That she waited so long to admit she couldn't do it showed stubbornness, not resilience.

!!This series includes the following tropes:
* BenevolentAI: Coldstar, a prototype bodysuit (mecha) who saves Farsight's life several times and makes it possible for him to sabotage an Imperium battleship. She is so benevolent, in fact, [[DeadpanSnarker that her pilot's habit of charging headlong into danger annoys her.]]
* CaptainObvious: Council etiquette dictates that anyone speaking makes a gesture indicating their caste. Of course anybody in a council that important will already know who their fellows are, but it's tradition.
* SlaveToPR: Shadowsun has won more victories with less loss of life than any of her peers, but Farsight is chosen to lead the Gulf expedition because ''his'' style of combat is flashier, and therefore better for Tau propaganda. Even Farsight himself thinks it's bullshit.
