We are ready to unveil information on flagship campaign of Wing Commander Saga, “Front Line of the Devil”.
ABOUT Wing Commander Saga: Front Line of the Devil
The flagship campaign of Wing Commander Saga, “Front Line of the Devil” begins right before Wing Commander 3 and concludes with the ending of the Terran-Kilrathi War (whether or not the Terrans win depends on you).
It has been six months after the Battle of Earth, and inspite of new fighters, carriers, and technology joining the Fleet, the War Effort is not going well. Everyday, more news of fresh defeats and losses make their way around the Confederation Forward Fleet, who have to face the possiblity that they will not be the ultimate victors.
You are based on the TCS Hermes, one of the handful of large carriers left on the front line. You play the role of Second Lieutenant David Markham, a pilot recently transferred to the Hermes.
Markham is no different from the other young idealistic rookies who are determined to make a name for themselves. Getting your commission right after the Battle of Earth, you dream of flying daring strike missions from fleet carriers.
But all hopes and dreams are squashed by the burden of reality. In every system, the Confederation forces are badly outnumbered and outgunned. For every Kilrathi fighter and warship destroyed, 10 others takes their place. Comms from HQ order the abandonment of civilian colonies which the Confederation no longer has any strength to defend. The retreat is downward spiral leading to the final stand at Earth.
It won’t be very long till Markham experiences what true nature War really is…
