* EldritchAbomination: The series is particularly fond of these:
** "Boiled Egg" is a piece of so-called "Old-timer's Inheritance" which literally hatches an immense energetic bird-like being.
** The "Sara Dredd" which comes after Lawson in her TA-21 is actually a materialized manifestation of her grudge turned up to extreme. The fighter ship is capable fo regeneration, transforms into a hideous beast and completely {{NoSell}}s the Everblack Cannon.
** The planet Sakura Taurus houses another piece of Olt-timer's Inheritance which absorbed the real Sara Dredd along with her fighter ship and now manifests Sara's thoughts into real objects. Several times we are treated to the view of the ship being entangled in an eerily bilogically looking web of cables and tentacles.
