* YouCantThwartStageOne: During the "Tug of War" mission, you can actually eliminate the Sabaoth Destroyer and Nym even excitedly says that [[TemptingFate they're salvage operation can't be stopped now]] after getting rid of it, only for '''another''' Sabaoth Destroyer to appear a few moments later, Bella even laughs after Nym's shocked dialogue concludes. And this Destroyer '''can't''' be eliminated like the previous one as this second Destroyed has PlotArmor that lets it survive with near-death hull strength and thus enforcing this trope, much to Nym's (and by extension the player's) frustration.

* TheProudElite[=/=]MegaCorp: Siri hangs a lampshade over the [[Characters/StarWarsSeparatistAlliance Separatist Alliance]] being comprised of rich bigwigs like the Commerce Guild and the [=InterGalactic=] Banking Clan. Taken UpToEleven with the Sabaoth Squadron PMC, the vile power-hungry BigBad faction who are rich enough to buy their own mercenary ''fleet'' and whose name translates (from real-life Hebrew) to "hosts of heaven".

* ZeroEffortBoss: You can kill the FinalBoss by just flying in a circle on the far side of the map and spamming Force lightning.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler: Vana unexpectedly gets a panicked message from Reti, who's apparently on the run from serious trouble. Cue the rest of the Revenants dashing off the save him, their futures uncertain. Nym ends up alive and a Rebel sympathizer.]]

** Complete the right secondary and hidden objectives, and you can fly an X-wing, a TIE fighter, or the ''Slave I''.

** Your wingmates during the battle of Geonosis includes The Dark Woman, Siri Tachi, and A'Sharad Hett [[YoungFutureFamousPeople the future Darth Krayt]]

* BilingualBonus: Sabaoth Squadron uses the Hebrew word for "hosts of heaven." And when they show up, you can expect a lengthy and gritty battle.
* BlackAndWhiteMagic: Averted. Force Lightning and Force Shockwave are Dark Side powers by Yoda's definition, but Adi doesn't mind using them.

* NotInMyContract: When Jango Fett shows up to collect the bounty on Reti- '''Nym:''' "Reti?! Reti has a BOUNTY on him?" -he cuts his cameo short to pursue the fleeing Toydarian, since his current employer never mentioned anything about fending off a full-scale offense.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Reti shows up at the beginning of the game, scared out of his mind and looking to meet with a Jedi. However, Adi's interest is in using him to meet with Nym. During the first mission, shortly after Reti and Galia make contact, the ''Slave I'' makes an appearance (labeled "???") before zooming off again when it sees the Trade Federation already in combat with Gallia. The ''Slave I'' shows up to chase Reti off again later in the game. In the same mission, eagle-eyed players can spot a Sabaoth frigate spying on the battle, and it flees if attacked, foreshadowing the group's appearance later in the game.

* MightyGlacier: The LAAT Gunship. Slower than all other ships save for the ''Havoc,'' but it comes with several limited missiles, and the rechargeable mini-SPHAT lasers that can reduce many ships to scrap in only a couple of seconds. In fact, it alone can make short work of everything but the endgame capital ships.

* HitScan: The LAAT's mini-SPHAT lasers do damage on whatever your target indicator is hovering over.

In the old ''Legends'' canon, Nym ended up alive and a Rebel sympathizer, but no one else's fates were revealed before ''Legends'' was discontinued.]]

A ''Franchise/StarWars'' game featuring starfighter combat, it is a direct sequel to ''VideoGame/StarWarsStarfighter'', taking place ten years later, immediately prior to ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Force shockwave. It takes forever to recharge, and anything you were planning to do with it could be done just as easily with either Force lightning or Force timeslow.

* BlackAndWhiteMagic: Averted. Force lightning and Force shockwave are dark side powers, but Adi doesn't mind using them.

It's the eve of the Clone Wars. Count Dooku has made a deal with Sabaoth scientist named Cavik Toth has created a biological weapon that could be used against the Republic. Meanwhile, Adi Galia has been tasked with recruitin the mercenary Nym to aid Republic efforts in the inevitable war with the Separatists.

However, several Hex weapons have already been created, and you must now destroy all of them and kill Cavik Toth before they can be used against the Republic in the Battle of Geonosis.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: One mission features a Sabaoth Destroyer launching tugs the player must intercept. You may try to destroy it outright, allowing your own tugs to salvage in peace. Cue another Destroyer warping in while the enemy commander laughs maniacally.
