History Fanfic / EarthARendezvousWithDestiny

* ColdWar: The story is set during an alternate 1960s/1970s and it also technically falls under the trope SpaceColdWar as well due to congruently being placed in the events of ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic''.

* CoolGuns/BattleRifles: It is revealed that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has officially adopted the United States Rifle, Caliber 7.62 mm, M14 as their main service weapon over other contenders such as the Fabrique Nationale FAL, Heckler & Koch G3, and the Italian BM-59. As a sidenote, though while not technically a Battle Rifle, the M16 also fell on the wayside in the story due to reliability issues and it is hinted that Armalite officially shuttered their doors for good as a result of the failed marketing.

But as of Halloween / October 31st, 2022, the story is on hold and undergoing a revision due to a change of background. This page will be updated and edited as soon as the changes are completed.

* DownOnTheFarm: It is revealed to the readers that Jake is a farm boy from Franklin Township, Marion County, Indiana[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Township,_Marion_County,_Indiana]]; an area that used to be predominantly rural until recently despite being less than twenty miles away from the state capitol of UsefulNotes/{{Indianapolis}}.

** It is also hinted that the chaos of TheSixties was not only condensed to 1965 - 1967 but was also TurnedUpToEleven as well.

** The United States Marine Corps also adopted the aforementioned manual in 1912 and it was the official course of fire for the Leathernecks until 1942 when it was dropped.

* TotallyNotAWerewolf: As revealed above, the stranded Sith survivors were mistaken to be Demons and while ambiguous, it is revealed that a few of the Crusaders actually did endure a demonic incursion prior to this occurrence, hinting that there's another player yet to be revealed.

** It is confirmed by the author of the fanfic that the character is even more of a reactionary compared to her son and Jake is already on the fringe as it is.

** Plus that's not to mention that UsefulNotes/JosephMcCarthy waz vindicated due to finding actual Soviet spies and has been actively engaged in rooting out KGB Agents.

** UsefulNotes/GeorgeSPatton and UsefulNotes/ErwinRommel are still alive in addition to UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy, who survived the assassination attempt in Dallas. Unexpectedly, even UsefulNotes/TELawrence appeared alive and well with Lawrence being mentioned to have conducted guerrilla warfare in Singapore against the Japanese, which led him to become known as "The Lion of Singapore" in addition to being "Lawrence of Arabia" of the previous World War.

* RunningGag: Quite a few such as the mixed reception of Series/StarTrek:TheOriginalSeries within the Star Wars Galaxy, Grandmaster Satele Shan becoming a Trekkie, Brits and Imperials referring to eachother as "Imposters", the fact that Jake consistently denies the existence of the Force, and even direct as well as subtle references to the Franchise/StarWars films.

** The fact that Viet Cong infiltrators were active in the State of California and were openly cooperating with collaborators did not help in the slightest in addition to the seemingly ceaseless rioting by the counterculture.

* BritishNazis: The Sith Empire. The Imperials and at times the Sith are frequently referred to as "Space Brits","Space Nazis","Goosesteppers", or some variation of derision. The miffed Tommies mostly call them "Imposters" due to obvious reasons.

* AntiMagic: Due to the fact that Earth is not located within the Star Wars Galaxy, anything and everything originating from the Milky Way Galaxy is unphased by the Force, the fact of which is handicapping the Sith from utilizing telekinesis directly on the outside threat.

** Oh and UsefulNotes/AlCapons as well as Bugs Moran are still in the picture with Capone becoming the head of The Commission.

The story is set in an [[AlternateHistory alternate]] [[TheSixties 1960s]] Earth placed in the same universe as ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' which by unsought circumstance was thrown into an intergalactic war against the Sith Empire.
