Line 107:
** Reuenthal is also infamous for this, though less so in the anime than in the novel.
* [[Casual Interstellar Travel]]: Partially averted; though large fleets move through space with seeming ease, it does take quite a bit of time. Reinhard's flight from Uruvasi to Fezzan is stated to take three weeks.
** It is also stated that the logistical cost of building and maintaining such fleets is enormous: The Empire has several gigantic fleets and even artificial worlds/fortresses that would make [[Star Wars|Emperor Palpatine nod approvingly]], but at the price of leaving many of its planet underdevelloped; the Free Planet
* [[The Chains of Commanding]]: Various characters on both sides are painfully aware of the burdens and responsibilities that come with commanding vast armies. Time and again, the welfare and deaths of their men are shown to weigh heavily.
* [[Chaste Hero]]: Both Reinhard and Yang remain this until fairly late in the series, even though they should have had plenty of opportunity to engage in romance earlier.
Line 115:
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Oberstein, Rubinsky, Truenicht...
* [[Childhood Friends]]: Reinhard von Lohengramm and Siegfried Kircheis had a bromance as epic as the title of the show. Their shared childhood memories were commonly shown in flashbacks.
* [[Church of Happyology]]: The Terraists present themselves as this in public. There's a lot more, of course, than meets the eye. {{spoiler|As an undercover Julian Mintz learns to his horror.}}
* [[Civil War]]: On both sides, practically at the same time. The Empire's resulted in a change of regime that invigorated its stagnant society. The Alliance's resulted in needlessly lost human life and a weakening of the morale of its populace and military.
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: In the Imperial military, medical personnel can be recognised by their white uniforms, and the rarely seen female staff wear blue, possibly indicating that they are considered auxilliaries rather than full-blown soldiers. Oddly enough, both naval personnel and ground forces wear the same black uniforms.
