Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi is the first sequel in Chris Roberts Wing Commander series, produced by Origin Systems, released on September 4th 1991.
Gameplay
Wing Commander II retains much of the first game's core conventions: an interstellar war between the Terran Confederation and the felinoid warrior race called the Kilrathi, multiple allies as wingmen, and a wide variety of ships on both sides of the war. However, it places a greater emphasis on storytelling, providing various sprite-animated cutscenes and some of the industry's first examples of voice acting. The storyline is also somewhat less open-ended: the game's campaign tree is much more structured and the player character can no longer be promoted or awarded medals. Wingmen can no longer be killed during normal gameplay; when their fighters are damaged beyond repair, they eject, albeit some die in scripted sequences.
Because the story is a direct sequel to Wing Commander I, many Kilrathi ships have names similar to the Wing Commander ships they replace, such as the Sartha replacing the Salthi, and the Confederation using an upgraded version of the Rapier medium fighter.
