* WhatAnIdiot: An especially egregious case of this comes from Prince Thrakhath at the very start of the third game, where he executes Angel's team of covert operatives and then herself with no interrogations held regarding their infiltration of his ''homeworld''. This would come back to bite his entire race in the ass much later as we learn that they were laying down the groundwork for the Temblor Bomb strike that would ultimately spell doom for the entire Kilrathi Empire. Chalk this one up to his zealous overconfidence in the face of an enemy that seemed on the brink of defeat after a series of disastrous battles had left humanity squarely on the defensive.
** No less egregious is Maverick being wrongly charged with treason in the second game following the loss of the ''Tiger's Claw'' to Kilrathi stealth fighters, which without flight recorder evidence was a story High Command was not willing to even consider as remotely possible. It's a denial they stuck to for a ''full decade'' until it was discovered that a human traitor had set Maverick up as the fall guy for the attack.

** Tom Wilson's interpretation of Maniac (in ''VideoGame/WingCommander III'', ''VideoGame/WingCommander IV'', and ''Prophecy''), actually did a lot to [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap redeem]] him, at least within the context of the FMV footage. He [[EnsembleDarkhorse steals all his scenes]] and is a lot of fun to watch.
** He's even something of a [[TheChewToy Chew Toy]] in ''The Price of Freedom,'' where Maniac's constant snipes fail to get a rise out of Blair--but Marshall falls for Blair's prods ''every time.''

** Humorously enough, you almost ''never'' hear ''Privateer 2'' being shoved into this. Despite the fact it wasn't originally (pun unintended) meant to be a part of the Wing Commander universe. This is probably because no-one can agree where it sits in the the series timeline and it has no effect on anything outside itself.
