* GroinAttack: Harry tries to subdue Torres when she starts fighting with a Cardassian while staying with the Ocammpa. Turns out that when dealing with an enraged, half-klingon terrorist who doesn't really have a concept of playing fair, and you yourself don't have hand-to-hand combat skills, things tend to not go well for you, and Harry is soon curled into a fetal position on the ground, whimpering.

Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Adding the ''Vetar'' to the mix doubles the size of the main cast, and when you add in recurring characters like Petty Officer Ivrahanla sh'Phohlhi? One of the reviews actually thanked the authors for providing a DramatisPersonae at the start of each chapter.

** In contrast to Trek, where people of only one race would man alien ships (Klingons only on Klingon ships, Cardassians would be the only ones on Cardassian ships, Romulans the only ones on Romulan ships, etc.), Gul Evek has a Trill as part of his bridge crew and a Lethean working for him, and as such both are dragged with him into the Delta Quadrant. Later a member of the [=Tal'Shiar=] joins, having been pulled into the Delta Quadrant before they were.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To [[WebVideo/SFDebris SF Debris' Voyager Reviews.]] After watching reviews of the episodes that this fic decided to cover, it's not hard to see how the fic was influenced by the reviews. Special mention goes to "Jetrel," where Chuck's idea- that of Jetrel being genuinely remorseful for the horrors he had unleashed in a genocidal war between his people and the Talaxians- is taken and ''ran with.'' And then there's chapter nine, which is written as if the real show had used Chuck's Alternate Character Interpretations of the cast of Voyager...

* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: Played With, surprisingly. Worf, who was known for complaining on The Next Generation, specifically saying that they should prepare military responses or show suspicion for things that were suspicious, was frequently shut down by Picard on that show because he was more of a diplomat. When Worf questions the validity of the Starfleet Data taken from the crew of ''Voyager'' and ''Vetar'' from twenty years ago thanks to a wormhole, Picard again prepares to tell him not to be so paranoid... only for the admiral to tell Picard that Worf actually has a very good point- Romulan MO tends to be "Lie, lie, lie, and lie some more." This is the race that invented cloaking devices, after all. Ultimately played straight, as Picard was right and the data ''hadn't'' been tampered with, but Worf was right in that such a thing is something that Romulans had previously done (even to the crew of the ''Enterprise''), so his suspicion was justifiable precaution.
* ContinuityNod: to Star Trek III: The Voyage Home. The Klingons are obsessed with getting their hands on the Genesis Device because they can turn this terraforming device into a weapon. [[spoiler: This story's version of "Jetrel" had the Haakonians use a terraforming device of their own (not Genesis based) on the inhabited moon of Rinax as a weapon, similar to how the Klingons planned to use Genesis (but never got the chance).]]

** Chapter Nine, while non-canon, has Tom implying that Nicholas Locarno (from the [=TNG=] episode "The First Duty") is his uncle. More humorous is that Nick was not only played by the same actor, but the character of Tom Paris was initially created as "Nick Locarno with the serial numbers filed off" as a way to use the character without paying the royalties to the creators of Nick.

* StupidEvil: The Kazon. They don't know when to shut up, they are mysoginistic, murdering, rapists, and if there is a fight where the combined crews can't take them on in odds of less than ten-to-one then it's a sign that something's up. Even in canon, the Kazon were ''so'' subpar that the Borg outright refused to assimilate them. Fortunately, they're just DumbMuscle for the Trabe.

Added DiffLines:

* WarIsHell: The story adds some shades of grey to the war between the Haakonians and the Talaxians by showing that it wasn't what the perceptions said it was, that the Talaxians were trying to fight off the monstrous Haakonians, or that the Talaxians were innocent. Both sides committed war crimes and did horrible things to one another, and the perception of Jetrel as a war hero is only because the Haakonians were ultimately the victors in the war. In reality, no one who actually fought in the war (that we see onscreen) was in favor of it, and no one knows how it began. Jetrel feels like a monster because of his actions, and hates himself deeply.
