The player takes the role of Grayson Burrows, a "privateer" who travels through the Gemini Sector, one of many sectors in the [[Wing Commander (series)|''Wing Commander'' universe]]. Unlike ''Wing Commander'', the player is no longer a navy pilot, but a freelancer who can choose to be a pirate, a merchant, a mercenary or any of the above in some combination. The player may follow the built-in plot but is free to adventure on his own, even after the plot has been completed. |
