* EliteArmy: The Special Forces.
* TheEmpire: The Khad Empire.

* MasterRace: The Khad Empire.

* RedShirt: Private Fred Perry.

* SergeantRock: Sgt. Tom Campbell.

* WaveMotionGun: A battleship laser can crack a space station, but it won't do much good against a planet, as the beam would diffract in the atmosphere.

* FiveManBand
** Encounter on Saturn

*** TheLancer: Tom Campbell
*** TheBigGuy: Sara Goldberg
*** TheSmartGuy: Alexei Dudinsky
*** TheChick: Larissa Salko

* CapitalCity: Moscow is the capital of Earth, the capital planet of the Solar Union (later Galactic National Republic).

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Similar to in the Russian military, servicemen wear a telnyashka (striped undershirt), and the stripe color denotes the branch of service. In the Galactic National Defence Forces, this is expanded on, and the stripe color is matched by the color of the tabs on the uniform and the band on the CommissarCap.

* GoodLookingPrivates

* HotChickWithASword: Feiwan Zhou.

The primary setting is the Galactic National Republic, the human cosmic state created in the mid-2200s to protect the human planets from alien threats. Its main enemy, the first alien civilization that humans encountered, is the Empire of Khad, populated by humanoids whose homeworld is 1000 light-years away.

* MegaCorp: The banking, transport, construction, and weapon companies are usually the largest. The Fortuna Corporation, for example, has 10 million employees, owns 300 ships, and requires a 1500-foot tower to house its offices. Cosmogas owns 700 stations that extract gas from gas giants. And so forth.

* PrivateMilitaryContractors: Exist, and have to be registered with the government to be able to receive contracts. Cannot be used as a substitute for combat troops. Some P.M.C.s have deserted the GNR and take contracts from the Khad.

** Gold: General Staff
** Red: Special Forces
** Dark Green: Army
** Dark Blue: Navy
** Light Blue: Air Force, aviators, paratroopers
** Black: Space Force
** Turquoise: Medical
** Light Green: National Militia
** Purple: Civil Guard/internal forces
** Grey: Cadets
* CommissarCap: The older, less radically peaked version. Different colors on the hat band denote where the wearer is serving.

* StealthInSpace: Averted. Any spaceship that wants to be worth a damn in a fight, or even move a mile, is going to have to emit a lot of radiation. The best way to avoid detection would be to drop out of hyperspace very close to a planet, which is more difficult the closer you get thanks to the strength of a planet's magnetic field.
* WaveMotionGun: A very powerful laser, like the kinds mounted on the largest spaceships, can burn a hole straight through the crust of a planet, or vaporize a large asteroid. One shot can also crack a space station.

* TheHomeGuard: The National Militia. Derided as the "fun forces" by the regulars, but useful for planetary defence, local space patrols, and other duties the regulars are too big or busy to handle.

*** MrFixit: Lieutenant Commander Jung, Alexei Dudinsky.

*** TheMedic: Ensign Salko.
*** AcePilot: Collins.

* CoolSpaceship: The ''Harmony''.

* TheFederation: The Solar Union, though it is short-lived.

* CapitalCity: Moscow is the capital of Earth, the capital planet of the Galactic National Republic.

* HumanoidAliens: The Khad are seven to eight feet tall with pale pinkish-grey skin, big eyes, and long thin fingers, but at least they have two eyes, a nose, four limbs, and five fingers on each hand. This is because their homeworld, Segh, is fairly close to Earth conditions.

** Named for Earth places: New Earth (capital New Jamestown), Scythia, Parthia, Sabunchi, Sarmatia, New Bashkiria.
** Symbolic: Fortuna, Fidelia, Arcadia.

*** Germanic/Norse: Freya, Hodr, Nerthus, Thor, Wotan, Zisa, Ziu.

*** Japanese: Benten, Bishamon, Daikoku, Ebisu, Fukurokuju, Gama, Hachiman, Hotei, Kudokuten, Raiden, Susano, Uzume.

** Alphanumerical: P-462, P-484.

** Other military ships include landing ships (carry regiments or brigades between planets for surface combat), aviation ships (carry small combat spaceplanes), electronic combat ships (project electromagnetic fields around fleets, intercept enemy communications), hospital ships, repair ships, and various transporters.

** Alphanumerical: ZL-1.

** Named for a person: Kantaria, Lomonosovsk, Korolevsk.

** Small craft include shuttles, shunters (not tugs), interceptors, storm craft (fighter-bomber), and bombers.
** Combat ships include frigates (can take off from and land on planets, attack weak targets), destroyers (protect fleets by laying mines and attacking enemy ships), cruisers (general-purpose warship with tactical missiles, ideal for independent operations), battlecruisers (can lead groups of cruisers to attack enemy fleets), battleships (armed with strategic weapons to attack planets), and dreadnoughts (excessively armed and armored to attack heavily fortified planets or entire star systems, and invariably the flagship).

'''HyperFlight''' is the name {{Tropers/Rlkitterman}} has given to TheVerse in which he has imagined science fiction stories will take place. The premise is that humanity does not contact aliens until 200 years in the future, and the first contact is with an aggressive civilization, which makes humanity aggressive toward aliens in return.

* DeflectorShields: One application of the electromagnetic fields that spaceships project. Deflector shields may also be used to protect planets and important cities. In the latter case, they can only be breached by a metal object on the ground.
* EnergyWeapon: Lasers, ion projectors, and plasma projectors. Lasers have the best range and power, and work by heating the target. Ion projectors are useful for disabling electronics or stunning people, and plasma projectors have very short range, so they are best for blasting doors down...or as flamethrowers.

** New Something: New Earth (capital New Jamestown), Scythia, Parthia, New Bashkiria.
** Symbolica: Fortuna, Fidelia, Arcadia.
** Mythology:

*** Celtic: Olyndicus, Sucellus, Dagda.
*** Germanic/Norse: Freya, Thor, Wotan, Ziu.
*** Greek: Erebus, Polyphemus, Kronos.
