"Darby: "...one of these days, I'm going to be somebody someone's gonna want to shoot at." Mike: "Hey, if it's any consolation, I already think you should be shot.""
 * Almighty Janitor: Invoked, Darby explains to Mike that they're really the most important people on the ship because they maintain the hyperdrive and the giant laser.
 * AI Is a Crapshoot: Subverted, what appears to be the Robot Girl L severely malfunctioning is really her reacting strongly to a upgrade.
 * Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Invoked, Darby is upset that no-one thinks he's important enough to take a shot at.
 * Backhanded Compliment:

""This is Mike Chet; we've got two squall troopers ready for soylent.""
 * Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Dark Lord
 * Expy: One of the rebel operatives from the pilot episode bears a strong resemblance to Zoe from Firefly if Zoe had an afro.
 * Squall Troopers are, of course, Storm Troopers
 * Fantastic Racism: Referring to an android as cold and calculating is enough to make her cry.
 * Frickin' Laser Beams
 * Future Food Is Artificial / Soylent Soy: Imperial rations are various colors of "mush"; pink mush, yellow mush, sweet mush. Also, The crew appears to like it, however.
 * Homage: The setting is more or less classic Star Wars with the Serial Numbers Filed Off.
 * Human Resources/To Serve Man:

"Milk is gross..."
 * Machine Monotone: the psychoevaluation computer, Dr. Sabato
 * One-Way Visor: Squall Troopers wear them.
 * Ridiculously-Human Robots: LN6-K, or just L for short
 * Shout-Out: Squall Trooper uniforms are 90% Storm Trooper, but have white Master Chief helmets with silver visors.
 * Squall trooper training is dodging shots from a remote.
 * Imperial fighters look like TIE Fighters; rebel fighters look like X wings.
 * Dr. Sabato is very reminiscent of HAL 9000.
 * Standard Establishing Spaceship Shot: Subverted; it's really an extreme close-up shot of a bottle of window cleaner.
 * Stock Yuck:


 * Unusually Uninteresting Sight: The pilot shows Mike and Darby blithely performing their duties while a dramatic space battle takes place outside the window they're washing.
 * We Will Use Manual Labour in The Future: The Empire has yet to invest in some cleaning robots.
 * They do, however, appear to have at least one robot that cleans up when . This may have been a custom robot, since it appears to be under control of Dark Lord.
