| [[Star Control II]] is referenced on multiple occasions in later works:
| |
| | |
| *There exists a weapon named [[Wimbli's Trident]] in [[Toys for Bob]]'s game [[wikipedia:The Horde|The Horde]].
| |
| *In the [[wikipedia:Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar|Dark Avatar]] expansion to [[wikipedia:Galactic Civilizations II|Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords]], the Drengin race has split into two factions/subraces: the genocidal Korath (a clear reference to the name [[Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah|Kohr-Ah]]), which desire the annihilation of all non-Drengin sentience, and the Krynn, which plead for the use of other races as slaves. This situation is extremely reminiscent of the one existing between the two [[Ur-Quan]] subraces.
| |
| *The developers of Galactic Civilizations II have also confessed to have drawn their inspiration for the Dread Lords and Arnor races from the [[Precursor]]s of Star Control II. [http://www.galciv2.com/journals.aspx?aid=100331&c=1]
| |
| *Terran Battlecruisers in the game [[wikipedia:StarCraft|StarCraft]] look very similar to an Ur-Quan [[Dreadnought]], possessing the "Yamato Gun" ability which closely resembles the Dreadnought's Fusion Blaster. [http://uqm.stack.nl/forum/index.php?topic=3732.msg48232#msg48232]
| |
| *It is believed by some (including [[Fred Ford]] and [[Paul Reiche III]]) that Babylon 5 borrowed some elements from the Star Control Universe.{{ref|1}}
| |
| *The creators of Strange Adventures in Infinite Space and its sequel, Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space, have confided that they drew their inspiration for the game from Star Control II.
| |
| *An anti-American/anti-Israeli propaganda mural in the former US embassy in Tehran seems inspired by the cover art for [[Star Control]].[http://gridskipper.com/355855/iranian-propaganda-mural-inspired-by-video-game]
