Line 41:
* [[Escort Mission]]: Many story missions and sidequests are this. You can also sign up as an escort pilot for a freighter.
* [[Exposition Fairy]]: Eona, your erstwhile copilot.
* [[Fantasy Pantheon]]: The [[Added Alliterative AppealAlliteration|religious Raptors]] worship a faith that includes 2.1 gods per Raptor. Often, they make allusions to "The Threehundred," which could possibly be their major gods. As mentioned in the story, so much as taking a breath at the wrong time can offend at least one of their gods, so it's very easy for non-Raptors to make them mad.
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]: Kayron
Line 68:
** Occupied systems are much more difficult than pirate gangs, because its all too easy to be swarmed if you get careless, and then become an instant [[Bullet Hell]]. You fight three waves of pirates, whose total number usually includes fifteen fighters. If you survive, you are rewarded with a tidy sum of credits and an artifact for the Darkstar.
* [[My Brain Is Big]]: The Oc'to are to this game as the Psilons were to ''[[Master of Orion]]''. They indulge in many fields of science and philosophy, and have made many radical advances and achievements, ranging from teaching quantum mechanics to young children to cloning matter.
* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: The Darkstar One's ultimate ability, the Plasma Shield, renders the ship invulnerable against any sort of damage. The same shielding is used by {{spoiler|The S'kaa Mothership.}}
* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: In one story mission, you go to an Arrack system that was devastated by a savage war, in search of a Thul cruiser. The system is within a massive [[Asteroid Thicket]] of scrap metal, there are shipwrecks all around and the planet is a sickly pinkish color. The effect is greater if you come back after the mission, where you're all alone with nothing besides wreckage to keep you company.
* [[Oh My Gods]]: With the Raptor's [[Fantasy Pantheon|massive pantheon]] including over threehundred gods, some will utter this or a varient of it.
