* HiveMind - [[spoiler: the [[BigBad Warlord]] is comprised of 24 mindlinked humans connected to a supercomputer]]

'''''Day Of The Starwind''''' has Randor investigate reports of mercenaries whose skills seem equal to the Legion's, taking him to the desolate world of Rilyn; where a rogue planetoid regularly brings massive storms known as the Starwind to its surface. There he finds the Deathwing at work once again; working to try and produce their own Legion; with clones of some of Moros' greatest warriors.

'''''Planet Of The Warlord''''' was the final book in the quartet, and finally revealed the nature and homeworld of the sinister Warlord. Keill competes in the Battle Rites of Banthei in order to draw attention to himself and his enemies out of the shadows. It works all too well and Keill is captured. Can Glr rescue him from the clutches of the Deathwing before he reveals the location of the hidden Overseer base?

** BadassAbnormal: Keill was already a {{Badass}} before he got his metal bones implanted.

-->"The awesome, irresistible battle fury of a legionary. It was never the blind, foaming fury of a berserker. It was cold, defined, controlled....It was as if Keill had released a ravening beast within himself. Yet the beast that was his battle rage was kept on a tight rein, disciplined and directed, a formidable extra source of power during his plunge into the last battle."

* LastStarfighter: The last survivor of a planet of [[BadassArmy highly-skilled and galaxy-reknowned mercenaries]] versus a shadowy Warlord and his powerful organisation. Fortunately, Keill Randor is a OneManArmy with [[MadeOfIron unbreakable bones]].

* LastStarfighter: The Last Legionary. Hey, all of his friends were killed by the Villain in a sneak attack, too!

* ExpositionOfImmortality: In ''Galactic Warlord'', Talis patiently explains to Keill that the alien Glr is not an "it" but a she, and that the Ehrlil are very long-lived, the scientist who first encountered her was his father. Flr herself chips in that she's four hundred, and still considered a wayward youth by her people.

* KungShui: "Demolition!" - In ''Young Legionary'' this is both a means of practicing hand-to-hand combat techniques and letting off steam for the Morosians; rooms set up with various hard objects to smash. It's often used as a means of racing between two legionaries.

''Galactic Warlord'' covers Keill returning to Moros and narrowly avoiding being killed along with everyone else, due to damage sustained in a brief spacefight. He vows to avenge his people and sets out to find out who committed the atrocity and whether there are any other survivors, which brings him into contact with the Overseers and Glr and also, a group of thugs masquerading as Legion survivors.

''Deathwing Over Veynaa'' sees him set out on his first mission on behalf of Talis and the Overseers; to a civil war between asteroid miners and the Veynaan government. Agents of the Warlord, the Deathwing, are seeking to escalate the conflict and gain control over the valuable substance mined in the Veynaan asteroid belt.

Flr herself chips in that she's four hundred, and still considered a wayward youth by her people.

* GenocideBackfire: The BigBad deciding the Legions of Moros were the major obstacle to him conquering the galaxy and that eliminating was the best course of action? Doesn't work out so well. The Legions weren't even aware of the Warlord's existence prior to the attack that left Kiell the only survivor of his race.

* GenocideBackfire: A dead straight example.
