Line 36:
*[[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|Ilaloa}} is really an Alori spy.
*[[Mighty Whitey]]: Trevelan is a subversion. He is competent and helpful, and has useful perspectives but he is not obviously superior to the Nomads and Joachim is equally competent.
*[[Noble Savage]]: Both the Nomads and the Alori are subversions of this being neither savage nor completely noble despite first glance. The Alori are closer to earth and [[Holier Than Thou|never tire of reminding humans of it.]] They can also be treacherous and brutal. They are charming but not exactly noble. And they are not exactly savages in the sense of being primitive; rather they emphasized a different path to development. The Nomads have a romantic footloose existence but they are masters of technology and each ship has enough perks for a small town including books, music, and artwork. They are not always noble either; we find later that a pair of Nomad ships had tired of nomadism and used their possession of technology
*[[Order Versus Chaos]]: The Cordies who [[Space Police|enforce order]] find Nomads rather irritating. But they can get along and cooperate.
*[[Romanticism Versus Enlightenment]]: Trevelan represents extreme enlightenment. The Alori represent extreme romanticism. The Nomads are romantic in a different way but they also have enlightend characteristics.
