Line 12:
Oh, and there are more than a fair amount of gay and bisexual characters, mostly men. Very good-looking, angsty men. But [[Yaoi Fangirl|no one]] would read a series just for that, right?
{{tropelist}}
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Captain Azarcon
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
* [[Character Development]]: Think of the book as a [[Coming of Age Story]] during war time. [[Recycled in Space|In space!]]
* [[Child Soldiers]]: Jos, Evan, Yuri, and most of the jets on Macedon as well as the pirates started as this. Because of the [[Darker and Edgier|tone]] of the series, expect this to be played for tragedy
* [[Cold
* [[Cool Starship]]: Macedon
* [[Culture Clash]]: between EarthHub and the strivs. Interestingly, the aliens didn't have FTL space travel until we showed up on their moon (turning humans into the alien invaders). They had just managed to build a rocket from their planet to a nearby moon. Human symps gave the aliens designs for starships when it became clear the other humans were planning on wiping the aliens out to use their resources.
Line 39 ⟶ 38:
* [[Defusing the Tykebomb]]: Admiral Ashrafi manages to straighten Cairo Azarcon out...mostly.
* [[Double Entendre]]: The jets' speech is full of this. Dorr seems to do it the most; in fact, he's almost a [[Handsome Lech]], though he [[Ho Yay|mostly flirts with guys.]]
* [[Dysfunctional Family]]: the Azarcon family, crossing into [[Big Screwed
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]
* [[Enemy Mine]]: {{spoiler|Azarcon and Niko team up to rescue hostages}}
Line 80 ⟶ 79:
* [[Not So Different]]: Captain Azarcon and the pirates. {{spoiler|He was trained by Falcone, after all.}}
* [[Orphans Ordeal]]
* [[Physical Scars, Psychological Scars]]: Yuri's cutting scars serve to illustrate just how broken he is by everything that's happened to him.
* [[Prison Rape]]: Poor Finch.
* [[Protagonist
* [[The Quiet One]]: Jos doesn't say much.
* [[Rape As Drama]]: And quite frequently so.
Line 88 ⟶ 87:
* [[Revenge]]: the ultimate motive behind {{spoiler|Jos killing Falcone}}
* [[Sarcastic Devotee]]: Dorr.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections]]: Falcone was arrested once, but his friends in power got him out.
* [[Shotacon]]: Really uncomfortable, squicky examples. Only Estienne/Yuri doesn't manage to be damn frightening, but it's creepy nonetheless.
* [[Sex Equals Love]]: Subverted oh so much.
Line 109 ⟶ 108:
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: Evan/Jos. It's canon one-sided on Evan's part, but Jos is too damaged to try anything, though several scenes make it clear he's considering it.
* [[Welcome Back Traitor]]: Averted. Jos is seen with suspicion through the entire series.
* [[Well
* [[Yaoi Guys]]: Yuri/Estienne
** Also, Dorr/O'Neil, according to the [[Word of God]]
