Star Crossed: Difference between revisions

* [[Black and White Morality]]: Subverted. [[The Empire]] has launched an unprovoked invasion of [[The Federation]]; I wonder who's the good guys? At first it's obvious, but later, [[Morality Kitchen Sink|well…]]

* [[Blood Knight]]: Captain Tarsi. When Darth Nemesis says that Kirk is a legend to the Federation and that legends "are notoriously hard to kill":

* [[The Chessmaster]]: {{spoiler|Gary Mitchell}}, Khan Noonien Singh and Grand Admiral Thrawn.

* [[Cruel and Unusual Death]]: Poor Admiral Janeway is trapped in an endless, infinite time-loop where she betrays her crew to their deaths in order to save the universe from utter destruction, and then the [[Big Bad]] easily negates her efforts and tells her how useless her act is—[[Fate Worse Than Death|again, and again, and again]]. All because the author doesn't like ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]''.

* [[Insistent Terminology]]: The rightfully appointed Grand Admiral Thrawn (well, rightfully appointed by the [[Evil Overlord]], but still) ''will not'' acknowledge Admiral Gideon Kittaine, whom the renegade Darth Nemesis promotes to Grand Admiral, by his new title. When he does, it's a sign to Kittaine that Thrawn will try to kill him. A nice [[Continuity Nod]] here, since in canon Thrawn never referred to the New Republic with its proper name, just "the Rebels", indicating (as with Kittaine) that he thought it illegitimate.

* [[Ironic Echo]]: The voice of the Borg Collective when it first encounters Nemesis's fleet, and Nemesis's response when his fleet {{spoiler|destroys Unimatrix 001, the heart of the Collective.}}

“We are the Galactic Empire, lower your shields and prepare to be destroyed, your biological and technological distinctiveness is about to end. Resistance is futile.” }}

* [[The Kingdom]]: The Imperium, once {{spoiler|Darth Nemesis becomes Luke Skywalker again}}.

* [[Laser Blade]]: Lightsabers, obviously.

* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: Lord Darkstar, when all his plans seem to be going perfectly:

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Naturally. It includes ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'', the crew of the USS Enterprise from ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'', and most of the characters from the six ''[[Star Wars]]'' films. This is a really, really big fanfic.

* [[Love Redeems]]: {{spoiler|Darth Nemesis}}'s love for {{spoiler|Mara Jade}} is a great part of his [[Heel Face Turn]] {{spoiler|back into Luke Skywalker}}.
