* AsteroidMiners: In "A Few Bugs in the System", an asteroid mining colony falls victim to a series of accidents engineered by a Shadow Force sabotage robot.
* DarkIsEvil: Not only is the BigBad literally named Emperor Dark, but all of the vehicles used by his Shadow Force are black.
* EverybodyLaughsEnding: The series as a whole ends like this after ex-Star Ranger Lucas Hall saves the rest of the team by canceling the self-destruct countdown in the abandoned Star Ranger base.

* OutrankingYourJob: Dash, Slim, and Crowbar are all colonels, and as such should probably be flying a desk most of the time. However, they are always out flying active combat missions, and very rarely are they seen commanding lower-ranked personnel. What's more, they frequently fly together in the same Star Max, which if they were ever shot down[[note]](which they won't be, because it's a kids show)[[/note]] then [=StarCom=] might end up with a DecapitatedArmy.
