6	''Genesis Climber MOSPEADA'' is an {{anime}} {{science fiction}} series created by Shinji Aramaki and Hideki Kakinuma (and featuring a score by a pre-Ghibli Music/JoeHisaishi) . The 25-episode television series ran from late 1983 to early 1984 in Japan. MOSPEADA stands for '''M'''ilitary '''O'''peration '''S'''oldier '''P'''rotection '''E'''mergency '''A'''viation '''D'''ive '''A'''rmor, one of the transformable [[PoweredArmor motorcycle-armors]] the series features. The other primary mecha featured in the show is the three-form [[TransformingMecha transformable fighter]] called the Armo-Fighter AFC-01 Legioss, which is somewhat similar in design to the VF-1 Valkyrie variable fighter from ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'' and is the element that really inspired the show's inclusion into ''Anime/{{Robotech}}''.

8	In the 21st century, pollution becomes such a problem that scientists develop the use of hydrogen fuel called "HBT" as an alternative to fossil fuels. Due to overpopulation on Earth, humans have colonized Mars and the moons of Jupiter. In 2050, a mysterious alien race called the Inbit ("Invid" for ''Robotech'' watchers) invade the Earth; unable to fight back, humans are driven into a few small pockets of refugees, some of which manage to escape the now-desolate Earth to seek shelter on the moon. 30 years later, the Mars Base sends troops to fight the Inbit, only to fail miserably. The Inbit seem uninterested in other planets and do not show any hostility unless attacked. However, they can sense the use of HBT, forcing humans to limit the use of fuel near the Inbit. Now the humans of the Mars Base fight to reclaim their home planet and unravel the secret behind the Inbit invasion before it is too late for both races.

10	36 years after the original show ended, a new project named "''Genesis Climber Mospeada Genesis Breaker''" was announced in August 2020, with Shinji Aramaki and Hideki Kakinuma returning as the Mechanical Designers. Two years late, the storyline was serialized on Hobby Japan magazine in August 25th, 2022.

12	----
13	!! This anime provides examples of:
14
15	[[foldercontrol]]
16
17	[[folder: Genesis Climber Mospeada]]
18	* AcePilot: Houquet et Rose ("Rook Bartley"), Stig Bernard ("Scott Bernard"), Ray ("Rand"), and Yellow Belmont ("Lancer") are quite skilled as pilots, managing to knock out entire patrols during their voyage towards Refless Point.
19	* AdjectiveNounFred: The title in Japanese being Kikō Sōseiki Mospeada, or Armored Genesis Mospeada in direct translation.
20	* AdventureTowns: Quite a few. Some in what appears to have once been South America. They also make their way across America, visiting what used to be Denver and Manhattan.
21	* AerithAndBob: The main characters have odd-ball naming with real-world names like Stig Bernard, Jim Lunk, Aisha, and Rand alongside names like Yellow Belmont and Mint, and one that is basically a French translation of a term (Houqet Et Rose).
22	* AfterTheEnd: At least the Earth, which straddles between TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture and ScavengerWorld, Mars and other habitable planets in the Solar System have been colonized to the point where large manufacturing facilities and functioning hi-tech cities to sustain two([[spoiler: later three]]) liberation forces have been built.
23	* AlienBlood: The human-shaped Inbits have green blood [[spoiler:which is what reveals they are aliens in human guise in the first place]].
24	* AlienInvasion: The entire premise involves Earth being invaded by Inbits thirty years before the present timeline with the colonies on other planets of the solar system mounting a liberation campaign.
25	* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: Motorcycle gangs are found terrorizing towns across Invid-Earth. [[spoiler: Hoquet used to be a member of Blue Angels, who were actually a benign variant until Red Snakes forced them to disband out of fear]].
26	* AllThereInTheManual: The original series pitch is included in the [=ADVision=] DVD set. It explains that one result of the presence of the Inbit on Earth was some humans starting to manifest psychic powers; one of those people was Rand. This explains his uncanny ability to know what the Inbit are thinking, and the bizaree hallucination he has where he realizes why the Inbit are on Earth (he was directly in contact with the Refless).
27	* AntiVillain: Inbits had this vibe to the point of being DesignatedVillain [[spoiler: even before TheReveal as InvadingRefugees]]. They spared the evacuees along with the colonies on Mars and other planets during their initial invasion. Furthermore, as Stig discovered, many settlements were given a hands-off approach so long as they regulated their HBT use and refuse to rise up against them.
28	* TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople: Cruelly subverted as the people of the city by the lake pretend to be hospitable but in fact lure soldiers (including a child) to their doom in order to save themselves.
29	* ApocalypseHow: After Inbit invasion, Earth's status has been sliding between Class 2 Planetary Societal Collapse and Class 1 Societal Disruption due to Inbit-collaborating settlements living in relative comfort with modern technology while the more rural areas--which tend hold anti-Inbit sentiments and hide surviving Mars Base soldiers--live on scraps. By contrast, Mars and other solar system colonies already had constructed well-maintained habitation and infrastructure to support three liberation attempts on Earth.
30	* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Especially after Episode 16, where Stick's group ended up in Colorado mountains despite being setting sail from an area approximate to the North American Eastern Sea Board.
31	* AttackDrone: [[spoiler: Large chunk of Dark Legioss are unmanned, which the few segments were detached to attack Refless Point directly without knowledge of Stig's group and Refless having a conversation towards peace. Luckily, Yellow and Solzie managed to stop them to buy time for Refless and her willing minions to depart from the planet.]]
32	* AttractiveBentGender: Yellow, who crossdresses.
33	* BadassBiker:
34	** Almost every main characters--particularly Stig, Yellow, Houquet, and Ray--and Mars Base soldiers ride motorcycles (many of which can transform into PoweredArmor) as a means of transportation.
35	** Rainy Boy, the main character of episode 21.
36	* BattleCouple: Ray and Houquet, bantering at each other LikeAnOldMarriedCouple while in combat.
37	* BeachEpisode: Episode 16 has the team land on an abandoned resort island due to an ambush that led to Hoquet's wounds and her fighter's damages. [[spoiler: It turned out to be a blessing by the end when they took a derelict warship to North America.]]
38	* BigApplesauce: Episode 22, New York Bebop. Despite its worn-out nature, the city managed to maintain a semblance of civilization complete with musical performances by a flash-dance troupe.
39	* BigBulkyBomb: [[spoiler: As the final liberation fleet starts to take heavy casualties, they try to deploy a massive bomb that would devastate Refless Point, along with large portions of the planet. Thankfully, Refless had already been convinced of their own errors and erased the bomb as she teleported to another planet along with her followers.]]
40	* BrattyHalfPint: Mint [=LaBelle=] ("Annie"), particularly annoying for her constant talk of marriage despite her very young age and even [[TokenMiniMoe younger]] [[CutesyDwarf appearance]] (she's [[OlderThanTheyLook canonically thirteen, but looks closer to seven]]), and [[SmittenTeenageGirl obsesses about any male character fairly quick to boot]].
41	* BrokenPedestal: [[spoiler:Bernard's mentor and hero, Major Johnathan ("Colonel Johnathan Wolff"), who has sold out to the Inbit.]]
42	** RebuiltPedestal: [[spoiler: Though only Bernard found out his deeds, Johnathan's HeroicSacrifice allowed him to be a heroic figure to him.]]
43	* LesCollaborateurs: Unlike on Mars, many humans left on Earth work with the Inbit in order not to be wiped out.
44	* ColonizedSolarSystem: The Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are mentioned as being inhabited by the time the series opens. Mars is developed enough to launch two Earth Recapture Expeditions, while the Moon and Jupiter cooperate with them on a third at the end of the series.
45	* CombiningMecha: The Legioss and Tread fighters can merge into a bigger aircraft, and each can independently become a robot.
46	* ConvenientDecoyCat: Subverted during the New York City episode since it was a boy pretending to be a cat.
47	* CoolBike: Probably the most distinguishing trait of the series (they pretty much name it, after all), turn into wearable PoweredArmor, [[RuleOfCool sometimes even in mid-air]].
48	* CoolPlane: The Legioss and Tread fighters.
49	* CowardlyLion: Jim Austin. (“Lunk”), [[spoiler: his characterization was the result of his regret for leaving a wounded friend behind after the Inbit overwhelmed his former squad]].
50	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Ray, while not stupid, is not much of a soldier or pilot but has his badass moments.
51	* CyberCyclops: All of the Inbit mecha designs feature a "mono-eye" optic camera/sensor.
52	* {{Cyborg}}: [[spoiler: Rainy Boy was one himself after being captured by Inbits.]]
53	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Everyone but Ray is shown to have this to varying degrees.
54	** Stig/Scott lost his love, Marlene, in the first episode, which didn't help much with his FantasticRacism against Inbits, whom he blames for every tragedy ([[CharacterDevelopment initially]]).
55	** Yellow/Lancer, like Stig, was one of the few survivors from the first Mars Liberation campaigns and [[spoiler: had to leave the first love of his life--a young woman who saved him from Inbits and villagers--due to his fear of dragging her into his fight against the Inbits]].
56	** Houqet/Rook was formerly [[spoiler: a member of Blue Angels until she and her fellow members were ambushed by Red Snakes]].
57	** Jim/Lunk was part of the same campaign as Yellow, though he only joined to support his large family, [[spoiler: but [[MyGreatestFailure his abandonment of his mortally wounded friend to Inbits]] haunts him]].
58	** Mint's life before her orphaned status wasn't idealistic since [[WhenYouComingHomeDad her parents were too busy to pay attention to her, meaning that her cat was the only one available to celebrate her birthdays]].
59	%%* DeadStarWalking: The cast you meet in the first episode save Stig.
60	* DebutQueue: Starts with EverybodysDeadDave, before the surviving protagonist meets the real cast.
61	* DefeatAsBackstory: Stig Bernard's squadron, including his fiancee Marlene, were wiped out during the disastrous second liberation of Earth. Due to being alone without contact with meager survivors, Stig was forced to march to Refless Point with Ray, Mint, Jim, Houquet, and Yellow joining him along the way.
62	* DistantFinale: The ''Love Live Alive'' OVA.
63	* DramaticSpaceDrifting: An [[http://www.robotech-reference-guide.org/new.images/places_and_story/reflex-1.jpg image]] from a montage of clips on the ill-fated First Earth Recapture Mission has a corpse floating among the debris orbiting Earth.
64	* DudeLooksLikeALady: Yellow rather convincingly.
65	* EasyLogistics: An inconsistent ZigZaggedTrope. On one hand, many episodes had Stig's group finding supplies--especially fuel and spare parts--along the journey; but on the other, they seem to have no shortages of rockets in spite of [[MacrossMissileMassacre innumerable salvos of them]] being used against Inbits.
66	* EverybodysDeadDave: Episode 1 ends with Stig Bernard the only survivor of his unit in an ill-fated assault, one of the deaths being his fiancée [[TheLostLenore Marlene]]. Though there are a few pockets of survivors from both the first and second invasion who made it onto the planet.
67	* FallenHero: Colonel Wolfe, [[spoiler: though he gives his life destroying an Inbit patrol when he suffered a HeelRealization from seeing Stig's plight, along with Ray/Rand's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech before hand]].
68	* TheFederation: An Earth Federation gets mentioned somewhere along the way.
69	* FighterLaunchingSequence: At least in the first episode.
70	* FightingForAHomeland: Mars Base was settled by refugees from Earth thirty years before the "present" time of the series; as a result, the main goal of their two expeditions to Earth is to drive off the Inbits, [[spoiler: who were also seeking a new homeland after the destruction of their old world.]].
71	* {{Frankenslation}}: ''Mospeada'' was one of three separate (and entirely unrelated) series cobbled together to make ''{{Anime/Robotech}}''.
72	* GentleGiant: Jim Austin is a mild-mannered person for his size. Unlike Stig and Yellow, he only joined the military to provide income for his large family. In fact, he was the only one who tolerates Mint despite her bratty nature.
73	* GeniusBruiser: Jim Austin.
74	* GiantEnemyCrab: The basic reddish Inbit {{Mook}} mecha, called "Eager", resemble this trope the most, with a wide, flat body and forelimbs looking like pincer claws. To a lesser extent, the Grab/Grob and its upgraded form, the Garmo/Gamo, while not quite crab-shaped, still do vaguely resemble crabs, but with ChickenWalker legs and [[ShoulderCannon twin cannons over their shoulders]].
75	* GoingNative: [[spoiler: Solzie/Sera is more sympathetic towards humans after she meets Yellow Belmont. This can be seen with her disdain for Corg's attempt at punitive measures towards them in New York, when she was given authority over the city. This becomes a turning point for her HeelFaceTurn.]]
76	* GreenAesop: [[spoiler: Refless viewed humanity as a threat due to both their [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters "Shadow" (malignant nature)]] and the polluted nature of Earth before her arrival allowed her to clean the planet. However, Aisha and Stig's group countered her argument with the fact that 1. [[HumansAreFlawed Aisha's positive experience with her group showed their "Light" (benign nature) along with "Shadow"]] 2. the entire war with humanity was the result of CycleOfRevenge that the Inbit unintentionally caused with their violent arrival. As a result, Refless was convinced to leave Earth, as she had a feeling that humanity is capable of goodness despite their tendency towards violence.]]
77	* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Solzie(Sera), finishing ''Robotech's'' trifecta.
78	* HighHeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Both Aisha (“Marlene”) and Solzie, out of their feelings for Stig and Yellow respectively.]]
79	* HeroicBSOD: Stig has one that lasted for almost an entire episode after witnessing the destruction of the ship crewed by his fiancee along with almost everyone in his unit.
80	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: A squad of old soldiers ram their ship into an Inbit relay tower to destroy it.]]
81	* HiveQueen: The Inbit Refless.
82	* HotWings: When [[spoiler:the Inbit leave Earth]], they take the form of a huge Phoenix.
83	* IdolSinger: Yellow Belmont.
84	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Aisha ("Ariel", a.k.a. "Marlene"). During the fortress siege episode, Yellow rather poetically explains it as her being too innocent of the ways of the world to have a concept of modesty.
85	%%* InvisibilityCloak: The Legioss[=/=]Tread Fighters.
86	* JapaneseRanguage: Of the type commonly seen in 80's anime, such as soft drink trucks labeled "Right Cora"...
87	* JerkassHasAPoint: The town's selling out stranded soldiers to the Inbits may seem cowardly; however, their reason for doing so seems legitimate since many towns were wiped out by Inbits even for being in proximity to the surviving soldiers.
88	* LandmarkOfLore: The Statue Of Liberty, when they pass through the Big Apple.
89	%%* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Aisha.
90	%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Yellow
91	* {{Mangst}}: Stig is driven by the death of his fiance, Marlene.
92	* MacrossMissileMassacre: A Legios fighter has roughly sixty missiles mounted in launchers across its shoulders, arms, and legs, And when transformed can launch them ''all'' at once. Indeed, it's Stig's preferred method to down enemy mooks.
93	* MeltingPotNomenclature: This tends to occur thanks to the series' setting in the Americas and Mars Base' multi-ethnic population, with Shinobu Takeuchi standing out as the only Japanese-named character of the series.
94	%%* MementoMacGuffin: Stig's pendant.
95	* MissionImpossibleCableDrop: Used in Episode 5 to steal HBT cells from a LesCollaborateurs storage facility.
96	* MundaneObjectAmazement:
97	** Stig in first episode is awed (and startled) by rain and the accompanying lightning strike due to being one of many descendants who only knew Earth from their refugee parents.
98	** Episode 19 has Ray, Hoquet, Mint, and Aisha enjoying groceries (especially sweets and luncheon meat) in an Underground City that was [[spoiler: abandoned due to an Inbit attack on the area]].
99	* MysteriousWaif: Aisha
100	* TheNeidermeyer: Shinobu/Sue Graham's [[TheDeterminator focus on her recon mission]] (More so with her Robotech counterpart as an officer on scouting duties instead of her original's IntrepidReporter), which already cost her entire team except for herself, tend to put her at odds with Stig's group, to the point of letting Ray use the Synchro Cannon just to see the weapon's capability without regards to his safety. [[spoiler: She later has a HeelRealization after she is fatally wounded by an explosion from one of Inbit fighters]].
101	* NewOldWest: Mospeada's AfterTheEnd (deserts, sparsely populated towns with large degrees of distance, and outlaws) and ScienceFiction (mecha, aliens, and fighters) setting provided some sort of Wild West style environment with motorbikes taking the role of horses. Even Ray/Rand [[LampshadedTrope point out]] the similarity with the confrontation with the biker gang at their hideout to a western movie.
102	* NonIndicativeFirstEpisode: It presents an entire series' worth of cast members during a space battle, only to kill all but one of them in the destruction of their battleship. The survivor, Stig Bernard, is left to pick his way through a ScavengerWorld, meeting the real cast one by one.
103	* ObliviouslyEvil: [[spoiler: It turned out that Inbits are more interested in studying and perfecting their own biology rather than any ill will towards humankind. As they lack any emotional reaction of humans, they unintentionally caused a war with humans with their aggressive responses towards them. Once many of them assimilated with Earth's ecology, Aisha and eventually Solzie began to side with humans, and convinced Refless to leave Earth as their actions are harming Earth. Once Refless was shown the error of her ways, she and any Inbits who wished to leave the Earth ascended to another planet, but not before erasing their bombardment missiles and cleaning up the Earth.]]
104	* PointDefenseless: The majority of ships sent from Mars Base and [[spoiler: Jupiter Base]] lack anti-fighter defenses, save for [[TransformingMecha Legioss]] escorts, which led to the former's CurbStompBattle in the first episode and [[spoiler: the latter's near defeat from attrition]] by Inbit's ZergRush tactics.
105	* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Stig's entire group is this.
106	* RammingAlwaysWorks: [[spoiler: A group of old soldiers crash their ramshackle ship into the tower once they were overwhelmed by the Inbit fighters. Since the ship remained intact but its escape pods and detaching systems were already worn out, the head of the group blew up the ship with themselves instead.]]
107	* RealRobot: EasyLogistics is avoided in Mospeada, with the main group having to scavenge HBT fuel and stop for maintenance, along with shutting down vehicles powered by them to avoid Inbits' detection.
108	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Johnathan]] dies in battle after he had his HeelFaceTurn, saving the main characters.
109	* RedShirtArmy: The force sent to take back Earth in the first episode gets devastated, leaving Bernard as one of the few survivors. This also applies to previous expedition forces that included both Jim Austin and Yellow Belmont.
110	* LaResistance: Our band of heroes are this, though their motive was mostly focused on reaching Refless Point while avoiding Inbit patrols.
111	* TheRevolutionWillNotBeVilified: The whole point of the series. Any Inbit that saw the error of their treatment of humans underwent a HeelFaceTurn eventually, while those that did ''not'' became progressively more genocidal in attempting to wipe out the human resistance.
112	* {{Roboteching}}: The funny thing about it is that it was one of the three anime series used to create the TropeNamer.
113	* SacrificialLamb: Many episodes have one-shot characters who would often perish.
114	%%* SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands
115	%%* TeamPet: Mint.
116	* TheyLookLikeUsNow: The Inbit take humans forms as the ideal life form to rule the planet.
117	* TragicKeepsake: Stig Bernard has a holo locket, given to him by his girlfriend (who died during the initial attack in Episode One). He keeps it throughout the series, finally throwing it out of his Legioss in the last seconds of the series.
118	* TransformingMecha:
119	** From CoolBike to PoweredArmor = cool ''squared.'' Creator/KenichiSonoda cut his teeth animating Mospeada, resulting in him re-using the concept for ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis.''
120	** As mentioned before, the Legioss and Tread can both transform as well. The Legioss itself can transform while still attached to the Tread.
121	* TrueCompanions: What the group becomes. At one point, Hoquet and Ray were allowed to leave the group but decided to stay together due to Mint's disappointment over their group's presumed break up.
122	* UngratefulTownsfolk: Many towns in Mospeada--especially the one from "The City By The Lake" episode--tend to be indifferent or hostile towards the Resistance and surviving Mars Base soldiers. Though this has to do with their resentment towards Mars Base for seemingly abandoning them and the Inbit's tendency to leave them alone so long as there aren't armed rebellion or they don't utilize HBT fuel heavily.
123	* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Ray had a crush on Yellow before he learned "she" was actually a he. The reveal left him devastated. Yellow does this again to a jungle prince, and, in the last episode, ''the whole world''.
124	* UnwantedRescue: Houquet is not pleased when Ray and Stig interfere in her bar fight.
125	* UnwillingRoboticization: [[spoiler:Rainy Boy, a murderer who targets straggling soldiers from the First and Second Earth Liberation Fleet, was augmented by Inbits forcefully and promised to be changed back to normal once he kill 100 of them.]]
126	* VichyEarth: Inbits generally leave the local communities to their own business as long as they don't rise against them and restrict their use of HBT fuel. However, the lack of any centralized governance by the Inbits meant that banditry is rife among many areas without any form of local securities.
127	* VillainWorld: Inbit's conquest of Earth for three decades has caused humanity to become fragmented. While the towns and cities that were neutral towards the Inbit maintain some modernity, rural settlements and small cities are often at the mercy of motorcycle-riding bandits who also target stragglers from Earth Liberation campaigns.
128	* WaterfallShower: Yellow Belmont does this twice.
129	* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: The general in charge of Third Liberation Fleet is forced to launch missiles loaded with warheads to destroy a large chunk of Earth if not the entire planet as they begin to take casualties. As they were not informed that the Inbit were misguided, this came close to NiceJobBreakingItHero were it not for Refless' AscendedToHigherPlane vaporizing the payloads.]]
130	* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Solzie's thoughts concerning Yellow.
131	* WholesomeCrossdresser: Yellow's actual job is as a singer perceived as female, despite being male, and occasionally changes to his female voice to mess with team members. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] since the entire singer shtick started out as an emergency disguise for him. His previous occupation was more militarily-inclined, and that automatically got him persecuted when the Inbit invaded.
132	* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler: The antagonist of the 21st episode, Rainy Boy, was a human who was experimented on and [[UnwillingRoboticizasion forcefully converted into a]] {{Cyborg}}, which brought him pain to the point of accepting Inbits' deal to kill 100 soldiers in exchange for the return of his organic body parts.]].
133	[[/folder]]
134
135	[[folder: Genesis Breakers Mospeada 2083]]
136	* AmazonBrigade: All of the crews--save for the captain--from submarine S-881 are entirely made up of female crews.
137	* BlueBlood: Mars Base has "Three Families and Four Conglomerates", which was led by Ismeia family that includes Gate as one of its members. They maintained influence on the Mars Base's government due to having the majority of Mars' mineral resources.
138	* BodyBackUpDrive: [[spoiler: Gate is essentially a series of cyborg bodies, which were revived after each deaths.]]
139	* {{Cyborg}}:
140	** Gate's body is heavily modified with cybernetic implants, one of them being her electronic eyes and brain that recorded speech from her family's patriarch uncle, due to serious injuries she received as a child.
141	** Eagle, who received a cybernetic heart after a wound received in his confrontation with a rebel faction on Mars.
142	** Simmons is a major example as he was essentially an android body with a human mind after his death in First Earth Recapture Mission.
143	* DangerousDeserter: Some survivors of the First Earth Recapture Mission--a disastrous campaign that occurs 3 years before the series' present time--turned to banditry, which affected the village that Gate visited, due to being stranded without support and morale to continue their mission.
144	* TheEngineer: Every Jetson served as the team's engineer, which was also reflected in her past as an engineer in a medical device factory.
145	* HeroicSacrifice: The entire crew of ''Thunderchild'' ended up managing to drop the titular Breakers team on Earth despite being on the brink of destruction.
146	* HopelessWar: Since Mars Base had already lost considerable amounts of resources to two Earth liberation campaigns, [[spoiler: the high command intended to use Anubis Missle to [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroy Refless Point along with a large chunk of Earth]] as the back-up plan in case of Third attempt's failure. As many of them were members of Mars independence movement, they have little regard for their homeworld and even plan to recolonize the devastated planet as a payback]].
147	* InterserviceRivalry: The titular "Breakers" unit was not well-liked by the regular Mars military due to their connection to the Mars Intelligence Bureau--who were notorious for their ruthless suppression of dissent since the founding of the Mars-led government--along with many of them having their own secret agenda related to [[BlueBlood prominent families of Mars]].
148	* OlderThanTheyLook:
149	** Every Jetson was sentenced to CryoPrison for 300 years but released after 20 years, which resulted in her appearance as 26 years old despite being in her 40s in actual years. The same may also apply to Gate as her cybernetics and possibly synthetic skin would make her appear younger.
150	** Necessary is a psychic who remained in a child-like body due to experiments for psychic programs. Her biography also omits her age and implies that she may have been the oldest of the main characters since these programs have been running for at least a century before the series' present time.
151	* SergeantRock: Eagle's rank as a Sergeant was complimented by his two decades worth of military experience and current service as a heavy weapons specialist for the Breaker team.
152	* ShoutOut: The destroyer, ''Thunderchild'', is a nod to the warship from Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds1898.
153	* TradingBarsForStripes: Every was a former terrorist who was pardoned in exchange for service in Intelligence Bureau.
154	* TheWarOfEarthlyAggression: In this case, the authoritarian nature of Mars Base's government caused discontent on Jupiter and possibly other colonies. This resentment was shown in the main series through Colonel Johnathan's service records in the flashback of his ceremony, but Genesis Breaker expanded upon that part on Every's involvement with Jupiter rebel group known as "Woodpecker". This was also an issue in a story set moments before Inbit Invasion since the Earth-based government was dealing with Mars Independence movement [[spoiler: who would later become the foundation for Mars Base's military with many of the officers having little regard to damages done to Earth from utilizing large warheads if their third and final attempt fail]].
155	* WeCanRebuildHim: Simmons and thousands of combat androids were created from the mind of those who were either deceased or mortally wounded in First Earth Recapture Mission.
156	* YouAreInCommandNow: Chapter 3 involved a Corporal being the higher ranking member of the 114th Brigade, which the unit already lost half of its units during the descent and later its remaining senior officers (a political advisor and a medical officer) during the fighting. Fortunately, Eagle was already present with the 114th Brigade for assistance in command.
157	* YouKilledMyFather: Gate's older brother was killed in the First Earth Liberation Campaign, which became one of many reasons for her participation in the Breaker team, but Every still doubts his status.
