As a crossover, the fic contains numerous references to Ace Combat series, but not only:

!! Ace Combat related

* [[spoiler: The Burning Talon]] is a combination of Excalibur from AceCombatZero and Stonehenge from AceCombat04.
* Mobius to Mobius 1, the player character from AceCombat04. [[CallBack He even uses the same callsign.]] There are also Talisman and Shamrock, the two leading protagonists of AceCombat6. Finally, Sky Eye. The two latter characters even mention (though it is not explicitly stated) the respective wars they took part in: The Usean Continental War and [[AceCombat5 Operation "Katina"]] (Mobius and Sky Eye) and the Anean Continental War (Shamrock and Talisman).
* Also, the EAF logo is modeled after the [[AceCombat04 ISAF logo]].
* At the end of chapter 9, the ponies sing "Gotta Stay Fly" from AceCombatAssaultHorizon, though with slightly altered lyrics.
* The Gult squadron ("Yellow" in Romanian). For that matter, majority of squadrons names are derived from different Ace Combat games.
* Likewise, most chapters have their titles derived from various mission names in different Ace Combat games.
* Night Raven is named after a superplane from AceCombat3.
* Chapter 18 has Lightning Bolt reading a book about four pegasi ponies who fought in a conflict together and disappeared after said conflict ended. The book's title? ''[[AceCombat5 The Unsung War]]''.
* Red Cyclone's [[spoiler: Fortress Intimidation]] is basically a homage to most major superweapons from AceCombat series. [[spoiler: It's located in [[AceCombatZero The Valley of Kings]], named after [[AceCombat2 Fortress Intolerance]]]] (which Medley [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]]), [[spoiler: has three power generators, similarly to [[AceCombat04 Megalith]], anti-air defense of [[AceCombat6 Chandelier]] and finally, its tunnel is based on the one from AceCombat5. Oh, and the burst missiles are launched from there, too]].

!!Other references

* Some of the griffin names may sound familiar: [[{{Literature/HarryPotter}} Greyback]], [[{{SonicTheHedgehog}} Jet]], [[{{VideoGame/StarFox}} Slip]].
* In chapter 9, Firefly says that there is [[{{Transformers}} more than meets the eye]] about Rainbow Dash.
* When Rainbow Dash comforts Fluttershy in chapter 10, she briefly paraphrases [[{{MetalGear}} Solid Snake]].
--> '''Rainbow Dash''': You may not believe me, but I understand how you feel. Every pony feels horrible when they do something awful for the first time, especially if they kill someone. Unfortunately, killing is one of those things that become easier to bear the more you do it. During the war, all of ponykind’s worst instincts may surface. It’s important to not let them take you over.
