* PlanetOfHats: [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]]. While many species have hats, i.e. the Draken being a ProudWarriorRace, the character creation section makes a point that just because a species has a predilection toward a particular mindset, the player shouldn't feel limited to that. Some species actively subvert it as well. For example, the Granks were genetically engineered to be extremely resistant to change in their society, so they established a practice known as the Exchange where they routinely shuffle their population around to new cities and worlds in order to actively foster growth and adaptation in their people, turning them into a hyper-dynamic society. Another example is the Fermorians, who deliberately altered their genome and society to push them away from being mindless warriors and instead turning themselves into scholars and scientists.

** OurZombiesAreDifferent: Superpowerful techno-zombies more comparable to TheTerminator than the shambling brain-eaters common in fiction.
*PoweredArmor
PoweredArmor: Ubiquitous. All Legionaires wear highly advanced "Spartan" armor, while other, less-powerful armor types are available across the board for Imperial, Republic, and unaffiliated troops.
*RealityWarper
RealityWarper: Mastery, pretty much ripped straight from MageTheAscension. The Imperium has their own Mastery corps and countless supersoldiers capable of using it, while the Republic relies on their Guild of Masters (an expy of [[StarWars the Jedi Order]]). Mastery is also used by the Ancients, and is ''incredibly'' powerful.
*SpaceClothes
SpaceClothes: Suitskin, an ubiquitous form of color-changing, shape-changing clothing that protects from falls, fire, blades, etc. So commonplace that even the poverty-stricken Imperium populace has it as common clothing.
*{{Transhuman}}
{{Transhuman}}: Everyone. Even the average Imperial citizen has genetic material from the Empress in them, making them smarter, stronger, and more beautiful than modern-day humanity.
*TheVirus
TheVirus: Multiple types. One type of virus, courtesy of the Death Factory, is an anti-tank beast capable of infecting other living creatures and turning them into mor eof itself. There's also a viral fleet, much like the Beast from {{Homeworld}}, along with vampires and zombies.
*WeHaveReserves
WeHaveReserves: The core Imperial doctrine. No matter how many soldiers and ships they lose, they have countless trillions of the former and millions more of the latter.
*WorldOfBadass
WorldOfBadass: By design. Having a 1 in any stat or skill, you are automatically comparable to the very best that a modern human can potentially be in that area, and you only go ''up'' from there. I.e. Strike (martial arts) of 1 makes you comparable to Bruce Lee. Most Imperial troops (the cannon-fodder mooks) have stats of 1 across the board minimum, making the faceless hordes of poor-trained conscripts that the Legionaires will shred more capable than the best special forces in the modern world.
*ZergRush
ZergRush: The Imperium's tried-and-true tactic. They're wearing the Republic down through pure attrition.
*ZombieApocalypseZombieApocalypse: One of the [[TheVirus viral]] threats is a spreading techno-zombie disease. However, these zombies are superhumanly fast and strong, able to chuck cars are run as fast as the same.

*CoolVersusAwesome
CoolVersusAwesome: The Game.
*CrapsackWorld
CrapsackWorld: The Imperium in general consists of countless worlds covered in vast cities that have nearly lawless anarchy, where conscription and brainwiping are commonplace and the Imperial Fleet can legally come by and take anything they want. On the flip side, while the Republic is relatively pristine, everyone ther elives in fear of the Imperium breaking through the defense lines and obliterating their planets without warning.

''Strike Legion'' is a sci-fi SpaceOpera [[TabletopGame tabletop pen-and-paper]] roleplaying game set in a distant future of highly-advanced technology and vast, galactic war. The aggressive and tyrannical [[TheEmpire Imperium]] is waging an endless war with the [[TheAlliance Star Republic]], a democratic society of intermixed human, alien, and genetically-engineered species. The Imperium possesses [[WeHaveReserves great numbers] and [[ZergRush cheap troops and warships]] while the Star Republic possesses highly-advanced technology, expert warriors, and a powerful navy. However, the Republic's Fleet can barely hold the line against the constant, tireless onslaught of the Imperium's endless numbers and ever-expanding arsenal of [[SuperSoldier supersoldiers]], [[MechaMook robots]], [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke genetically-constructed bioweapons]], and [[RealityWarper reality-bending archmagi.]] The Republic is forced to turn to their greatest weapon: the Legion, a small, elite force of the very best operatives in the entire Republic, subjected to a grueling and often-lethal process that turns them from mere mortals into nearly-godlike supersoldiers. These Legionaires are outfitted with the most advanced weapons and technology in the Republic and sent on [[WeDoTheImpossible the most insane and dangerous missions]] in an effort to destroy the Imperium's military infrastructure from within. Whether destroying shipyards, fomenting rebellion, assassinating aspiring admirals, or disrupting research, the Legion's missions are vital and often perilous, pitting them against the most dangerous enemies the Imperium can muster. But that's fine, as [[OneManArmy the Legion]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction can handle that.]]
''Strike Legion'' is best described as the ultimate end result of XMeetsY, UpToEleven, and CoolVersusAwesome. The setting draws directly from countless other sci-fi and fantasy works, combining them together into a single amalgam and then turning everything up to an extreme degree. Pick a franchise, and it likely gets refenced somewhere. Everything from {{Halo}} to {{Warhammer40000}} to [[TheLordOfTheRings Tolkein]] to [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]] to {{Prototype}} to {{Highlander}} to TheCulture to WorldOfDarkness gets referenced. Technology and firepower are absurdly scaled up in the setting; as the page quote notes, it is entirely possible to have a grenade launcher that can destroy the planet you stand on. Mixed in with this is a schlocky sort of BlackAndWhiteMorality, with the Imperium being unquestionably evil and the Republic being the last bastion of freedom. The setting in many ways CrossesTheLineTwice, with the Imperium being so [[cardCarryinVillain classically over-the-top in its ruthless villainy]] that it loops right back around to being ''awesome''. (Seriously, they have a [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom DOOM LEGION, which includes DOOM TROOPS who deploy from the DOOM FORTRESS, and commanded by a Doctor Doom]] {{Expy}}.)
