Welcome Back to the Edge of the Unknown.
So you think you’re a hotshot pilot. A clever entrepreneur. A notorious pirate. You’ve destroyed the Steltek Drone, secured the alien artifact and outfought and outsmarted everyone in your way. Now, You’re taking a well-deserved break on one of Gemini’s pleasure worlds. But relaxation will soon be the last thing on your mind…
In Righteous Fire, you’re once again transported to the seamy side of the universe, where you discover a fiendish plot that threatens the order and prosperity of Gemini Sector. Whether you’re a merchant, pirate or mercenary, plenty of action awaits if you’re willing to risk all you earned in Privateer.
- Extend the career of your original Privateer character and ship as you undertake new money-making journeys through Gemini Sector!
- Engage in higher-profit trade ventures as you barter and scrimp to equip your ship with new hardware.
- Decide your own course of action and choose among multiple fixers. If you find a better offer elsewhere, take it!
- Unveil a startling discovery in Gemini Sector as you find out why law and order are dissolving into chaos.

Play Wing Commander Privateer: Righteous Fire on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Wing Commander Privateer: Righteous Fire on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
