There is also a spinoff series titled ''Earth Light'' which uses the same strategy formula but offers a completely different experience with a new story, setting, and unit roster.

%%Trope list under construction
to:
* AntiAir: The Seeker AAG-4, a sort of light tank designed to be more effective against aircraft than against ground units, the Hawkeye M-107, a dedicated anti-aircraft artillery unit with formidable power and range, and the Falcon FX-1, a plane that can only attack other planes.
* BackFromTheBrink: Before the opening mission, the entire moon has been taken over and, in the opening mission, the player commands the last survivors of the Union army (little of this is mentioned in game though; mainly, it's AllThereInTheManual).
* ColonizedSolarSystem: The game is about a war fought on a colonized Moon.
* ColorCodedArmies: The Union Forces' units and buildings are all green, while TheEmpire's are all blue. Unclaimed factories are yellow, and units that have already moved become gray until the present turn ends.
* DefenselessTransports: Of the game's two transport units, the NC-1 Mule truck averts this, being capable of attacking ground ''and'' air units. The C-61 Pelican plane, however, is totally weaponless, and makes easy prey for other airplanes (all of which have greater movement range).
* DeployableCover: Triggers are somewhat like a form of deployable cover, despite looking like land mines and acting like units for most purposes, though they can neither move or attack once deployed.
* EasyLogistics: Logistics are very easy indeed. No unit ever runs out of fuel or ammunition. Factories can repair any damaged unit in one turn to better-than-new condition.
* GeoEffects: Rough terrain restricts movement range, but it also gives units defensive bonuses. Mountains provide a whopping 40% bonus, though they're inaccessible except to infantry, artillery and aircraft.
* InstantDeathRadius: It's best to avoid moving a ground unit within six hexes of any enemy Atlas SS-80, since the Atlas can then hit it with one of the most powerful attacks in the game. On the advanced maps, the enemy often has multiple Atlases pre-deployed in close proximity. A stand-out example is Deshta, where the enemy base is protected by two Atlases guarding a chokepoint also lined with Triggers.
* InstantWinCondition: If one army captures the other's base camp, they win the battle instantly. The usual way to attempt this is to load an infantry unit into a Pelican and fly it past enemy lines.
* MightyGlacier: The Giant HMB-2 tank is incredibly strong in terms of attack and defense power, but it's also one of the slowest units that can even move on its own.
* NonEntityGeneral: The game gives no characterization to the player character, who is described in no more detail than "Commander of the Union Forces."
* PasswordSave: The game makes level passwords easy by making them identical with the map names, each of which is six letters in length.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: The ordinary music during the player's turn changes when the player gains a 2:1 advantage in unit count. There are also alternate player turn and computer turn themes that play if the computer gains a 2:1 advantage.
* TraumaInn: Factories don't really produce new units; they just build any damaged units that move in back to full strength.
* VeteranUnit: Units' stats improve as they acquire stars for battle experience, finally attaining their full potential when they have one large star.

''Nectaris'' is a TurnBasedStrategy game by Creator/HudsonSoft.
The game takes place in the year 2089, when the Guicy Empire has launched a surprise attack on the Moon and occupied Base Nectaris. The few surviving units of the Union forces strike back to liberate the Moon and save the Earth from the imperial menace.
The principal mechanics of the game can be described briefly:
* Each map has a fixed number of units. All units not on the hexagonal playing field are inside factories, which may be unclaimed to begin with. Only infantry units can capture factories or the enemy base.
* Each unit class has its own movement rate, which can be further limited by terrain or the zones of control exerted by opposing units on surrounding hexes. Some units cannot move once deployed.
* In combat, units gain offensive bonuses for surrounding the enemy and defensive bonuses based on support and terrain. Units receive experience stars for combat.
The game was originally developed for the UsefulNotes/TurboGrafx16 and released in 1989 in Japan and under the title ''Military Madness'' in the U.S. A Japan-exclusive sequel, ''Neo Nectaris'', was released in 1994, taking full advantage of the PC Engine's Super CD-ROM
