* Nuclear Weapons Taboo: Played straight and averted in the orbital engagement around Sian. For the first time in the fic, Nukes are pulled out as the capital of a Successor State is invaded. But even then, they are brought out in a very narrow window over 75,000 kilometres from the planet in line with the defunct but still generally respected Ares Conventions which thus avoids any kind of retaliation strikes.

** From the SLDF Nighthawks (which remain limited issue to the bodyguard units of the Archon, First Prince and Rhiannon), the Lyran Commonwealth develops and puts into production two heavy-combat suits that are essentially full-blown (if light) Battle Armor as seen in canon in the 3050s. The 'Mud Leg' (an up-armored suit that can take direct hits from Mech scale weapons) and the 'Steiner Hawk' which has lighter armor, but retains jump jets. The NAIS is said to also be working on full-scale Nighthawk clones for special operations, bodyguard and intelligence work, having reverse-engineered their stealth technology and trying to get mass production viable.
** The 'Pilot-Hawk', a flight capable power armor unit designed for pilots, makes its debut in the 4th Succession War. Designed by Iona to try and keep her sister safe, Rhiannon ejects over Sian when her Stuka is blown out of the sky. It proves proves its utility in spectacular fashion by letting Rhiannon evade further AAA fire directed at her as she flew out of range before hitching a lift on a friendly aerospace fighter that passed through, which dropped her back at base.

** The SteelLeg is the next generation Battle Armor under development at the NAIS. Using Triple Strength Myomer to give it both huge increases in strength and the ability to carry more and better armour, it's also three times as expensive as a MudLeg.

** Melissa (while pregnant) sneaks into her assault tank during the assault on New Avalon to participate, strongly feeling as a serving officer in the 4th Royal Guards it is her duty to do so. Hanse (who is also fully on the front lines) is ''not happy'' about this when he finds out.

Hanse (who is also fully on the front lines) is ''not happy'' about this when he finds out. It also turns out her tank crew had direct orders from the Archon to pull her out of the line and withdraw to a secure bunker the second her tank comes under fire - and Melissa is NOT happy when she finds this out as they withdraw her from the battle after a single long range glancing hit.

And while she COULD go home again, it's also clear she doesn't value said home and is vastly happier with her new job in the Federated Commonwealth as Melissa's secretary.
