Star*Drive: Difference between revisions

* [[Dystopia]]: [[Void Corp]]. Some would argue that the Hatire Community, Thuldan Empire, Nariac Domain, and Rigunmor Star Consortium fulfill this trope. There's also Lucullus, in the Verge.

* [[Expy]]: VoidCorp is described as having split off from an old Earth megacorporation called MicroTel. You do the math. The nation of Austrin-Ontis Unlimited might also be an expy for the [[Deep South]], or at least for Texas, consisting of gun-crazy space cowboys. Their flag even looks like a puke green Confederate flag.

* [[Fan of the Past]]: This pretty much describes the entire culture of the Union of Sol. There are fans for just about every place and era in pre-stellar human history, even going so far as to dress and act in accordance with the customs of this time. This is only done within reason of course; people reenacting the height of Aztec culture wouldn't start practicing human sacrifice. It's more like an elaborate cosplay/RP on a multi-planetary scale.

* [[Forever War]]: The Second Galactic War lasted over a century, and still rages in the Verge system of Algemron. Algemron boasted not one, but two habitable planets, making it a shoo-in for colonization. Austrin-Ontis Unlimited took the humid world of Galvin, while the Thuldans settled the cooler planet of Alitar. The two planets ended up fighting during the Second Galactic War, and continued long after the conflict's end. Neither one is getting all that much support from their parent nations. Galvin is winning, but considering its stretched supply lines, this may not last much longer.
