Tech Infantry: Difference between revisions

* [[The Empire]]: The Eastern Bloc, and later The Middle Kingdom. The Earth Federation sometimes plays this role as well. So do the Vampire Kingdom of Enoch and a couple of the alien races...heck, pretty much everyone.

* [[Evil Albino]]: Admiral Voorheis subverts this trope mildly, being a fairly nice gal, despite being a corrupt political-military leader for an oppressive government.

* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Xinjao O'Reilly after his brush with [[Eye Scream]]. Argus McCall is short an eye as well, but his is replaced with a cybernetic one.

* [[Eye Scream]]: Xinjao O'Reilly is tortured at one point by having a soldering iron jammed into one eye. Argus lost his when a Bug Warrior bit his face off.

* [[Fertile Feet]]: When Lwan Eddington becomes the Avatar of Life Magic, he becomes a mild example of this trope.

* [[Fictional Document]]: The epigraphs for each act often quoted speeches by background characters, autobiographies, histories, training manuals, song lyrics, and other in-universe media, as well as real-world sources from the Tao Te Ching to early-90's alternative rock song lyrics.

* [[Functional Magic]]: When you've got an entire ''army'' of [[Reality Warper|reality-warping]] magic-using supersoldiers, magical attacks become standardized and magic becomes just another military tactic.

* [[Fur Against Fang]]: Werewolves and Vampires don't get along very well.

* [[Tailor-Made Prison]]: There's the Federation (and later Imperial) Prison in the G2 system, a [[Death World]] with orbiting warships and magical fields to prevent escape or rescue, where the most dangerous supernatural criminals are sent. The more mundane version of the trope is seen when Andrea Treschi kidnaps Xavier Pollos and holds him prisoner in a deep pit to force him to carry out an assassination on Treschi's behalf.

* [[Tank Goodness]]: Giza-class Mobile Seige Fortresses are hovering super-tanks the size and shape of Egyptian pyramids.

* [[Theme Naming]]: Many of the ships in [[Earth Fleet]] are named by class according to certain themes: Cities, famous warships of the wet-navy past, war gods, battles, great military leaders, and so forth. The various Jurvain planets are named [[Bilingual Bonus|in Korean]]. The planets of the Kingdom of Enoch are mostly named after very early characters in [[The Bible|the Old Testament]].

* [[Time Skip]]: The new season nine is set 20 years after the events in a previous online novel project, ''Rage Against The Dying of the Light''. Which in turn was set several decades after the previous [[Tabletop RPG]] campaigns. The Y3K project, another series of [[Tabletop RPG]] campaigns, are set several centuries after the online novel projects. The Season Eight alternate timeline was set 27 years after the previous season, but in an alternate timeline, of course.

* [[Time Stands Still]]: One of the powers of Kuar, the magic sword of Xavier Pollos.

** Herbert Gergenstein started off as an extra, a mere bridge officer with an interesting backstory. He later became head of Internal Security, launched a rebellion that devastated the capital planet, and finally fled to exile...only to return as head of intelligence for the Federation Loyalists in the next civil war.

* [[Trope Overdosed]]: Just look at this list!
