** ''[=RayForce=]'': Earth is so corrupted by Con-Human that the only option left to save humanity is to ''blow up the entire planet''; this is the objective over the course of the game. Which succeeds. [[TheHeroDies Our un-named heroine dies]] when the resulting explosion hit her RVA-818-X-LAY fighter, destroying it along with Earth. The pilot dies on final seconds of the way out.credits pans to what remains of the wrecked fighter, and then we see the dashboard displaying '''Mission Complete''' just before the ship's power finally dies.



** ''[=RayCrisis=]'': The fact that this is a {{prequel}} to ''[=RayForce=]'' should clue you in on how successful the efforts to stop Con-Human were (which is to say: [[ShootTheShaggyDog not]] [[DoomedByCanon at all]]).

Even the normal ending also ends on a somber note and the music that plays only adds to its depressing tone. Although the Con-Human's plans to eradicate all organic life has been delayed, you've only managed to prolong the inevitable; sooner or later, everything on the Earth and the few remaining humans that escaped to space will eventually die at the hands of the Con-Human.

Although the ''RAY'' series is a trilogy of shoot 'em ups about piloting a space fighter armed with lock-on weaponry, underneath that surface are tragedies of planetary proportions.
