* GutturalGrowler: As one would expect from a grumpy feline, she speaks with a raspy voice.

* OutOfFocus: Ransom was never a main character but starting Season 2, he's mostly been in the background with maybe a line an episode as the other members of the bridge crew took over to show the POV of the ''Cerritos'''s inner circle.

* MirroringFactions: To the crew members of ''[[WesternAnimation/StarTrekProdigy USS Protostar]]'', being that they are a crew of [[RagtagBandOfMisfits ragtag misfits]] (to say nothing of ''Cerritos''' mischief) who are part of Starfleet. While the ''Cerritos'' crew members are Starfleet Officers with some experience but they are from much less prestigious postings, the ''Protostar'' crew are children with no experience from Starfleet at all and are simply escaping from a tyrant, having had to being brought up to speed about the Federation and Starfleet by the Hologram Janeway.

** To reflect the contrast furthermore, the ''Cerritos'' is a science vessel clearly not equipped on hostile situations like combat with its ass getting kicked by its more powerful enemies for most of the time, unlike the ships in the previous series that are capable of sustaining amounts of punishment.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: The crew members of ''Cerritos'' are an established motley crew who are dysfunctional and sometimes insubordinate, suffering from discipline issues and other cocktail of problems like command issues, unlike the crew members of previous ''Trek'' shows who tend to be orderly and professional in their duties.

-->'''Shaxs:''' Not if I have anything to scream about it!

* AscendedExtra: While originally a OneSceneWonder, her name alone increased her screen time come Season 2, and by Season 3 she and Mariner are dating. However, after breaking-up with Mariner at the end of Season 3, [[DemotedToExtra she ends up reverting back to being the minor background character she was in Season 1]].

* OfficialCouple: She and Mariner get together at some point between "First First Contact" and "Mining the Mind's Mines", but they break up in the penultimate episode of season 3. Season 4 hasn't addressed their relationship since Mariners return to the Cerritos.

* AscendedExtra: While originally a OneSceneWonder, her name alone increased her screen time come Season 2, and by Season 3 she and Mariner have [[RelationshipUpgrade upgraded to calling each other "babe"]] (but they don't want to label it yet).

* OutOfFocus: In Season 3, with Tendi no longer serving under her, she is seen far less frequently than before.

* FamedInStory: Despite being a ''California''-class and not too amazing in the whole workings of Starfleet, the ''Cerritos'' is actually beloved by other ''California''-class crew in the fleet, being considered the ''Enterprise'' of the ''California''-class. This is due to their adventures, including surviving two encounters with the Pakleds. Following its battle with the rogue ''Texas''-class drone ships, during which time it survived ''crashing out of warp'' after using its warp core as a bomb, it seems Starfleet has begun to treat the ''Cerritos'' and the ''Cali''-class in general with a smidge more respect as well.

** Outright defied as of the Season 3 finale. The ''Cerritos'' takes out two ''Texas''-class starships and damages a third, all while overspeeding to buy themselves time and ''crashing out of warp'' because the crew [[GodzillaThreshold resorted to weaponizing their warp core]], and '''still''' survives a pair of attacks by those ships whereas a ''Sovereign''-class starship (and a Federation ''Starbase'') goes against them... and both are nearly destroyed outright by the ''Aledo'' and her sister-ships. Yes, the ''Cerritos'' has to go into Spacedock for repairs afterwards, but that is one badass little support ship that can take a beating while others are left in pieces.
