* AnimalMotifs: The Princepses of the Titans accompanying the ''Speranza'' appear to have all come from a hostile frozen environment similar to Fenris, and they associate with each other as if they were wolves or feral dogs, considering their group to be a "pack", battling for leadership of the group or "alpha", and giving their Titans animal-like features.

* HotScientist: Linya Tychon is a brilliant Magos who looks like a normal, flesh-and-blood woman due to her preference for subtle augmentations. Roboute finds her quite attractive and tries to flirt with her, though she turns him down.

* WeAreStrugglingTogether: On paper the Imperial forces should be almost invincible, problem a number of the factions prioritize their own interests or have issues that affect the team effort. The Black Templars are too dismissive of "mortals" and overly zealous with their crusade that they end up endangering everyone at Katen Venia by racing ahead recklessly. The Cadians grow increasingly weary of being the OnlySaneMan. The bondsmen are treated so poorly that they're at the brink of uprising and the Titans almost crippled the Speranza when their packleader had a PTSD nightmare. Even Kotov has to deal with Blaylock's ambition on his assets while the Wintersun has [[TheFriendNoOneLikes the unpopular but stable Moonshadow]] clamoring to be the next Alpha for that Titan company.

* CameBackStrong: Played straight with Dahan. After most of Dahan's physical body was destroyed trying to stop the rampaging Warlord titan Lupa Catalina, he survived and his remaining bits were installed in a new heavily-armed body - one that incorporated improvements as suggested by the Cadians and his own recent experience with the Black Templars. Averted in the case of Issur, Issur was one of the best swordsmen in the entire Black Templars chapter. After almost dying from getting zapped by an Ork's electromagnetic weapon, Issur found that his nervous system is a bit off and he's no longer than the master swordsman he used to be.

* SubmissiveBadass: Hawke had the services of Crusha - a bionic Ogryn who also a variation of the B.O.N.E.H.E.A.D intellect improvement surgery, until Crusha perished fighting a group of Striking Scorpions. Meanwhile Abrehem Locke managed to get control of the powerful Rasselas X-42, an arco-flagellant capable of taking down whole Eldar squads by itself.
