* FixedForwardFacingWeapon: Some capital ships have a weapon called a "null field" that is projected from the front of the ship. Unlike most of this type of weapon, it's very short-ranged (for a space weapon), but tends to be an OneHitKill as it just disintegrates a large chunk out of whatever ship it hits and breaks down most shields.

** In the first book, Geary mentions the Third Frigate Squadron. Frigates are never mentioned again after that, and it seems like destroyers become the smallest vessels in the fleet.
** In the first series, Geary mentions that he has no family estate, or at least didn't when he went into cryo. Fast forward to the third series, when he takes Tanya to Glenyon for their second honeymoon, and he shows her the family estate, which dates back to when the Gearys were first-generation settlers of the planet (A CallBack to the ''Genesis Fleet'' series). A detail about said estate later gets used as a TrustPassword to confirm [[spoiler:that the Captain of a certain Syndic battlecruiser is really Michael Geary.]]

** When the fleet jumps into the first two systems after escaping the Syndic home star system, they must wait for a real-time picture of the star system, with their information updating in an expanding bubble centred on the fleet; it is several hours after entering the systems before they spot Syndic defence forces. In every subsequent instance from the second book onwards, ships receive a complete picture of a system the moment they arrive.
