* Through the first two games you get bits and pieces about Spirit's fiance. In the second she brings up [[http://lparchive.org/Wing-Commander/Update%2069/ dreams]] of a RoaringRampageOfRescue.
* In the second game after Spirit dies in a suicidal attack against the Kilrathi, you are left to console Angel who is devastated at the loss of her friend; soon a romance blossoms between the two of you as you lean in to share a passionate kiss, vowing to look out for each other for however long the war goes on. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, as the third game reveals, Blair lives to see the end of the war, but Angel dies just months shy of it, on a pathfinder mission paving the way for Blair's successful attack.]]
* The story of how Hobbes saved Downtown when he was a child. It makes the latter's death all the more gutwrenching when Hobbes, a Kilrathi, laments that he feels like he's lost a son.
* After [[spoiler: Hobbes]] goes through a FaceHeelTurn, he still respects Blair enough, even despite being a ManchurianAgent, to leave behind a message explaining his actions.
