5	!!This game contains examples of:
6	* {{Animesque}}: The game's character artwork is very anime-style.
7	* EnemyCivilWar: [[spoiler:The Revi are actually split up into factions, and there are a lot of secret missions to maintain contact with the more-friendly ones.]]
8	* {{Expy}}: The Revi Empire is one to the Kilrathi, down to the color scheme - they even have a ship class named the Gril'kath similar to the Kilrathi Grikath!
9	** The Republic of Vega one to the Union of Border Worlds, complete with independence movement and being hated by some within the UEA.
10	** Captain Ross is one to Admiral Tolwyn - adversarial relationship with the hero at first sight, and irrational hatred of frontier people. [[spoiler:However, he doesn't live long enough to embody any of the elements seen in Wing Commander 4.]]
11	** Ice Wind is one of Maniac - crazy pilots with an inflated sense of self. [[spoiler:But Maniac followed Blair to the Union of Border Worlds, whereas Ice Wind betrays Banshee.]]
12	** Knight is one of Paladin - older veteran men with beards.
13	** Valkyrie is one of Angel - to the point of saying the line, "What is the point? I assume you have one?" similar to one of Angel's very first lines in Wing Commander 1.
14	** Ayame has some elements of Spirit - including the line "I am pleased to report that I have destroyed an enemy vessel." [[spoiler:She also takes Angel's aspect of being Banshee's main partner and lover.]]
15	** Both of the mechanics have a physical resemblance to Rachel Coriolis.
16	** The Changdao-class heavy fighter has a similar cockpit and weapons loadout to the Longbow.
17	* HypocriticalHumor: Ice Wind complains about the lack of discipline of the militia pilots. He's the reincarnation of Maniac. Think about that for a second.
18	* LaResistance: [[spoiler:The Republic of Vega, after the main campaign.]]
19	* MeleeATrois: [[spoiler:The Republic of Vega, the UEA, and the Revi, by the end of the main campaign.]]
20	* PunctuationShaker: The Revi Empire have a lot of apostrophes in their ship names and speech.
21	* YouAreInCommandNow: [[spoiler:Captain Ross and many others on the bridge get killed by an ambush on the Canopus, so Athena is the next ranking officer alive to become Captain. Panther becomes CAG.]]
22	* YouNoTakeCandle: The Revi learn some basic taunts in English, such as "You... die... me... happy!"
