* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: By the late campaign of ''Vengeance'', [[spoiler:Kron's heavy-handed methods and increasingly brutal acts, in addition to paranoia over traitors sowing mistrust among the Navy's ranks, causes most of his fleet to begin to wonder if following him is the right decision. When the aliens threaten both the League and Navy, [[EnemyMine both enemy factions agree to a truce to contend with the mutual threat]], with Kron's insistence on defeating the League above all else seeing the Navy's other leaders to cut him out of all important decision-making, leaving him with only his most fanatical followers. It turns out this is true of his time in the League as well: he was so violent and brutal that League leadership sent him on what was supposed to be a SuicideMission to be rid of him in the closing moments of the First Colony War, and his bitterness and resentment over this is all that drives him from that point forward.]]

* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:Kron is so consumed by his desire for revenge against the League that, when an alien army targets both the Navy and the League, most within the Navy abandon him to sign a truce with the League against a common enemy. Kron is ultimately set up as the BigBad of ''Vengeance'' when his pursuit of revenge actively threatens the Empire.]]

A trilogy of space combat games by Creator/{{Psygnosis}} for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation; the original ''Colony Wars'' told of an epic civil war between two factions of humanity, the Earth Empire and their Colonial Navy against the secessionist League of Free Worlds. The player steps into the role of an anonymous League pilot during what will turn out to be the final phase of the war one way or another, as the technologically inferior League fights to throw off the oppressive Empire. Unusually for a game with MultipleEndings, the canon ending isn't the best one; the League is able to push the Empire all the way back to Sol, but is unable to take the home-system and instead seals it off, condemning what remains of the Empire to civil war over the tiny scraps of resources left.
