* CurbStompBattle: Apart from the [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready initial assault on Earth]], the final battle of the war on Mars ends [[spoiler:with the destruction of most of the Martian forces being destroyed by the Cavorite bombs at the end. Also the destruction of the moon base by the combined British/Commonwealth fleets against the Martian infiltrators. Though they take severe losses, and most of Southern England is obliterated, they manage to destroy what may be the last vestiges of the Martians in the Solar System]].

* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: [[spoiler:Ahron succeed in convincing the surviving "Martians" in giving up their self-destructive genocide by reminding them of how their fear of an unknown enemy that had destroyed their civilization had led them into becoming the same oppressors in occupying other alien planets, stripping their resources, and killing their inhabitants to armour themselves against an enemy they no longer recall.]]
* TimeSkip: [[spoiler:25 years after Ahron convinced the "Martians" to end their hostilities, all the races of the Solar System have entered a peaceful era.

Added DiffLines:

* BrainUploading: [[spoiler:The "Martians" captured Captain Lewis Skellern and attempted to imprint one of their minds onto Skellern's as an experiment in a desperate bid to stave off of their imminent extinction. However, they did not expect their experiment had only created a third consciousness in Skellern, as the Martian mind dominating Skellern [[HumanityEnsues developed feelings]].]]


Added DiffLines:

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:The alien who possessed Lewis Skellern decide to help Icarus and Ahron as he doesn't want the "Martians" kill everyone in the Solar System, and that they will kill him for showing human feelings.]]


Added DiffLines:

* HumansAreBastards: Irya describe humanity as an expansionist empire who are anti-alien (given how the Venusians were treated on Earth) and seeking resources from other planets under the guise of "giving their poor, primitive neighbours a helping hand." Even the [[spoiler:"Martian"-possessed Skellern]] agrees, reminding how human history is fraught with suppression, slavery, and subjugation all for the sake of self-interest.
* HumanityOnTrial: It is discussed between Ahron and Irya over allowing Earth and humanity to die as long it would mean the end of the "Martians", who are willing to go down fighting and take Earth with them as they are slowly dying out. Irya agrees with letting humanity die as they have [[HumansAreBastards less redeemable traits]] when dealing with non-human races. But Ahron, however, refused to allow Earth destroyed as he still have friends and family there, and that everyone should be better than that regardless of what humans will do.
