'''Full Thrust''' is a starship miniatures combat game produced by Ground Zero Games in the UK. Like GZG's other two miniatures games, Dirtside II and [[Star Grunt II]], it is designed to be a generic system, capable of handling whatever miniatures the players happen to have and leaving much of its techobabble vague enough to be used with whatever sci-fi universe the players wish; conversions exist for [[Star Wars]], [[Star Trek]], and [[Babylon 5]], among others. In addition, GZG has a universe shared by its three miniatures games, sometimes called GZG-verse or Tuffleyverse after GZG's principal developer, John Tuffley.
Full Thrust gameplay tends to be fast-paced and the rules are fairly simple and straightforward. One distinguishing feature is that each player secretly writes out movement orders for his/her ships at the beginning of each turn, which forces the players to try to predict their opponents' moves. The ratio of ship durability to weapon damage makes the game unforgiving of tactical blunders. The rules are available as free .pdf downloads from GZG's website, http://www.groundzerogames.net

* [[The Berserker]]: The Kra'Vak have something they call ''roh'kah,'' an aspect of their physiology that substitutes for a human's fight-or-flight response, and essentially forces them into escalating versions of this when under great stress, especially life-or-death situations. The worse the situtation gets, the madder they get; left unchecked, it can reach [[Leeroy Jenkins]] levels, as they become (temporarily) too enraged for rational thought. It's thought to have evolved as a survival trait against the native predators of their [[Death World|home planet]].
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]: The Kra'Vak go through a life cycle in which they go from being asexual to male to female back to being asexual over the course of about
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: Especially in Human-Phalon relations.
* [[China Takes Over the World]]: Or a big swath of the Asian mainland, anyway, including most of Russia.
