** Stephen's Aunt is named Cordelia, and married a male rex named Alexander... but since there's already an Alexander in the family, he goes by Xander, a shout-out to [[LiveActionTV/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy.]]
*** Their kids are named after [[Franchise/PowerRangers Power Rangers terms]]: Eltar, Zed, and Moltor.
** Stephen's Uncle is basically a T-Rex expy of [[WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged Father Alexander]]. Except without the supernatural powers. And is a dinosaur.
** The main class of battleship for the TSA is a nearly word-for-word description of ''Halcyon-class'' cruisers from [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Halo]].

* BadassFamily: The Shepards. Stephen Shepard is descended from Owen and Claire, and the descendants of Blue's family basically consider the two families to be one. Shepard's mom, aunt, and uncle are the children of a clone of the original Rexy, [[spoiler: and only abandoned her kids because she was abducted by the Collectors, who were investigating this new race using the relays]]. His aunt Cordelia works with the Interstellar Red Cross as a combat medic, and still has time to raise three little children of her own and have a loving husband. His uncle Alexander is basically [[WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged Father Alexander]], except that he's a tyrannosaurus and not supernatural. And his mom is an Admiral in charge of a dreadnought.

** Virtually everyone agrees that the Patrol Commander in charge of the group that attacked the TSA vessels, which started the Relay 314[=/=]First Contact War, was this, as not only did he pass judgement on a race that had no concept of the laws they were breaking, but started a war with said race. Thankfully, he was killed fairly early on in the conflict.

* RaptorAttack: One codex introduces an all-raptor military unit called the 212th Nublarian Combat Regiment, though it's more commonly referred to as the Velociwreckers. They are based on the Turian Havoc Troops, and so are equipped with jump packs that are capable of extended flight and their hands and feet are sheathed in omni-constructed monomolecular blades. Needless to say, they are flat out ''terrifying'' when they attack.

** Plenty of slavers think there's big money trading in saurians. What they always seem to forget is that the saurians not only are generally bigger than they are, they are just as intelligent as any sapient race and many are strictly carnivorous. And they won't have any qualms about eating would-be slavers.
