Added DiffLines:

* BadBoss: Noble kills one of the technicians who resurrected him for insisting that he remain on leave until he's fully recovered.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Mook}}: The Imperium troops are simply chaff to be mowed down by hero and farmer alike.
* MookLieutenant: The strike team sent to the longhouse is led by a visually distinct commander whose bearded face is visible.


Added DiffLines:

* SchizoTech: This film reveals that schizo-tech isn't limited to the Veldt farmers. The Imperium's dreadnaught spaceships are apparently powered by ''coal'', which is shoveled by hand by Imperium boilermen.

* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: Kora forgoes the helmet part of the disguise after getting on board the King's Gaze. It's an especially egregious example, as [[spoiler: it leads to Admiral Noble being tipped off that she's on board, leading to Gunnar being killed]].

* BlackAndGrayMorality: It's revealed [[spoiler: Kora was part of the coup that put Balisarius in power, even attempting to assassinate the Princess (a child), and fled not because she disagreed with it but because they scapegoated her for the crime afterwards]], and the battle for Veldt involves her and Gunnar committing war crimes [[spoiler: when they pretend to be injured Motherworld soldiers to get on the King's Gaze and slaughter the medics who picked them up]].

Added DiffLines:

* CoolButInefficient: The main batteries of a Motherworld Dreadnaught are devastatingly powerful weapons of mass destruction that can level cities... but they take forever to move into position to aim even at a stationary target. And that's leaving aside the fact that they have to be aimed ''by hand and sight''.

* FascistButInefficient: The massive war machine of the Imperium has brought many worlds under its iron fist, but its logistics are apparently so shoddy that a massive warship's provisions have gotten low enough that it has to spend a week wresting the grain harvest from a village of 50-odd people.



** When Admiral Noble is told about an informant that can take him to the Bloodaxes, he decides to have some rec time with a tentacle beast instead of doing his job and interrogating him, which gives Kora enough time to assemble a team and start coalescing an organised resistance. When he ''does'' meet the informant he has him killed and dissected before verifying whether anything he said was true, which incidentally discourages anyone else from coming to him with information.

Added DiffLines:

* WalkingTank: The second wave of Imperium troops includes beetle-like walking tanks.

Added DiffLines:

* TheScapegoat: Kora is wanted by the Motherworld and Regent Belisarius for [[spoiler:assassinating the royal family]], casually ignoring that while she was involved, she wasn't the ringleader - that was Belisarius himself.

to:

* TheCoup: The death of the Emperor and his heir was one, orchestrated by [[spoiler:Belisarius, because he couldn't accept that the Emperor had decided that there had been enough militant expansion of the Empire, and it was time to focus on consolidating what they'd taken.]]
* EvilIsPetty: The main characters share their reasons for fighting on the eve of battle, virtually all of which stem from unnecessary acts of cruelty by the Empire.
* ExtremelyShortTimespan: The movie takes place over the course of a week. The farmers learn of when Noble will arrive on the day Kora returns, they bring in the harvest over the next three days (something that normally takes them half a month), fortify the village the day after, and then fight the battle the next morning. Given that pace, it's a miracle that anyone had the strength to fight at all as opposed to just falling over asleep mid-battle.
