Line 16:
* [[The Captain]]: Captain Pausert, owner of the requisite
** [[Cool Starship]]: The ''Venture'', an elderly but very fast and well-armed starship.
* [[CaptainsCaptain's Log]]: Parodied. Pausert makes a laconic entry about battling space pirates to explain a bit of unauthorized target practice on an asteroid.
* [[Child Mage]]
* [[Competence Zone]]: Averted. Goth is incredibly competent, and Karres children are apparently expected to take care of themselves, but the captain very quickly pulls ahead as he develops his powers.
* [[The Empire]]
* [[Enfante Terrible]]: The Leewit again.
* [[Free -Range Children]]: The titular witches can and do travel between planets on their own. At the ages of five, eight, and twelve.
* [[Functional Magic]]: The "Klatha".
* [[Great Gazoo]]: "Big Windy" the [[Energy Beings|vatch]].
Line 28:
* [[In the Blood]]: Pausert had to listen to Councilor Onswud saying he'd known Pausert would go bad (as Onswud saw it), "Just like his great-uncle Threbus! It's in the blood, I always say!" And then Threbus' daughter told Pausert her father had predicted Pausert would break with his home planet -- and ''he'' said it was in the blood.
* [[Lady of War]]: Hulik do Eldel
* [[Like Parent, Like Spouse]]: Goth (aged nine or ten) announces that she is going to marry Pausert (twenty-eight) when she grows up. It is noted by several characters that he very much resembles her father. ( {{spoiler|They're distant cousins.}})
* [[Little Miss Badass]]
* [[Little Miss Con Artist]]
Line 35:
* [[Make Me Wanna Shout]]: The Leewit's whistles.
* [[Mama Bear]]: Toll. Even Big Windy (see above) is afraid of her.
* [[May -December Romance]]: Goth (nine or ten) informs Captain Pausert (twenty-eight) she's going to marry him when she grows up. The Captain later explains to Goth's father that while he's fond of her, he has no intention of taking her seriously. Goth's father indulgently replies that he didn't take ''his'' wife's declaration of intent to marry ''him'' seriously, either.
* [[Negative Space Wedgie]]: the Chaladoor.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: Pausert to the three sisters, to some extent. (Note that they haven't suffered [[Parental Abandonment]]; they have both a mother and father at home, it's just that they're currently a long way from home.)
Line 45:
* [[Space Pirates]]: Who prey on...
* [[Space Trucker]]: Captain Pausert
* [[Spell My Name With a "The"]]: The Leewit.
* [[Swirly Energy Thingy]]: Can be found in the Chaladoor.
* [[Take a Level In Badass]]: When the captain learns to control his powers.
