Voices of War Manual
True to its tradition of placing emphasis on the background story of a game, Origin included in Armada the "Voices of War" manual which supplies both background information on the game and useful tactical data. The first part of the manual includes a timeline of the Confederation-Kilrathi war, with a recounting of the events that led to the conflict from both the Terran and Kilrathi point of view. The Terran timeline was later included in the "Victory Streak" manual from Wing Commander III. Logs, diaries and chat trancriptions from pilots on both sides of the war are also presented, as well as contemporary ads for holomovies, computers or Kilrathi fangs. The last part of "Voices of War" presents an inventory of both Confederation and Kilrathi fighters and weapons, with their specifics. It is also the only Wing Commander manual to contain a Kilrathi perspective on the story so far.

Famous quotes containing the word manual:
“Criticism is infested with the cant of materialism, which assumes that manual skill and activity is the first merit of all men, and disparages such as say and do not, overlooking the fact, that some men, namely, poets, are natural sayers, sent into the world to the end of expression, and confounds them with those whose province is action, but who quit to imitate the sayers.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
