History Webcomic / QuentynQuinnSpaceRanger

*** May be nothing more than if all the other characters are cranked up to eleven to show their silliness, one gets cranked down from eleven to act as a {{Foil}}

** The Confidantines enact very severe penalties for anyone who abducts and/or interrogates one of their own. The reason for these penalties is rather simple: The Confidantines were the first species to perfect FTL communication, and share a collective memory that allows them access to a huge amount of information, a great deal of it classified or personal. They also hold a great deal of control over all hypernet access in the universe. To prevent that information from being used by unscrupulous sources, if one of their own is captured or interrogated, then either they are forcibly disconnected from the collective, or disconnect themselves. They consider this a fate worse than death (since their mind exists outside of their own head, this basically reduces the person in question to a drooling infant, and while it may be possible to partially restore their faculties, they are never the same afterwards). For this reason, in order to ensure that no one tries, they will penalize not just the individuals responsible, but also their homeworld, any organization they work for, and potentially their entire species by cutting off their hypernet access for a century, if not longer.

* [[DigitalPiracyIsEvil Digital ''Regulation'' Is Evil]]: [[http://www.rhjunior.com/QQSR/00054.html The RIAA Wars]]. [=RH=] throws an [[{{Anvilicious}} anvil]] here - his opinion is that we either chill out about it or let the regulators eat our brains - ''literally''.

* GoodRepublicEvilEmpire: Seemingly subverted, the hero works for the "Empire of the Seven Systems" while the Franchise/StarTrek Parody Federation is highly incompetent (and [[StrawmanPolitical socialist]]). But according to WordOfGod the Empire is a parliamentary republic and the emperor is mostly there to look good on TV.

* TakeThat: A ''big'' one directed at ''Franchise/StarTrek'' runs from [[http://www.rhjunior.com/QQSR/00014.html Page 14]] to Page 44. The author's politics are on full display.

** A rather gratuitous one at that, given that most of the subjects he brings up were addressed by either ''Deep Space Nine'' or the TNG movies.
*** Also seems to have elements of AffectionateParody, considering the ''obscurity'' of some of the Trek references (e.g.: rice-harvester accident, "make things go", etc.).
**** Only demonstrates that the author has done his research and [[ShownTheirWork shown his work]]; the tone is anything but affectionate.

* TooDumbToLive: Somehow a large portion of the universe's population seems to fit into this category.
** Thankfully, [[spoiler: there appears to be a large number of unimaginably powerful beings that roam the stars, taking care of species like this.]]

** Not to mention religious and political figures, like the Patoodines Pilgrim King.

*** This penalty can easily cause the bankruptcy of the company in question, cause the homeworld in question to fall into economic ruin, and change a species from a major intergalactic superpower to a third world country. This would be the modern day equivalent of the USA suddenly being banned from all internet, telegraph, telephone, and radio access, and having to rely on postal communication for a century.

[[http://www.rhjunior.com/QQSR/ Quentyn Quinn Space Ranger]], a webcomic by RalphHayesJr and a SpinOff of TalesOfTheQuestor, deals with one of Quentyn's descendants centuries down the track, InSpace! Unfortunately updates can be thin on the ground, since Hayes only updates once the donation meter reaches a certain amount - and the meter ''resets every month''.

* CoolStarship: Both Quentyn's own ship, the Thunderbird, and the Sapphire Star -- a luxury cruise ship with a diameter measured in kilometers.

* HaveIMentionedIAmADwarfToday: In the "Federation" arc, Groonch the G'norch makes a point of emphasizing his warrior-race pride (his hat, given by Captain Pidorq, is "token noble savage")—- only to have it brutally subverted when it's pointed out that his "race" has dozens of languages and hundreds of cultures, and "noble warrior" isn't even in the top ten....

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Rasheed, the taxi driver, of course. This is incidental to the fact that he's almost blind, considering his [[BizarreAlienSenses electromagnetic proprioception.]]
