** Kane references ''StarWars'' while talking to Saracino, saying that "Director, I find your lack of faith disturbing." He's grinning the whole time, so it's quite clear he ''knows'' what he's referencing.

* NoKillLikeOverkill: GDI's approach to warfare is pure, unrelenting firepower coupled with DisproportionateRetribution. For comparison to the original timeline, the assault on Torfan was a ground attack through the pirates' tunnels. In this timeline, Torfan's base was orbitally obliterated by an ion cannon barrage that destroyed the complex and everything within fifty kilometers of the base.

* StandardSciFiFleet: WordOfGod has laid out that the different navies of both GDI and Nod have distinct compositions and doctrines. GDI's fleet primarily consists of carriers and lighter ships, with an emphasis on base-hopping and resource and convoy interdiction, with enormous, heavily-armed fleets for destroying hardened targets and "super-heavy carriers" based on MCV technology that are designed to supply cluster-wide operations. Nod, on the other hand, uses larger numbers of lighter cruisers, complete with long-range fighters and light carriers, with an emphasis on destroying enemy supplies and support and avoiding a decisive engagement, causing the enemy to waste resources and spread himself thin defending against constant attacks.

Written by the same author behind ''Fanfic/{{Tiberium Wars}}'' and ''Fanfic/{{Forward}}.'' Notable for the level of depth involved in depicting the effect that a GDI-led humanity would have on the galaxy. For example, GDI's use of artificial intelligences and their general-purpose xenophobia has resulted in GDI remaining independent of the Citadel, while their access to Tiberium and their advanced technology (i.e. ion cannons) enables them to remain on a par with the Citadel militarily. It is implied but not outright stated that this universe's Earth is set after the "good" ending to ''Tiberium Wars'' (as opposed to ''Tiberian Twilight'', which is set after the "bad" ending). The story also draws a great deal of inspiration from the canceled ''Tiberium'' game, using various designs, weapons, and uniforms from the game, such as the Integrated Combat Suit and a variant of the GD-10 weapon.
