Added DiffLines:

* CoolStarship: Averted. The Javelins might seem like this; were it not for the crew selection, all of the equipment failures, the [[spoiler: human experimentation]] and the [[spoiler: AI being programmed to kill everyone on command]].
* CrewOfOne: The story starts out this way; until Aspen breaks several bones and has to revive one of the Friends to get medical treatment. The last survivors of the previous crew of the ''Courageous'' were in similar situations; but were unable to revive anyone else to help them before they died.


Added DiffLines:

* DisposableVehicleSection: The Javelins were designed as a series of 26 sequential rings around a common axis; any of which except the foreward and aft engines can be ejected if needed. [[spoiler: Three rings are ejected from the ''Courageous'' before it gets to Hylara, including two of the five chronostasis rings carrying the colonists in suspended animation]].


Added DiffLines:

* SkeletonCrew: Aspen finds the remains of some of the previous ''Courageous'' crew in this situation; apart from [[spoiler: Captain Reimann and Captain Kinoshita, who were killed under very different circumstances]].
