The TCS Victory was a Ranger-class Light Carrier in the Wing Commander universe. Her first appearance was in the computer game Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger.
About
The TCS Victory was an old, re-commisioned carrier that was put in the front lines during the Terran-Kilrathi War beacuse of heavy losses incurred during the Battle of Earth. The Victory's captain was CAPT. William Eisen, who commanded the ship for many years and is proud of it. The Victory was not in top-knotch shape. The ship appeared pretty shabby and worn down. The air filters weren't working well, making the flight deck smell horrible. Christopher Blair, by orders of Admiral Geoffrey Tolwyn, was transferred to the Victory as Wing Commander.
The Victory's services in the Terran-Kilrathi War were highly notable. The Victory served as the testing ground for Confed's new prototype starfighter, the F-103A Excalibur heavy fighter. She was also involved in the Locanda colonies crisis, where the Kilrathi deployed their newly-developed "Skipper" cruise missile, which is equipped with a cloaking device, and a genetically-engineered bioweapon. Another notable assignment was when the Victory was assigned to escort and defend Confed's Behemoth class Dreadnought; the TCS Behemoth. The Behemoth was a superweapon, much like the Death Star from the Star Wars Universe, but down-sized to a large capital ship, and was assigned to destroy Kilrah. However, a traitor amongst the ranks of the TCS Victory transmitted the weaknesses of the TCS Behemoth to the Kilrathi, allowing the Kilrathi to launch an attack on the Behemoth and destroying it. The Victory's most highly notable assignment was when Christopher Blair launches the Temblor bomb, a bomb designed to disrupt a planet's seismic activities and destroy the planet, on Kilrah, destroying the planet and ending the Terran-Kilrathi War.
Following the war, the TCS Victory was made into an orbiting museum, showing to everyone that the Victory, although an old and run-down ship, played a very important role in the Terran-Kilrathi War.
