* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Among our colorful cast, we have weird names like Kayron, Jow'son, Naara and Jiju. On the normal side, Robert, Simon, Ramirez, Ventura, and Jack.
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: In one sidequest, you have to blow up a bunch of malfunctioning satellites of the [[Fun With Acronyms|"N.O.M.A.D" series]]. When you engage them, they scream "We are N.O.M.A.D! Resistance is futile!" as a [[Battle Cry]]. Doubles as a [[Shout -Out]] to the Borg from ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]''.
* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: At some point in the past the Terran language became the standard spoken language for all empires. Most races still use their written language in-game.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The manual contains detailed backgrounds on each of the game's races.
Line 81:
* [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens]]: {{spoiler|The S'kaa, an extragalactic conqueror race that had invaded our galaxy and tried to foster a war between all races.}}
* [[Sentry Gun]]: Freighters, cruisers and stations use these as their primary weapons, as well as weapon platforms and satellites. The Darkstar can also get auto-turrets if you upgrade its hull.
* [[Sci -Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]
* [[Shiny-Looking Spaceships]]: Any ship or station owned by the Thul, except for Thul Pirates, whose hull is a rusty brown instead of shiny chrome.
* [[Shout -Out]]: In two sidequests involving you destroying some rogue satellites and a space-mad Thul cruiser, respectively, said targets utter [[Battle Cry|Battle Cries]] that reference [[Star Trek (Franchise)|the Borg.]]
* [[Sliding Scale of Linearity vs. Openness]]: In order to travel to another star system, you will need the "key" to the system and it must be within your Field Drive's maximum range. Most keys are obtained upon entering a system, and some are rewarded in sidequests. By the end of the game, should you have gotten all of the [[MacGuffin|artifacts]] and beaten every sidequest, you should be able reach every system on the map.
* [[Snake Talk]]: The Raptors exhibit this, naturally. Eona once mocked their Snake Talk in a sidequest where you fight three Raptor cruisers.
