$10,000 tier
Wing Commander in Star Citizen
Wing Commander, inside Star Citizen, is a $10,000 lifetime-spend tier. It is not a military rank and it is not this space-combat series. Concierge, also called Chairman's Club, starts at $1,000 in lifetime purchases. The Wing Commander level's listed rewards are the F8C Lightning and the Shock Wave paint.

Why the name was reused
Chris Roberts created the Wing Commander games at Origin and later founded the studio behind Star Citizen. The tier borrows the name. It does not include the 1990 game, the 2026 editions, or a rank you earn by flying. Higher Concierge levels exist in the RSI rewards list and the wiki table. I only repeat the row people are searching, because the rest of that ladder was not what this page is for and I did not re-check every dollar step.
If you wanted the games, start at the series list. If you wanted the RAF rank, the disambiguation page has one sentence and a link out.
