She knows helping the Ba’ren cure osteosarcoma will kick-start her biomedical engineering career, not to mention allow her to learn more about the mysterious aliens.Sepporinen, a young Ba’ren asteroid miner, cares little about meeting humans.

| Star City / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: Emma and Liam Smith are huge science fiction fans. They regularly reference popular works such as Star Trek and use what they learned to deal with the Ba'ren, to various degrees of success. | |

Ba'ren military fightercrafts are banned by the diplomats from even approaching Earth orbit. In "The Test", the fact that the Guards violated this ban made their action suspicious to Sepporinen and his companions. | |

Klingons Love Shakespeare: Most Ba'ren on Earth Mission are obsessed with, or at least want to learn more about, human cultures. | |

Ominous Floating Spaceship | |
| Star City / int_4aa5f9f7 | comment |
Ominous Floating Spaceship: Purposely subverted by the aliens. The Ba'ren has eight huge [[The Mothership} starcrafts]] as part of their Earth Mission, along with countless smaller spacecrafts. However, their diplomats only allowed two of the starcrafts to come to Earth and limit them to orbit the planet at long distances so that they do not scare the humans. Ba'ren scientists complain about this policy as they need to be closer to Earth to study the planet. Ba'ren military fightercrafts are banned by the diplomats from even approaching Earth orbit. In "The Test", the fact that the Guards violated this ban made their action suspicious to Sepporinen and his companions. | |

Planet of Hats | |
| Star City / int_67f26dcc | comment |
Planet of Hats: Very much subverted for the Ba'ren. They are very much a multi-planet, multicultural species. Invoked by humans who are ignorant and/or hate the Ba'ren. Lampshaded in reverse by the Ba'ren. Their researchers complain that it's hard to translate Earth media because the humans do not have a common, culture-neutral language, instead comprising of many different languages and cultures. | |

| Star City / int_b9d334b2 | comment |
Aerith and Bob: Human characters usually have common, "normal" English names, such as Emma or Michael, while Ba'ren characters have bizarre "alien" names, e.g. Sepporinen or Ngizzida. | |
