Line 29:

* [[Opposites Attract]]: In-universe. Several people refuse to believe that there could really be a relationship between the [[It Makes Sense in Context|gray military captain Laurent Zai and the pink opposition Senator Nara Oxham]].

* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Played with. {{spoiler|It appears that [[The Captain|Laurent Zai's]] [[Number Two|XO]] is so piqued at learning the person he loves and refused suicide for isn't her (having briefly thought it was) that she plans to join the mutiny against him. However, she just does this in order to ''stop'' the mutiny attempt.}}

* [[Sci Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]: Averted for the most part. Westerfeld takes time needed to travel and space distances into consideration, with travel between the distant Legis system and the Empire's central planet, Home, taking ten years in absolute time. The series also has two different scales, one the vast reaches of space and the other on the level of nanotechnology.
