Wing Commander Universe (WCU) is a collaborative project to create a freeform space exploration and trading game based on the Wing Commander series of games by Origin Systems Inc. during the 1990s. The initial WCU effort spawned the game Privateer Remake, a remake of Origin's game Privateer.

Wing Commander Universe is really two things;

• 1. Development Suite for all Wing Commander projects using the Vegastrike Engine.
• 2. Blank package name for all Wing Commander games, Past, Present and Future. This includes, but is not limited to:
  • Wing Commander I (Remake)
  • Wing Commander II: Vengeance of the Kilrathi (Remake)
  • Privateer (Remake)
  • Privateer - Righteous Fire (Remake)
  • Privateer: Part 3 (Original: Colloquially referred to as "the WCU storyline")
  • Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger (Remake)
  • Wing Commander IV: Price of Freedom (Remake)
  • Wing Commander Prophecy (Remake)
  • Wing Commander: The Wasteland Incident (Original)
