Behind the Scene
Background
Away Team are crewmembers assembled to perform missions on planet surfaces, to Star Democratic called, it was infamous because Star Trek never feature with ground army or land vehicle such as Assault Tank or Artillery as it was era of explorer when explorer against soldier, it will create a false data or Star Democratic never add Starfleet vehicle for HDN series before Season 4 because lack of source, if counterpart Federation Defense Force, Away Team were no match against FDF such as invasion, defense and assault the planet, were Away Team are small crew to defense almost entire base or attack against Federation Defense Force, most of crew can't take Blanc down when she transform as White Heart.

Some theory, Away Team still beat against Federation Defense Force by how their base is strong against entire Federation Defense Force or sneak attack and avoid almost Federation Artillery and Federation Gunship encounter and take down by stealth, were most of Fed Gunship were firing missile before machine gun with it.

The Starfleet ground vehicle was introduced in Lady White Heart and redesign toward in SD: HDN Season 4: The Revenge from Apophis (which no the vehicle in HDN season 1 to 3) or 5 year later after Hyperdimension Wars with Victory of Star Democratic, which disappointment from many Trekkies fan to bring new ground vehicle for Starfleet in that year for known the crew were never win against entire Federation army, the vehicle are also do damage to federation armor, Kasami said, because Star Trek no feature with war as planet attack, spaceship is not option for invasion planet, but they need the army of land force, Kasami has added as in Season after their universe has been dominated by Lady White Heart's Galactic Empire as teach to do in threat that possible to invasion or defense.

In-Joke
- In the Lady White Heart has first time in Star Trek has see Starfleet Trooper wear armor, but entire armor is red, which the name was trooper.
- Most of Away Team crew were wear with Redshirt (such as pistol rank) were killed by Federation Armed Force, especially confront against Kagami Hiiragi Jr. or Blanc. (SD: HDN)

Trivia
- According in Deveploment film in Lady White Heart, Most of Starfleet Land Vehicle design similar to Class 2 Shuttle and Type-11 Shuttle.
