* BaseOnWheels: The Northern Coalition will have a massive Expedition Command Center as their main production and resupply base, which looks visually like an aircraft carrier on tracks. It serves the purpose similar to Motherships in previous ''Homeworld'' games.

* LostTechnology: The objective of the game is to find the "anomaly" [[spoiler: AKA the Khar-Toba]] and uncover its secrets in hopes of saving your world. [[spoiler: Little do you know is it was what brought you hear in the first place.]]

** The Baserunner unit that was present since the earliest presentation of Hardware: Shipbreakers (then a utility vehicle that's implied to have originated from Earth) remain largely unaltered as a Northern Coalition unit. The LAV unit that was first shown escorting it in the Baserunner video for Hardware: Shipbreakers also remains mostly unaltered in terms of design.

[[spoiler: Presumably they take the Taiidan Empire's hyperspace treaty VERY seriously.]]

* SingleBiomePlanet: Averted. Most of Kharak is a desert, but there is ice in its poles (and this is where most of the Kushan people live)
