'''''Line Rockets''''' is an in-progress [[BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]] fan comic about a convict named Jax who, in exchange for early release from prison, agrees to assist Star Command in infiltrating and taking down a drug ring she used to be a part of. You can read it [[http://hazard-girl.deviantart.com/gallery/46961217 here.]]

'''"Primus"''', Formerly Autopilot 99. Alleged robot supremacist, really all he wants is a little justice.

[[caption-width-right:350:"''Fear'' is a powerful tool, Jax. Use it."]]
'''Zod''', The head of a large gang. He used to be the head of a drug ring on Trade World, and employed Zod and Jax as his lieutenants before Jax was caught by a rival gang, then arrested. In the five years Jax was in prison, Zod has developed an empire and absorbed multiple gangs into his command. His motives are currently unclear, but he has a suspiciously strong grip on the mission Jax and XR have been sent on by Star Command.

* PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars: Jax's cuts and stab wounds on her hip.

* AdultFear: Jax being [[spoiler: tortured and raped.]] The possibility for XR to [[lose his home and potentially the lives of his friends.]]

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Gender-flipped.

-->''Jax'': Just shut the ''fuck'' up, XR! ''I am not keeping things from you!'' But I am sick to fuck of your bitching! I can drive a ship if I have to, so either shut your fucking mouth and get behind the fucking controls or get off this fucking ship and find your own fucking way to wherever the fuck you want to go! I'm done with this!

[[caption-width-right:350:"Just shut the fuck up, XR!"]]

[[caption-width-right:350:"'''Primus''': Don't tell me you're getting ''soft''.'''Jax''': ''Never.''"]]

* ALphaBitch: A rare male example. Ves was this as a teenager, and never quite grew out of it. It's only ever worked to his advantage.

--> '''Jax''': ''Never.''"]]

[[caption-width-right:350:

* PoliceState

* {{Robosexual}}: Natch.

* SympatheticPOV: A major theme of the comic. While BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand's main focus is on the best of the best, Line Rockets follows the story of an overconfident but successful criminal turned depressed, JadedWashout being put through a system that favors only the inhumanly good, or at least those who are percieved as such, after experiencing a traumatic event and betrayal.

[[caption-width-right:350:"No need to thank me, seeing you happy will be its own reward. Well I guess you ''could'' thank me, but don't stress yourself over it."]]

* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: Though it might just be "Can't Act Perverted Toward Someone Who Might Kill You For Being Annoying." It's hard to say.

* ArmyOfThievesAndWhores: Zod's faction.

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: Jax for XR, eventually [[spoiler: the "criminal element" for Star Command.]]
