Wing Commander: From The Ashes is a sim at Phoenix Roleplaying. Set in the universe of Chris Robert's renowned Wing Commander computer games (specifically between the first and second), it focusses on TCS Phoenix, a Yorktown-class light carrier fighting the Kilrathi in 2662.

Summary[]

TCS Phoenix is a ship arisen from the flames. Six months ago, she narrowly survived a Kilrathi attack that cost her 75% of her air wing and then took part in a humiliating withdrawal. She has the taint of cowardice about her - but she has been given the chance to make things right. Having finished her work-up and repair, her group is sent to a small Kilrathi held system. A quick in-and-out operation to keep the enemy on its toes. Nice and simple. It would be anything but.

    Phoenix's name naturally derives from the name of the site that it is hosted on, but there was a real world WW2 cruiser called USS Phoenix. That ship is far better known as ARA General Belgrano, began sunk by the British in the Falkands War of 1982.
  • The ship's motto "Semper ardens" is Latin for "Always burning".
