Line 42:
* [[Achievements in Ignorance]]: The Graysons make some revolutionary discoveries due to having to rebuild their tech base from scratch—most notably, acceleration compensators that are more efficient than Manticore's version, and fission reactors that are smaller and more efficient and powerful than the rest of the galaxy thought feasible. At the time Manticore comes along they are very thankful they have some modern tech examples to work with to help relieve the backwards nature of their industry, but Manticore is also happy to have new ideas to try for themselves.
* [[Action Girl]]: ''Tons'' of.
** It would be easier to list the prominent female cast members who are ''not'' Action Girls. One of them is a head of state that her bodyguards never allow near physical confrontations (Queen Elizabeth), the second is a medical doctor who is under five feet and weighs less than 100 lbs. soaking wet (Alison Harrington), and the third is a wheelchair-bound paraplegic (Emily White Haven).
* [[Action Girlfriend]]: Honor to {{spoiler|Hamish Alexander.}} He declines her offer to teach him martial arts, saying that in the (highly unlikely) event that some poor mugger makes it through her bodyguards, he will be content to hold her coat while she beats the hell out of him.
* [[Action Mom]]: Take a wild guess. Hint: She's the main character.
