{{quote|'''Tobias:''' Now listen here. You are not in Rhineland now, you're in my shop. I've already told you that the man you're looking for isn't here, so unless you'd like to get an education in foreign affairs that you won't soon forget, I suggest you move along!

* The end of the Bretonia arc has something along these lines:
{{quote|'''Junko:''' Dammit! Rheinland is blocking the trade lane to Tau-23!
'''Trent:''' What are we gonna do then, Juni?
'''Junko:''' ''We fight!'' }}
** John Rhys Davies, facing down Rheinland secret police chasing the character: Listen to me. You're not in Rheinland now, you're in. MY. SHOP!
** Beating that mission is also crowning moment for Trent, Juni, Outcast pilots that help, and the PLAYER (if you choose to actually fight and not running around, that is)! Really, since it's you with another 4-5 fighters against a battleship, 2 cruisers, and buttload of fighters and gunboats. Essentially, you're fighting against a fleet. Oh, and that's only midgame.
* The assassination of Gov. Tekagi, of course. Right when Trent and Ozu were locked in Tekagi's office and about to be {{spoiler|assimilated by an alien parasite}}, Hakkera comes barging in his fighter, Trent jumps out of the window into the ship while Tekagi is distracted, and Ozu detonates the bomb he planted earlier. {{spoiler|He dies in a blaze of glory.}}
* After being rescued, {{spoiler|President Jacobi}} grabs a shotgun from Junko, shoots the alien {{spoiler|that came out of Chancellor Niemann}}, and says "Burn, you son of a bitch!".
* Later, {{spoiler|Walker}} plows in his cruiser, packed to the limit with mines, ''through an entire fleet made of Liberty, Rheinland and alien fighters and capital ships''. {{spoiler|He dies in a blaze of glory:}}
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Walker:''' "Goodbye, Juni. Win this one for me."}}}}
* Botzler takes the cake here, with his [[Heroic Sacrifice]] that destroys 7 experimental battleships, by himself.
* Slightly less badass, but still pretty damn awesome: during the attack on Tekagi's base, there is a battleship hanging over the arch, with enough heavy fighter coverage to reduce you to so much space debris in (literally) around two seconds, if you're unlucky enough. Battleships alone are perfectly capable of blowing you to smithereens if you make one false move. Did I mention that that particular battleship you can take on by yourself and actually destroy? I must have. Oh, and there's two of them and a few cruisers when you're trying to retrieve the spy from Rheinland space--you can destroy them too, provided you have enough weaponry and time. The ''Odin'' decloaks right before you join up with the Order; with sufficiently heavy weapons, you can blow that to bits and watch the kill counter go up by one. Possibly the most badass out of all of these? When escaping from the prison and Alaska, you get a chance to avenge Walker by taking on a battleship and five cruisers, not to mention a couple dozen Nomad escorts. It is near-impossible to destroy the entire fleet, with only a few escorts and the ''Osiris'' as backup, with next-to-none shield batteries and nanobots after Alaska, and with a couple dozen Nomads on your tail. If you manage to destroy the fleet, then you are either using hacks, are incredibly lucky, or are the biggest badass space-flight shooters like ''Freelancer'' have ever seen.
