Wing commander privateer galaxy map8/23/2023 Thus suggesting earth history and culture. Greek names are utilized such as Hermes, Hephaestus, Hades and Achilles (and his heel) for examples are mentioned as well. You also find decidedly earth based names, several that are decidedly modern (as in not a couple of hundred year old references earth timeline wise). That being said jump gate technology and the potential to make artificial jump gates is ahead of the CIS in some ways, even if it has limited the people of the tri-system to those systems. Jump gates technology are limited and have kept humans confined to the Tri-System region (there are known jumps between Tri-System and outside areas according to the Prophecy map). the artificial jump gates were invented by CIS, while jump drive was invented by Confederation. Terraforming is invented in both the tri-system CIS scientists (Ernst Kugelbender), and by the Confederation presumably on earth (James Taggert's parents were terraforming engineers for example). However, there are some weird anomalies too.įor example parallel technology development. If its roughly parallel as in not that old compared to there own ships it might offer something useful (perhaps an independent 'jump drive' which the people of Tri-System appear to lack). If its a very old ship, this wouldn't make sense, as their own technology probably surpasses it. Act like it represents important technology. Note: That several factions are interested in getting there hands on the Talon, having never seen one before. It could be set before Wing Commander V chronologically (Tri-System is known about in that game), it could be set far in the future, or possibly before or during Privateer 1 (the Talon, a ship common to Privateer I appears in both games). If so this means that Privateer 2 may occur anywhere in relation to the Confederation timeline. Year 0 may be the date that humans colonized Anhur, and 2790 being the latest date since that event. Which either means the Tri-System has its own new calendar system, or it was founded by humans that had been kidnapped and brought to the Tri-System.Įven if humans were brought over in medieval times by aliens and colonized the planets there, they still may not be using a Gregorian calendar, but Julian or something else entirely. 790 AD (or earlier)! Humans didn't have technology back then. If that is based on the Gregorian calendar that would mean that the earliest planet colonized in the Tri-System Anhur was colonized by humans in c. Humans colonized Anhur first, and spread from there. IIRC, the humans/humanoids in the Tri-System have been there for at least two thousand years (perhaps more). I'm not sure if the ingame dates relate to WC Universes regular Gregorian calendar. It has it's own unique setting and story. Still it's not a direct sequel in that it doesn't continue the storyline from Privateer. Awesomead: There's a few things in game that connect it to the rest of the WC universe, but that doesn't matter since it takes place a hundred years later than everything else anyway.
