!!This series contains examples of:
* AnyoneCanDie: With limited supplies and a whole universe of unknown variables, nobody is guaranteed to survive till the end. The first episode alone sees at least eight crewmates die, on top of the ship's entire command structure being killed off.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Most of the surviving crew were only trained for specific roles, and are not good at improvising to fill new ones.
* HeroicSacrifice: In the first episode, Harris dies after giving his oxygen supply to a dying crewmate.
* MasterOfNone: In theory, Lt. Sharon Garnet has some knowledge about every aspect of the ship, but she readily admits that this does not make her an expert at anything.
