comment
Star Traders: Frontiers is space-faring Indie Game developed by Trese Brothers and released for the PC on Steam in 2018. In a futuristic science fiction setting, the player takes command of a starship and seeks to earn their fortune among the stars by performing any one of a wide variety of occupations, from the titular space trading and patrolling shipping lanes to less reputable professions such as smuggling or piracy. In addition, the player can take missions from the various factions that control worlds throughout the galaxy, both side quests and story content. While doing this, the player must manage their crew and ship, which can be fully customized to suit whatever profession or play style they prefer.While the combat in Star Traders is turn-based, it features a dynamic evolving universe that changes with the passage of time. Time passes with actions the player takes, which eventually close off the availability of certain story content and open up new potential story chains. Thus the player must carefully manage their game time to complete the most content in the shortest amount of time and prioritize which missions are more important to complete.

comment
Abusive Precursors: The Narividians, created by the long dead Xarth. Their influence and subversion of the FTL comm network built by the Planetary Guild directly led to the enslavement of the Guild and the Guild War that destroyed the Galactic Core. To a lesser extent, the Alfaan, who created the Xeno to fight the Xarth, though unlike the Narvidians, who are extremely intelligent, the Xeno are more like wild animals. Hungry, semi-organic and vicious animals.

Retired Badass: While various contacts are "retired" forms of certain professions, the two that play this trope the straightest are the Retired Duelist and Retired Xeno Hunter. One of the outcomes of the "Call of the Strong" minor plotline results in the captured stormtrooper becoming a Weapons Dealer.

Dirty Coward
 Star Traders: Frontiers (Video Game) / int_1235f055
comment
Dirty Coward / Lovable Coward: Surrendering can actually be a viable tactic to avoid combat, with the benefit of avoiding time and money lost repairing the resulting ship damage. If you have an empty cargo hold, or trade permit with pirates from a faction you are on reasonably on good terms with, and surrender to them, they will let you go on your way. Likewise, surrendering to bounty hunters or military ships from friendly factions will be fine as long as you are not carrying contraband cargo. The only penalty is a morale loss. You can exploit this with the bounty hunter Draiv Solregard - run away from him enough times, and he'll call off the warrant, though you won't get the Experience reward that you would from beating him in ship combat.

Early Game Hell
 Star Traders: Frontiers (Video Game) / int_1527d90d
comment
Early Game Hell: The game is absolutely brutal at the start, particularly on hard difficulty where permadeath applies. Your starting ship is badly underpowered and generally inefficient at whatever task you want to use it for, while your low-level crew don't have the skills required to pass the game's constant skill checks with any degree of consistency. Expect to take constant ship, crew, and morale damage while merely traveling through space as a result. Furthermore, your lack of standing and trade permits also means you won't be able to access the game's high end cargo at any place other then indie worlds.

Big, Screwed-Up Family: The Faen family from the opening story are a backstabbing mess. When Valencia is framed for the bombing of the Highwind Orbital Station, her brother Erik and aunt Zette scheme to turn the resulting Duel of Assassins to their own advantage, while letting her die "for the good of the family." Even worse, play through Valencia's storyline and you'll learn that one of them (which one is random) was the one responsible for the bombing!

Explosions in Space: Missile and Torpedo weapons are perfectly viable, and are shown displaying explosions when they hit. Missile weapons can even inflict the "Secondary Explosions" Crippling Effect. If you destroy a ship instead of disabling it, while the text states that their "hull ruptures", the graphics show it exploding.

Hyperspace Is a Scary Place: The Hyperwarp is another dimension that is rife with dangerous energy currents and used for inter-quadrant travel. In addition to the normal time dilation effects being magnified, failure to navigate safely can lead to the ship and crew being damaged by cascading energy surges.

Space Pirates: A frequently encountered threat throughout the galaxy. The vast majority of them are actually privateers; if you're friendly with their faction, they're more likely to pass you by than board you (if you have a trade permit with their faction, you can even let them board you with no repercussions), and fighting them is liable to piss off the otherwise legal factions. You can also be one yourself. On the individual level, "Pirate" is a possible profession for your crew members. Their talents focus naturally focus on maximizing plunder and helping you dispose of it.

Boring, but Practical: Trading. It's the simplest and most straight-forward of all the tasks you can do in the game, but it is quite profitable with the right ship and crew talents. Certain types of mission-running, specifically the ones that involve carrying passengers or special cargo to a destination, are also simple and profitable (in both credits and reputation), even if they take a while.

Obstructive Code of Conduct
 Star Traders: Frontiers (Video Game) / int_3b0fd855
comment
Obstructive Code of Conduct: Shalun Law is invoked frequently to explain both limits on your character (no FTL communications, Star Traders are restricted to starports and unexplored wilderness zones only) and the lack of certain changes to the wider setting (the different factions are barred from conquering or settling new planets). Blatant violations would presumably be punished by everyone else ganging up on the offender along with a massive beatdown from the Templars, but the existence of black markets dealing in otherwise-contraband xeno artifacts (among other things) seems to be quietly tolerated by everyone, and some missions involve your team having to bend the letter of the law to accomplish your objectives.

Power Source
 Star Traders: Frontiers (Video Game) / int_3eccc27b
comment
Power Source: A starship's Void Reactor runs on tritium-oxide fuelnote  Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen that has two neutrons, which gives it an atomic mass of 3, hence the name, though in-universe it's usually just referred to as "Water-Fuel". This trope comes into play when it's stated that spacers believe that drinking the fuel is what allows them to live their long lives and otherwise withstand the forces at play within the void. Though, they're careful to only drink the human-refined form, and not the naturally-occurring variety from various gas giants or asteroids, as they believe that to cause madness and illness.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Computers and some degree of automated electronic devices are legal, but Shalun Law forbids machines that can do things without human supervision, i.e. no autonomous drones, no self running factories, no AI, etc. This is largely because of the Narvidians, AI aliens that destroyed the Galactic Core.

Cast from Hit Points: The Blade Dancer's "Forbidden Edge" talent gives them considerable buffs, as well as causing an also-considerable level of bleeding.

Casual Interstellar Travel: Traveling through space is as simple as clicking on your destinations. Though this subverted in universe. Traveling in a ship that uses a Void Engine can lead to all sorts of nasty effects, such as radiation and heavy metal poisoning, in addition to slowing or even stopping some bodily functions. This is why so many spacers consume spice regularly. In addition to its intoxicating effects, it can help the body process and deal with the ravages of space travel. On the bright side, the Void Engine messing with human metabolism means that spacers can often live for centuries, unless they die violently first.

comment
Enforced Cold War: Downplayed with Shalun Law; it isn't actively provoking tensions, but it creates a series of ritualized legal conflicts between factions that avoid actual all-out war. One of the worst you can get is a Duel of Assassins, which is a formalized series of lethal bounty hunts mediated by a neutral party, before open season is declared on you for destabilizing galactic society. The closest that comes to all out war is a Solar War, which sees Star Traders hired to attack military targets.

Their story is, in fact, told in their own game, Templar Battleforce.

Lost Technology: Downplayed. Despite the Exodus, the opening of the Hyperwarp gates has led to the re-distribution of technology, and the fact that so long as the local infrastructure is a sufficient level, any Starport can construct any ship, and with other levels, the same goes for ship components. In a straight example, some of the best weapons/armor/specialist equipment in the game can be acquired through salvaging abandoned orbitals, especially Derelict Space Hives, which are specifically stated to be "from an ancient era".

Overdrive: Present both outside and inside of ship combat. When you make a ship encounter, there are the "Skip Off the Void" and "Flash Charge" talents, which burn fuel and cause damage to your engine, to allow you to instantly escape combat and start at a closer range, respectively. During combat, there are several talents among these lines, but the most straight is "Reactor Overclocking", which gives you 2 extra RP (Reactor Points), at the cost of doing crew and component damage for a few turns.

A fully upgraded top-of-the-line Cool Starship owned by a particularly successful Star Trader can represent an investment of millions of credits, which itself may only be a fraction of their total assets.

comment
Morale Mechanic: Keeping your crew morale up is critically important. Crewmen with low morale may desert the ship on your next port stop. If the entire crew morale sinks too low, there could be a mutiny. In crew combat, crew with excessively low morale are likely to suffer a Morale Break, which results in effectively a wasted turn. Obviously, Xeno deal very large amounts of it, though there are also crew talents that can damage or heal it.

Black Market Produce
 Star Traders: Frontiers (Video Game) / int_7ba4adea
comment
Black Market Produce: Subtly implied by game mechanics — high-value Luxury Rations both have a lower Legality rating than other foodstuffs and require a Trading Permit to buy and sell, meaning that in some uncommon circumstances your only option is to trade them on the Black Market. Less luxurious foodstuffs, by contrast, can be bought and sold damn near anywhere (providing you can access the market in the first place).

Badass Army: One of the worse results when salvaging results in your ship being boarded by an elite paramilitary group, who are likely much higher level than you. Downplayed, though, as they likely don't have the best equipment, compared to what you've gained from aforementioned salvaging. Zendu Templar also count, though you don't encounter any in gameplay. Justified due to their Genetic Memory, which Brokstrom describes as "centuries of muscle memory" for combat.

Revenge: The justice system of Shalun Law is referred to as "retribution justice." There's no central system of law enforcement; instead, if a member of a faction has been wronged by another faction and the wrongdoer refuses to offer restitution, they can seek retribution through a Duel of Assassins, where both sides take out death warrants against those on the other side who have wronged them.

Frontier Doctor: Downplayed, as only zones with a sufficient Economy rating will have medical services available - but justified, given that there's only no medical service for Star Traders - their doctors are likely busy healing their own populace, and Spacers have unique biological needs thanks to living in the presence of a Void Engine. Doctor crew have a talent available that lets them become this, which allows you to gain Reputation with the local Faction equal to a portion of your ship's Medical Rating (which requires dedicated components), so long as said Medical Rating is higher than the zone's Economy.

Timed Mission

comment
Timed Mission: Downplayed: ostensibly, all missions have a time limit, but this usually just results in a reduction of pay if you are overdue. Played straight with Abandoned Orbital (or Orbital Construction) rumors, as you only have the duration of the rumor to perform a salvaging operation there, which is problematic if you first learn of the rumor and are several jumps away.

Straight for the Commander: Downplayed. Killing an enemy ship's captain causes an immediate end to combat, but they'll generally be the last one to fight your Boarding Party, so you'll need to launch several attacks. However, the Assassin's final unlocked Talent (at Assassin level 15), "Gut the Leadership", enables them to deal damage directly to the enemy Captainnote 30 + Stealth Skill if there aren't any officers to take the blow.

Status Infliction Attack
 Star Traders: Frontiers (Video Game) / int_c1265778
comment
Status Infliction Attack: In ship combat, inflicting a debuff requires that a ship weapon hits during the combat phase - likewise, Craft-based debuffs also require that their weapons hit. In crew combat, most debuffs also require that a weapon hits, though there are some that hit automatically. Buffs are a mixed bag, with some requiring a weapon hit to buff yourself, or some being automatically applied.

Taking You with Me: The Avengent, a Templar battle vessel, was losing to a Jyeeta carrier. So they rammed the carrier, causing both ships to crash into the atmosphere. The captain of the Avengent managed to bring his ship down partly intact. His crew died, but he survived, and the ship's vital cargo remained in Templar hands until he could destroy the Jyeeta Hive Queen.

Escort Mission: Some missions involve escorting a VIP to their destination. Requires a passenger compartment on your ship. Since they're safe onboard your ship, this is perhaps one of the least annoying examples of the trope. In fact, the very first mission you get (even though it's optional) is to escort Arbiter Estelle Brokstrom to Prince Faen's court.

 Star Traders: Frontiers (Video Game) / int_e5411cdf
comment
Cult: Of the Alien-Worshipping variety. Xeno cults exist, though they are almost universally malignednote  Word of God states that Rychart have more cults than the other factions, much to the chagrin of their leadership.. Part of the Jyeeta era involves hunting down such cults that are inhibiting the effort to fight the xeno. The "Buried Demons" lategame era is centered around investigating rumors of Arbiter Brokstrom's involvement with the enigmatic and greatly-feared Gux cult. Crew with the "Other Fascination" trait gain morale when encountering a Xeno ship, instead of everyone else who loses it. You can also encounter contacts with similar tendencies, though Xenologists are the most prone to it, as you might expect.

Geek: Crew and Contacts have the "Device Freak" and "Techno Addict" traits, respectively. Device Freak allows the crewmember to equip a second piece of Specialist Equipment (so long as they're an Officer or the Captain.) Techno Addict means that the Contact will pay 10% more for Intel, as well as offering Salvage Rumors regardless of what Contact Type they are.

comment
Mildly Military: Star Traders can "earn" (read: purchase) ranks in their chosen faction's military, but in practice they answer to no chain of command and are free to accept or decline missions at their leisure. There's nothing stopping you from holding commissions from multiple factions (even if they're fighting one another), or even actively working against your ostensible benefactor's interests (though they can and will eventually start revoking privileges).

Grand Theft Prototype: One of the optional missions with a plot involves stealing the plans for a prototype "Golta Scanner", which allows for greatly enhanced Spying. Amusingly, the mission is still available even after the game reaches a point where the tech is widely distributed.

The Battlestar: Aside from your compartment slots, nothing's stopping you from equipping both fighters and ship-mounted weapons. All default carrier designs come with some weapons, though most aren't particularly well equipped. Jyeeta ships, especially the Jyeeta Juggernaut, count as well.

Infinite Stock For Sale: Zig-Zagged. While Faction holdings are an aversion, having limited stock of any item they produce, Contacts that provide crew equipment (weapons, armor, and Specialist Equipment) will have an unlimited amount.

Organ Drops: The Explorer's "Macabre Harvest" talent allows you to gain Xeno Artifacts after a successful crew combat with xeno. Given OrganicTechnology below, the "Dredge Artifacts" talent that allows harvest in a similar manner from Xeno ships also qualifies.

comment
We Buy Anything: Downplayed. Faction holdings will buy any item from you, though only zones that have a demand for it will give a profitable price. There's also the matter of trade law, where goods with a Legality rating less than the zone's Trade Law rating are unable to be traded. Of course, you can still trade in a Black Market.

No Healthcare in the Apocalypse: Downplayed; during the Crimson Pox Era, worlds which produce medicines may suffer periodic shortages presumably because local demand for their own worlds is outstripping available supplies.

comment
Feudal Future: The title of Prince or Princess is given to a star system's ruler and inherited by their successor. Clans tend to have successors that are biological relations of the Prince, while the Syndicate Princes tend to adopt the best candidates they can find and designate their successors. In addition, the rulers of smaller settlements in the same system are given the titles of Dukes and Barons and expected to provide taxes and troops for the FDF. Even Smugglers have Smuggler Princes/Princesses. One story vignette involves helping a smuggler you're friendly with ascend to that criminal royalty.
