Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_109b036e	type	Abusive Precursors
Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_109b036e	comment	Abusive Precursors: The ancient Ryuvians were not nice people. Their empire ruled the entire galaxy for tens of thousands of years, their emperors were worshipped as gods because of their nearly-magical technology, and their royal court was a snake pit of intrigues and plots. They also had fleets of dreadnoughts whose main weapons could destroy everything within half a lightyear, and conceivably destroy reality itself if they all fired at once. Fortunately, they've long since forgotten the secrets of their technology and become a Vestigial Empire. Unfortunately, a time-travelling Ryuvian warlord has become trapped in the present day and plans to rebuild the Empire by conquering the galaxy.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_1467a30c	comment	Unexpected Gameplay Change: In Sunrider 4, the mission to the Library of Sharr Helena takes the game's normal combat interface and repurposes it for a puzzle-solving dungeon crawl. Each Ryder plays a specific role in solving the puzzles: Asaga and Sola can open doors by standing in front of them; Lynn can analyze data crystals, sending the party to the next floor; Claude can use her gravity gun to shove dislodged power cores back into their sockets; Kryska can hold doors open and takes no damage from being in irradiated rooms; and Icari is good at scouting ahead because she can traverse rooms much faster than anyone else.

Asaga lampshades the fact that scenes like this often get interrupted, only for Icari and the others to point out that they've taken every possible countermeasure to ensure they aren't interrupted by anything, including the use of communication jammers. Unfortunately, this winds up aiding the Prototypes' plan.

Then it's revealed that Arcadius is just a persona adopted by the Prototypes, a collective of telepathic clones who are pulling PACT's strings and claim to be doing so for the Solar Alliance as well.

Furthermore, while the player's Ace Custom mecha are generally superior to the enemy's mass-produced models, it's still advisable to have juggled your resources well by the mid-game, or being overwhelmed by superior numbers will wreck all of them.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_1eed8e76	type	The Juggernaut
Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_1eed8e76	comment	The Juggernaut: The Legion is a three-kilometre long dreadnought with enough firepower to destroy a planet's entire space fleet in one salvo, without using its Wave-Motion Gun. When fought as a boss it has maxed-out shields, maxed-out flak, extremely thick armor, and almost twice as many hit points as its entire escort fleet combined. Even the Sunrider's Vanguard Cannon will barely scratch it, and it takes Alliance battleships armed with powerful railguns to do any real damage to the Legion. The Nightmare Ascendant is an ancient Ryuvian Ryder with just as much firepower as the Legion and even more health. Its first act is to devastate an Alliance fleet with a swarm of Attack Drones, and it No Sells a direct hit from the Vanguard Cannon. It ultimately takes the combined firepower of several Alliance and PACT fleets, plus another shot from the Vanguard Cannon, to bring the Nightmare Ascendant down. Crow Harbor's dreadnought, the Imperium, has slightly less health than the Legion, but its armor plating is so thick that it's virtually impervious to harm on three sides, and its maxed-out shields—which cannot be shut off, because it is immune to all status effects—let it shrug off all but the most powerful laser and pulse weapons even on its vulnerable side. Its own firepower is nothing to sneeze at: it has pulse and laser weapons that will turn unshielded units into mincemeat, and its main laser is a One-Hit Kill if the Maray doesn't get behind cover before it fires. However, its shields and armor plating don't save it from the massed firepower of ten thousand PACT ships.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: Ongress is an immensely valuable planet due to ongressite, a rare resource found only there that can be refined into high-grade fuel and munitions. Unsurprisingly, the planet has changed hands a LOT throughout history, first by the ancient Ryuvians, then by the New Empire, then by PACT and finally by the Alliance, but regardless of who holds it, the poor schmucks living there have been underpaid and over-exploited at best, and outright enslaved at worst. Thus you have millions of people living in habitats designed for tens of thousands, the air is noxious due to malfunctioning or outright absent air purifiers and most drinkable water is polluted with industrial runoff which causes many to sport deformities, mutations and severe health problems. It comes to no surprise that it's also a breeding ground for pirates, cutthroats, and slavers, including Cossette.

The Huntress, being a Sunrider-class ship, naturally has its own Vanguard Cannon. This gives it a serious edge over the Maray, which has no such weapon and can't hope to survive a hit from it.

Ava has become the acting prime minister of Cera in the six-year Time Skip between Liberation Day and this game. This harkens back to her Academy ending, where she went into politics instead of entering the military and was elected prime minister. During a conversation with Sola, Kayto mentions that she would make a good shrine maiden with her knowledge of ancient Ryuvian religious practices and customs. This is exactly what she was in Sunrider Academy's universe.

While this is downplayed in terms of its capital armamentnote (the Sunrider is only slightly undergunned compared to a PACT battleship, and that's without taking into account the Vanguard Cannon), it's played straight for the ship's ryder wing — the Sunrider has hangar space for only 12 ryders, while dialogue states that the standard PACT carrier can carry over a hundred of them.

Your units are given a predetermined set of upgrades and some money to distribute as you like, but it's likely that some of your ryders will be downgraded. All purchases from the Mining Union are reset, including Chigara's near-essential Repair Booster. Justified in Sunrider 4: The Captain's Return. The Sunrider was destroyed at the end of the last game and has been replaced with an entirely new ship. Most of the crew's Ryders have likewise been replaced, so the upgrades you made to the original machines obviously won't carry over. Kayto himself is also out of practice at commanding his forces due to six years spent in hiding; to relearn the Orders that he used to be able to issue, he must first shake off the cobwebs by fighting Cosette.

When it first appears during the Battle of Cera, the Ceran admiralty knows right away that they're outmatched and urges the civilian government to issue an immediate surrender, not that it does them any good. The Nightmare Ascendant, an ancient Ryuvian Ryder. Sola reacts with fear at its unexpected arrival during the Battle of Cera, and for good reason as it promptly devastates an Alliance fleet and No Sells a direct hit from the Vanguard Cannon. She mentions that in her time it was powerful enough to destroy a thousand strong Ryuvian fleet singlehandedly, and Arcadius/Alice gleefully talks it up as being much more powerful than even the Paradox Core.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_407d3e6d	comment	Morton's Fork: At one point the Sunrider comes out of warp to find itself surrounded by a PACT fleet led by Veniczar Cullen, who demands that Kayto hand over the Crown Jewel of Ryuvia. If Kayto refuses, Cullen's fleet will open fire. If Kayto agrees in order to protect his crew, Cullen still opens fire once he has the jewel. The only reason the Sunrider isn't destroyed then and there is because Asaga admits that she's the Princess of Ryuvia and gives herself up to Cullen. Sunrider 4 has this during the Denari chapters, where you must choose between siding with Marqui Johanna in negotiating with the Hawk Faction or Prea’tor Qisah in destroying them. Either will provide a bonus objective showing the repercussion of your actions. If you negotiate, the Denari will be able to work with the Mining Union in Ongessite fracking at the cost of constant disruptions to the supply lines, haywire machinery, and constant cast of Ongessite poisoning worse than the planet itself. Fighting will free the Denari from external influence, but they will lose their opportunity for economic growth, with many resorting to the criminal underworld in order to make money. To make things worse, the Mining Union resorts to Ongessite fracking in the Neutral Rim, with Fontana rightfully denouncing the unsafe technology, furthering damaging the reputation of the Alliance. Either way, Claude chastise you over which route you choose.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_4d440389	type	Idealist vs. Pragmatist
Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_4d440389	comment	Idealist vs. Pragmatist: The commander Shields can go either route depending on the choices he makes. One example is whether to rescue diplomats from PACT ships or allow them to be killed to further provoke the Solar Alliance. The former becomes more rewarding in this case as the Liberation Day expansion gives a bonus mission to escort hundreds of children who were brought with the diplomats back to their home planet for extra cash. The crew for the Sunrider is also very divided. Asaga, Chigara, and Kryska are on the Idealist side. Asaga favors what is right with her sense of justice. Chigara is reluctant to kill, keeping Asaga's Blood Knight tendencies in check, and prefers using technology to help people. Kryska sees the Solar Alliance as a fair and just nation that wishes to liberate the Neutral Rim of PACT and pirate attacks. She even helps the Sunrider stop the Alliance military from destroying Cera and turns herself in to expose their abuses, believing the Alliance people would see no justification for such acts. Ava, Icari, and Sola are on the Pragmatist side. While Ava can comply with Kayto's Idealist choices, she does everything by the book and doesn't mind sharing how the pragmatic side of things work. Icari is a mercenary who has a complete distrust of authority and doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. Sola is a Shell-Shocked Veteran who shoots first and asks questions later on the battlefield. Claude has no preference for either side. However, she ends up on the Pragmatist side as she's trying to prevent a universe-breaking paradox from occurring. Veniczar A. Fontana of PACT is the Idealist who treats political prisoners with the utmost respect, does not sacrifice lives pointlessly, and is concerned about PACT's state of affairs, let alone wishing to reform it after he overthrows the Prototypes. Admiral Grey is a Pragmatist who is willing to cover up war crimes to uphold the military's reputation and threaten to destroy a planet to stop PACT from winning a battle. It is fitting that his command fleet is titled Machiavelli Actual. On the other hand, a peace conference between the two could place them on either side. Gray wishes for the Solar Alliance to have complete control over the Neutral Rim's reconstruction efforts to prevent a humanitarian disaster. Fontana wants to keep the Alliance out, even if such a disaster occurs, to keep the Neutral Rim completely independent and prevent either nation from gaining too much power.

If you want to shoot someone with the Maray's laser, you'll have to turn the ship to face them.

This is most notable with the Maray, which is less than half the size of her predecessor the Sunrider but can carry just as many Ryders and has a near-identical arsenal: the only thing the Sunrider had which the Maray doesn't is a Vanguard cannon.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_556a4e20	comment	The Empire: Has two historical empires in its backstory. The Holy Ryuvian Empire was a theocratic stated ruled by a succession of God Emperors, and it controlled the entire galaxy for tens of thousands of years before it went into a sharp decline. By the present day it has become a Vestigial Empire consisting of a single backwater planet. The New Empire was founded in the wake of the Ryuvian Empire's collapse, and its rulers saw themselves as successors to the Ryuvian God-Emperors. It was an oppressive place where the elite lived in luxury on the paradise planet of Eden Prime, while the rest of their citizens toiled in poverty. They tried to conquer the entire galaxy and were the dominant superpower for several hundred years, until the fledgling Solar Alliance defeated them in the Alliance-Imperial War and stopped their conquest cold in its tracks. Over the next century a revolution would sweep through its territories, causing the New Empire to collapse. The People's Alliance for Common Treatment, or PACT, which is what the New Empire was reorganized into several years before the start of the game. They are the actual antagonists for the main story, and a commie version of this; several characters even refer to them as an empire.

The Solar Alliance is the United Space of America with a Solar Congress and President. PACT undergoes a shift as a Commie Land nation, starting off like the Stalin regime of the USSR. Once Fontana takes charge, it becomes more like the People’s Republic of China following reformations, drastic modernization, and expansion of economic power. The Denari Expanse is Space Africa, known for its proud warriors and being a territory colonized for resources. To top it off, its people are treated as second-class citizens by developed nations after its valuable resources were exhausted, leaving it infested with crime and poverty, and recovery from its crumbling state is a major issue.

Its own firepower is nothing to sneeze at: it has pulse and laser weapons that will turn unshielded units into mincemeat, and its main laser is a One-Hit Kill if the Maray doesn't get behind cover before it fires. However, its shields and armor plating don't save it from the massed firepower of ten thousand PACT ships.

On the other hand, Kryska starts off as a devoted soldier of the Solar Alliance to the point of My Country, Right or Wrong, believing in its government and military code to the fullest. Icari shifts to a more moral person when her (attempted/indirect) murder of children to get the Solar Alliance to declare war on PACT causes her to reconsider her actions, along her continuous bonding with the crew. Meanwhile, Kryska’s idealism starts cracking with Admiral Gray’s attempt to destroy Cera to finish off PACT, all while being ordered to kill off the Sunrider crew to silence them on the whole ordeal. She is next left disillusioned when she is acquitted of her crimes due to politics rather than revealing the truth. For extra insult, it results in the Alliance completely withdrawing from the Neutral Rim, against her wishes of continuing to fight against PACT. Finally, she gets betrayed by the Rear Admiral who testified on her behalf and used her as a means of sabotaging the Alliance from within. Once she is rescued and the Sunrider team salvages the situation, Kryska reports herself KIA to the Solar Alliance and joins Icari to work as an independent two-woman mercenary team.

Afterwards, he took his anger at Fontana for the mess just because the Veniczar rightfully killed Chigara in retaliation. Then in Sunrider 4, he still refuses to own up to these blunders and constantly puts his crew in danger, such as trying to destroy Crow Harbor and his advanced ancient fleet by himself when he had no chance of succeeding, all to continue to prove that he is still a big shot in the galaxy.

These circumstances include selecting the character's Ryder or ship, ordering them to attack with a given weapon, hitting with anything, missing with anything, being hit, and various types of special abilities. They only have a few for each, however, and given the length of typical battles it's not uncommon for some phrases to be repeated a couple dozen times over the course of a single battle, let alone the entire game. It gets worse for the damage messages, since there appears to only be one per unit for each "tier" of damage. For Ryders, it might not be obvious, but the Sunrider's high hit points means that you might be hearing that sections 32, 16, and 2 have been heavily damaged several times in a row.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_72cdfc33	comment	Big Bad Ensemble: Sunrider 4 has multiple villains competing for the role of main antagonist. In one corner we have Crow Harbor, a temporally displaced Ryuvian warlord who wants to restore his ancient empire to its former glory by reconquering the galaxy. In the other corner we have Veniczar Fontana, the leader of PACT, who wants to defeat Crow Harbor and use the warlord's advanced technology to unite the galaxy under PACT's dominion. Crow is killed by Fontana's forces late in the game, leaving PACT as the main focus of the last act, though the Prototypes—under Omega's new leadership—are set up to be a major antagonistic group going forward.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_735b4101	comment	Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Each of the women aboard the Sunrider have unique hair colours (at least unique from any other girl on board, Sola shares a hair colour with Kayto) even Guest-Star Party Member Cosette, the only blonde. The ryders also all have unique colour schemes (many matching their pilot's hair colour). Most factions also have a colour scheme they stick to; light red and white for Cera, dark red for PACT, green and white for the Alliance, blue for the Mining Union and, oddly enough, even the pirates despite not being a single faction all (except for Cosette's Havoc) show up in dark green. The exceptions are the automated Ryuvian vessels that can be silver, white or red depending on which unit type they are. In Sunrider 4, missiles and torpedoes fired by your side are white, while missiles and torpedoes fired by your enemies are red. Hacked missiles will change color to reflect whichever side is currently controlling them.

These ancient Ryuvian Ryders have more health than the toughest PACT capital ships, maxed-out armour, maxed-out shields, and very high evasion, making them not only tough as nails but hard to hit as well. All of their attacks are highly accurate and highly damaging, and they usually come in groups of at least three, with Ryuvian cruisers to back them up. Fortunately, they can only be encountered in skippable side missions.

Their ships and mechs are painted red, their officers and leaders wear red uniforms, and characters from outside the PACT even refer to them as Reds.

Asaga favors what is right with her sense of justice. Chigara is reluctant to kill, keeping Asaga's Blood Knight tendencies in check, and prefers using technology to help people. Kryska sees the Solar Alliance as a fair and just nation that wishes to liberate the Neutral Rim of PACT and pirate attacks. She even helps the Sunrider stop the Alliance military from destroying Cera and turns herself in to expose their abuses, believing the Alliance people would see no justification for such acts. Ava, Icari, and Sola are on the Pragmatist side. While Ava can comply with Kayto's Idealist choices, she does everything by the book and doesn't mind sharing how the pragmatic side of things work. Icari is a mercenary who has a complete distrust of authority and doesn't mind getting her hands dirty. Sola is a Shell-Shocked Veteran who shoots first and asks questions later on the battlefield. Claude has no preference for either side. However, she ends up on the Pragmatist side as she's trying to prevent a universe-breaking paradox from occurring.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_c2c32a79	type	A Commander Is You
Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_c2c32a79	comment	A Commander Is You: Ryuvian (Elitist): All of their ships have high health and deal massive damage but their number is very limited. Alliance (Turtle): Their main policy is focused on defensive doctrine and all of their units have higher health than PACT's counterpart in Mask of Arcadius. Also, they can win a long term war against PACT due to their attrition advantage. PACT (Ranger): They prefer to use lighter ship and long range engagement but they fall short in term of attrition war. Pirate (Guerilla): Lackluster health and firepower since they need to use old and outdated weapons. Sunrider (Unit Specialist): They are a mixture of many units for many different purposes. It requires you to use combined arm tactics due to their specialised nature. Mining Union (Generalist): Although they only use lighter ships for escort, they are able to befriend multiple sides and own a large private army with different backgrounds. This makes them a Jack of All Trades faction. Cera (Pariah): Although they are a guerrilla army, they don't have a strong center leader like Cosette, and they are forced to either hide themselves or join the Pirate side. Prototype (Gimmick): They don't have any ship but since they are able to send their own spy into all of the factions they are able to access units from different factions.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_c3b51bb3	comment	You Are Better Than You Think You Are: When Asaga pushes herself to the brink of death protecting Kayto from the Prototypes, Kayto, at Claude's suggestion, goes to Asaga to confess his shortcomings. He admits that he's used her and the other girls to validate himself, that he lashed out at Sola during his exile because he'd lost faith in his friends, and that the hunt for Crow Harbor has just been a way to restore his reputation and soothe his bruised ego. He claims that he isn't a hero, just a coward and a failure. Then Asaga wakes up and assures him that he's wrong about himself: the only reason everyone is still alive, and that they've come as far as they have, is because of him. He has survived battles and achieved heroic feats that nobody else could possibly pull off. He may not have the Sunrider anymore, and he may have had more losses than victories lately, but that doesn't matter. So long as he believes in himself and keeps moving forward, he is the hero he made himself out to be. This pep talk convinces Kayto that there's still a chance to set things right, and he goes into the final battle with his confidence restored.

Incensed, Kayto goes to confront Claude, who tries to spin a yarn about keeping Chigara's true nature a secret so as not to hurt his feelings.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: These lines of dialogue. Icari's a cold-blooded, katana-wielding killer in a yellow and black suit... Asaga's not allowed to play Duel Creatures, A card game. A subtle one, but the name of the Ongessian settlement visited early in Mask of Arcadius is identified with a code format identical to those used by Stargate Command to identify planets without proper names. One optional mission in Sunrider 4 has Kayto and Cosette paraphrase the memetic "Hello, there!" exchange from Revenge of the Sith, with Kayto saying Obi-Wan's lines and Cosette standing in for General Grievous. The Astrium has billboards advertising Rick and Morty, amongst various fictional products. The Maray's cafeteria has footage of Kiryu Coco on one of its holoscreens. The scene where the Maray's Ryders work together with the people they were just fighting to stop the Solar Congress from crashing into Solaris is a clear homage to the climax of Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack. Let’s see. The moment the Maray enters the World Fountain alone, it charges towards the vastly superior PACT fleet with the commanders baffled over its suicidal run without even changing course. Then cue Shields have if deliberately summoned the Prototypes flagship, leaving the commanding officer wetting his pants. And while getting shot at by both sides and several obstructions along the way, the Maray completes its mission with almost no casualties. Perhaps they watched Serenity before going on the mission?

While fleets have traditionally fought by squaring off and blasting away at each other with lasers, shielding technology has progressed to the point where it's fairly easy for a fleet to achieve overlapping coverage that completely negates incoming energy fire. More forward-looking admirals have taken note of this, and are designing new ships (like the Sunrider itself) designed to close in and engage with kinetics. Ingame, kinetics also have the advantage of being much more powerful, although beams have greater accuracy and range.

Academy, meanwhile, is a Highschool AU Dating Sim where Kayto's two biggest concerns are keeping three of the school's clubs from being disbanded, and getting himself a girlfriend before the end of the year. Until Cerebus Syndrome kicks in each girl's route, especially Sola's. The trope certainly holds true for the setting at large though, since with various factors being different in that universe the devastating conflict that the main series centres around simply doesn't happen.

Apart from intimidation, the mask's purpose is threefold: to hide the fact that he is not the original Arcadius but a successor; to hide the fact "he" is really a woman; and to hide the fact that the current Arcadius is not an individual but rather a collective of genetically-enhanced clones with a Hive Mind… all of whom just so happen to look like your ship's Chief Engineer, to her shock and horror.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_f52ae5d8	comment	Enemy Civil War: PACT splits into two factions after Fontana exposes Arcadius' true nature and shoots her in the face at the end of Mask of Arcadius. One stays loyal to Arcadius, the other sides with Fontana.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_f6f6adeb	type	Railroading
Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_f6f6adeb	comment	Railroading: A common criticism of Liberation Day is that the story quickly went this way, stripping out player choices in favor of predetermined events. Somewhat infamously, this took the form of forcing a romantic relationship with Chigara and Asaga's resulting violent jealous breakdown, regardless of decisions made in previous games. A later patch extended the ending slightly to mitigate some of these criticisms, though without fully altering any existing content. Hilariously lampshaded by Kayto in [RE]turn while trying to distract Claude's past self:

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_f88f2449	comment	Downer Beginning: Sunrider 4: The Captain's Return opens with the Final Speech that Kayto gave at the end of the previous game as he prepared to sacrifice himself to save his home planet from annihilation. Six years later, he's now a nobody living on a backwater PACT-controlled mining colony. The monotony of his depressing new life is broken up by the sudden announcement that PACT has kicked the Solar Alliance out of the Neutral Rim. The war is over, and he lost.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_f91d1d4f	comment	Darkest Hour: By the end of Liberation Day, Admiral Grey is dead, Chigara is (physically) dead, the Sunrider has been destroyed, any hope of peace between the Alliance and PACT has been torn to shreds, the party is scattered across the galaxy and forced to go to ground, Chigara's spirit may or may not be going insane as she battles Alice for control of the Prototypes' mind stream, and to top it all off a time-displaced Ryuvian fleet has suddenly appeared in the Mnemosyne Abyss, ready to take over the galaxy and rebuild the Holy Ryuvian Empire. The whole goal of [RE]turn is averting this via Time Travel.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_f98356f	comment	Right-Wing Militia Fanatic: The Hawk Faction is a militant, ultranationalist faction of the Solar Alliance which isn't happy about the armistice between the Alliance and PACT. Its members blame political mismanagement for how the war ground to a halt, and they seek both to reignite the war and to overthrow the Alliance government in a coup d'état. Ironically, they're pawns in a PACT plot to make the Solar Alliance destroy itself from within.

Sunrider (Visual Novel) / int_f9c17447	comment	The Remnant: The Sunrider is a heroic example. After Cera's conquest by PACT, the Sunrider and other surviving ships were left without central command but with a grudge against PACT. Whether Kayto identifies the Sunrider primarily as this, or as a ship of Space Pirates and mercenaries, is up to him.

The only way to stop them is to shoot them down, or to hack them so they switch targets to their own launchers.

He even prefaces them with the words "Captain's log", in a Shout-Out to Star Trek.
