...Taking place in the outer reaches of space, Wing Commander begins in the midst of a war raging between the Earth-centered Confederation and the hostile cat-race of the Kilrathi. The Kilrathi, having captured a Confederation navigation unit, are on their way to besiege Earth. Rookie pilot Christopher Blair is entrusted to prevent the impending Kilrathi assault. Blair's heritage as a pilgrim of the first settlers of space endowed with mysterious superhuman navigation powers is particularly overplayed and seems to be cashing in on the anticipation for the new Star Wars prequel due out this spring.

As in all the other versions of this story, they succeed, but eventually receive a morally satisfying comeuppance...
Nashville's Blair Atcheynum tied it on a 2-on-1 with Rob Valicevic. Valicevic, who had been called up from the minors earlier in the day to replace the injured Greg Johnson, faked a shot on right wing and passed behind Sergei Zubov to a wide-open Atcheynum...
