* AnythingThatMoves / TheCasanova
** Consul Enshu Atsukau uses his superlative, unblockable telepathy for two things: the most delicate (and therefore lucrative) of diplomatic missions... and getting himself a huge harem of women from virtually every sentient, somewhat humanoid species part of Sillage. This changes after meeting Nävis (even he can't reach her telepathically), and he becomes a creepy(er) StalkerWithACrush for her.
** We later learn that his whole species used to be like that. Unfortunately, their psychic powers were much sought for by schemers within the fleet. When they failed to recruit them for their cause, some of them decided the species too dangerous to leave out of their control and had it purged by a bunch of OneManArmy assassins.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: From his first appearance Yiarhu-kah is an alien horror, cutting a bloody swathe through secondary cast and coming within inches of taking Nävis' brain. What cements his reputation is when we see him pop into Atsukau's office, NoSell his PsychicAssistedSuicide and then lecture him about how he and his 9 clan kinsmen were the ones who wiped out Atsukau's entire species.

* OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo: Volume 5's title looks like [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Sillage_Wake_nr_5_Alien_language.svg this]]. It is someties transcripted as "'J.VJ,..'\", and an [[AllThereInTheManual outside source]] stated that it means "My life for my kin".
