A [[Military Science Fiction]] series by David Gunn.
 
"Aux" is short for "Auxiliaries". Namely, Sven Tveskoeg's auxiliaries, an elite squad in an elite regiment of Emperor Octo V's army. Sven himself is a [[Badass Abnormal]] [[Anti -Hero]] / [[Punch Clock Hero]] with a bad temper.
 
Octo's glorious empire battles the Enlightened, watched by the United Free who drastically enforce [[The Laws and Customs of War]] when they feel like it.
 
== Three books have been published so far: ==

=== This series provides examples of: ===
* [[The Ageless]]: Octo V has been thirteen years old for centuries.
* [[All Crimes Are Equal]]: Well, maybe not ''all'', but there are quite a lot of capital offenses in the Empire and the Enlightened.
Line 26:
* [[Penal Colony]]: In the first book.
* [[Psychic Powers]] / [[Technopath]]: The Enlightened's biotechnology is centered about this. A few select citizens in the Empire have access to it, usually top servants of the Emperor, but it's a capital crime.
* [[Taking You Withwith Me]]: Sven convinces {{spoiler|A whole artificial world}} to do that to an Enlightened ship in the second book.
* [[Token Enemy Minority]]: Haze.
* [[You Said You Would Let Them Go]]: A deep part of book 3's plot in a nutshell. {{spoiler|The United Free}} pressured {{spoiler|Emperor Octo V}} into betraying {{spoiler|General Jaxx}}, with the promise that violence would be limited to a few targeted assassinations. What happened instead was a reenactment of Saint Barthélémy.
