** The "Martial Democracy" government type is basically lifted straight out of ''[[Starship Troopers]].''
** It's possible to pursue the [[Prime Directive]] regarding native, less-developed worlds.
** At least one of the possible star systemssystem names, Mar-Adetta is a direct nod to ''[[Legend of Galactic Heroes]].''
** The {{spoiler|Unbidden}} are basically a cross between Chaos and the C'Tan from ''[[Warhammer 40,000]].'' {{spoiler|As they come from another dimension through a warp rift not unlike the Eye of Terror.}}
** The end-game Swarm "crisis" scenario is in many ways a [[Bug War]] akin to facing the Tyrannids or Zerg.
** One of the various randomly generated planet names is [[Dune|Arrakis]].
* [[Starfish Aliens]]: Some alien types, especially the mollusk-esque ones look suitably out there. Their respective aesthetics likewise look suitably alien and otherworldly. There are also a number of bizarre NPC alien creatures orbiting certain stars, including those seemingly made entirely out of crystals.
* [[Vestigial Empire]]: The "fallen empires," computer-controlled civilizations that are large and powerful, but also old, stagnant and isolationist. Tick them off one way or another, however, and they won't hesitate to prove why they're not quite "fallen" just yet. They can also serve as a dangerous end-game adversary should they decide to regain their "rightful place" in the universe.
