* ''A Time for War/A Time for Peace.''

* [[Alien Arts Are Appreciated]]: Klingon Councillor Kopek decorates his office with items of art from across explored space. Among the paintings, artefacts and sculptures are those created by humans, Vulcans, and Betazoids. This despite the fact that Kopek despises those races. To be honest, he probably justifies them as "trophies".

* [[Ambadassador]]: Gorn Ambassador Zogozin gives off these sort of vibes, as does Klingon Ambassador K'mtok. The latter because he is, like all Klingon nobles, a warrior; the former because Gorn in general can be quite intimidating, particularly when showing their fangs. Although, it's possible Zogozin's just smiling.

* [[Elves vs. Dwarves]]: The ongoing feud between Dorset and Bader can be viewed as this, more or less. Dorset are tall, elegant, slender and artistic, whereas Bader are short, stocky and suited to more physical work.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: The ethnic divisions on Tezwa.

* [[Government Conspiracy]]: The Zife Administration's actions on Tezwa, and their attempts to cover it up afterwards. Essentially, President Zife violated the Khitomer Accords with the Klingon Empire by illegally arming Tezwa, a neutral border world, as part of a contingency plan during the war against the Dominion. Later, the Tezwans use these weapons to attack the Klingons. Zife and his Chief of Staff, Koll Azernal, then order the planet occupied by Starfleet troops, ostensibly to help it rebuild from the Klingon counterstrike, but really to dismantle any evidence of Federation involvement. They also seek to frame another government for arming the Tezwans. Fake evidence is smuggled through the Defense Secretary via criminal organization the Orion Syndicate. Koll Azernal is also involved in multiple other conspiracies including {{spoiler|attempting to transform the inhabitants of Delta Sigma IV into a society of chemically-controlled soldiers should a second Dominion War- or equivalent conflict- flare up}}.

** It at first looks like the Dokaalan are facing one of these; turns out it's merely alien invasion.
