H. Keith [Andrew Keith], ''False Colors'' (Riverdale, NY: Baen Books, 1998). The Keith brothers used and shared pseudonyms, most notably as Keith William Andrews in the ''Freedom Rangers'' series. See, "William H. Keith." ''Contemporary Authors Online''. Detroit: Gale, 2013. Accessed 13 Apr. 2016.</ref>

After the end of the Kilrathi war, powerful Kilrathi warlords are not satisfied with the peace and remain aggressive towards the Confederation and other organizations like the Landreich. Operatives of the Landreich try to salvage a Kilrathi supercarrier left over from the war to prevent a warlord from starting a second human-Kilrathi war.

Set after ''Wing Commander III'' and before ''Wing Commander IV'', ''False Colors'' was intended as the first part of a trilogy. Co-author Andrew Keith died on August 7, 1999, before he could begin on the other books.<ref>On the death of Keith, see his obituary in the ''Pennsylvania Tribune Review'', August 8, 1999.</ref>

==''Wing Commander''==
((main|Wing Commander (film)#Novelization))
A novelization of the original movie script, which includes a traitor subplot filmed but cut from the final release. ''Wing Commander'' was written by Peter Telep.

==''Pilgrim Stars''==
The second part of the movie novelization trilogy, ''Pilgrim Stars'' deals with a Pilgrim rebellion against the ruling Confederation. ''Pilgrim Stars'' was written by Peter Telep.

==''Pilgrim Truth''==
The conclusion to the movie novel trilogy, ''Pilgrim Truth'' was never published.  ''Pilgrim Truth'' was written by Peter Telep. It was finally released in 2011 with blessings by [[Electronic Arts]] and distributed through WCNews.com in online, mobi and epub versions.<ref>http://www.wcnews.com/articles/truth/prologue.shtml Pilgrim Truth</ref>
