TheWarOfEarthlyAggression: The comic milks the "morally ambiguous" version of this trope for all it is worth: the Terrans have a StateSec and use biological warfare; The Colonials use ChildSoldiers as kamikazes and torture their prisoners. On balance the Terrans come out slightly on top, since most of their viewpoint characters are noble warrior types whereas the Colonials' commander tends to do MagnificentBastard things like deliberately sacrificing his own troops as bait.

''[[http://www.angels2200.com/ Angels 2200]]'' is a {{webcomic}} done by Peter Haynes and Nathaniel Savio. The webcomic combines SpaceOpera, ImprobablyFemaleCast, GirlsLove, and WarIsHell.
Humanity on Earth and its colonies has undergone a [[{{Gendercide}} plague that has killed off the vast, vast majority of men]] thus humanity's armed forces are now entirely women. Concurrently, the colonies have been rebelling against Earth. The Terran Navy has sent one of their more minor resources--the aptly named and obsolescent carrier ''Outcast''--to deal with an uprising on the Risae asteroid belt.
But even aboard the Outcast the Icebreaker flight squad stands out as a RagtagBunchOfMisfits, both poorly trained and untested. Unfortunately, it looks like Icebreaker squad will be the ones called upon to be the heroes. They include:
* Sasha "Hammer" Carelli (Hometown: New York City): Squad Commander. Daughter of a decorated Terran Navy pilot.
* Franchesca "Kid" Martines (Mariot, France): TheIngenue, probably the ship's most naturally-gifted pilot. Sensitive and idealistic to a fault.
* Juanita "Quetzalcoatl (Quetz)" Valdez, (Mexico City): Hammer's wingman. Squad' s best pilot. NotGoodWithPeople
* Mary "Whiskey" O'Riley (Limerick, Ireland): [[{{Oireland}} Walking Irish stereotype]]. (Which she intentionally plays up). Would probably be the team's "Heart", if Kid weren't around
* Mitsabi "Bubblegum" Kiseko (Kyoto, Japan): Less emotionally stable than Kid. Fancies herself a detective. [[WriteWhoYouKnow Based on the author's wife]].
* Rebecca "Loser" Bradley (Rural Kansas, USA): Hammer's best friend, habitual brig occupant.

* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: Hammer considers telling Kid how she feels when choosing to stay behind on the Ellie Arroway, but decides it would be completely inappropriate.

''[[http://www.angels2200.com/ Angels 2200]]'' is a {{webcomic}} done by Peter Haynes and Nathaniel Savio. The webcomic combines SpaceOpera, ImprobablyFemaleCast, GirlsLove, and WarIsHell.
Humanity on Earth and its colonies has undergone a [[{{Gendercide}} plague that has killed off the vast, vast majority of men]] thus humanity's armed forces are now entirely women. Concurrently, the colonies have been rebelling against Earth. The Terran Navy has sent one of their more minor resources--the aptly named and obsolescent carrier ''Outcast''--to deal with an uprising on the Risae asteroid belt.
But even aboard the Outcast the Icebreaker flight squad stands out as a RagtagBunchOfMisfits, both poorly trained and untested. Unfortunately, it looks like Icebreaker squad will be the ones called upon to be the heroes. They include:
* Sasha "Hammer" Carelli (Hometown: New York City): Squad Commander. Daughter of a decorated Terran Navy pilot.
* Franchesca "Kid" Martines (Mariot, France): TheIngenue, probably the ship's most naturally-gifted pilot. Sensitive and idealistic to a fault.
* Juanita "Quetzalcoatl (Quetz)" Valdez, (Mexico City): Hammer's wingman. Squad' s best pilot. NotGoodWithPeople
* Mary "Whiskey" O'Riley (Limerick, Ireland): [[{{Oireland}} Walking Irish stereotype]]. (Which she intentionally plays up). Would probably be the team's "Heart", if Kid weren't around
* Mitsabi "Bubblegum" Kiseko (Kyoto, Japan): Less emotionally stable than Kid. Fancies herself a detective. [[WriteWhoYouKnow Based on the author's wife]].
* Rebecca "Loser" Bradley (Rural Kansas, USA): Hammer's best friend, habitual brig occupant.

* CurseCutShort: Quite often when the FBomb is about to be dropped, particularly in one ShoutOut to ''Film/DieHard''.
