==Unknown handgun==
General Maddoxton (Steve Tom) uses an unknown handgun in "The Rise of the Empire" (E4). It's impossible to make an identification, or even be sure he has a gun in his hand, as only a gunshot is heard.
[[Image:TSob_0104_unknown_01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This is also one of the only, if not THE only scene where characters drive a real car in the entire miniseries.]]

==Trivia==
A running joke throughout the miniseries involves the incredibly cheap special effects used. Model houses are used often, and model cars and airplanes are used almost exclusively, with visible guide rods and fishing wire. To illustrate a bullet in flight, similar effects are used.
