To become an ally of a certain faction, you would need to either destroy their enemies, or alternatively you communicate friendly with them, but this takes time (and you may get damaged in the process). You can befriend any of the factions, except for the Retro (a Luddites of sorts) and the Kilrathi. There are several factions in the game: Pirates, Retro (Church of Man), Pirates, Mercenaries, Merchants, Local Militia and the Kilrathi. Privateer is technically set behind the frontlines, and the Gemini Sector is right on the frontlines with the Kilrathi. There are about 70 systems in the game, all populated with different factions.

The game uses a vastly improved Wing Commander II engine, with some features that were also used in Strike Commander, a different Origin game. The working title for the game was “Trade Commander”, and at one point Origin Systems considered naming all of their games with the suffix “Commander”. Released in the Fall of 1993, Privateer had an interesting development history. It can be looked at as Origin Systems take on open-ended gameplay, and their take on the legendary Elite (1984). Wing Commander: Privateer or simply Privateer. After the success of Wing Commander II, the franchise received its first spin-off game.
