Rulings
Easter egg
Hidden on the uniform shoulders are the letters "WYOU" and "XERB". WYOU was Wolfman Jack's first radio station (circa 1960) in Virginia; Decipher is in that broadcast area. XERB is the station he was on later in California, where George Lucas heard him and put him in American Graffiti.[2]

Sunsdown supplies nighttime conditions; both Defel and Chief Retwin can hide from battle.
