History Fanfic / HuntedTribes

* JackOfAllTrades: The view of the Wolverines about Colonial and Cylon ships- both good and bad. They claim that the Colonials had a philosophy of battle that emphasized this with their Battlestars, where they were both Carrier and Aircraft Carrier, and thus wasn't as good at either job. They do note that Battlestars are at least capable of doing both jobs well, just not good as purpose-built warships or carriers. They have the other opinion about the Cylons- that they have Carriers[=/=]Missile Platforms with mass fighter attacks, but are terrible at ''both.''

* JustFollowingOrders: The Wolverines savagely disagree with the Pegasus crew's attempts to pull this, claiming that anyone who gave the sort of orders Cain did should have been put up against a wall and shot by their own soldiers before doing the things they did.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: Nike and Gibson's plan for his Trial of Grievance failed to take into account how he was supposed to brake safely.]]
** Due to not really understanding how human psychology or relations work, Nike accidentally turns Doral into a nightmarish, rapist, serial killer when she unlocks his blocked memories.

* LoyalPhlebotinum: Nike.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Starbuck points out that while, yes, Colonial machine guns mounted on their Vipers are pretty much useless against the armor the Wolverines use, the glass canopies that said fighters use are not ''nearly'' as tough, and the same goes for the engines. This on top of Raiders and Vipers being much faster and more maneuverable mean that it's quite possible to get shot down and killed, so, as Starbuck says, don't get arrogant. In fact, exploiting this weakness is ''exactly'' how the Cylons manage the kill they do get in their first encounter with Wolverine fighters.

* JustFollowingOrders: The Wolverines savagely disagree with the Pegasus crew's attempts to pull this.

** A explanation to both why the cylons spines glow and how the final five came to be that makes more senses than the show's.

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: How convenient that there was a Greek-speaker on the spacecraft intercepting Racetrack's Raptor. On the other hand, the need for interpretation and translation efforts between Caprican/Greek and English is a running effort.

* WeakButSkilled: Compared to Inner Sphere and Clan tech, Colonial and Cylon ships come up short in terms of armor and firepower... but their fighters are much faster, their kinetic weapons are better, and they have superior FTL maneuverability, and are used to thinking outside the box in order to defeat their foes.

* AIIsACrapshoot: The reason for the distrust of Nike - Colonials see her as an overgrown Toaster, Wolverine ancestors had to fight through her kind to get to Terra in the Amaris Coup.

* UnfortunateNames: When Geoffrey Cale marries Cally Henderson, Cale's commanding officer chews him out for it, and for saddling the poor girl with a pornstar name. Geoffrey promises said officer an asskicking (that he probably can't deliver, but will die trying) if he doesn't stop talking smack about his wife-to-be, and says that she's decided to go by her full name, Calandra, instead.

''[[http://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-20043/Hotpoint+Hunted+Tribes.htm Hunted Tribes]]'' is a ''Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined[=/=]{{TabletopGame/BattleTech}}'' crossover written by Hotpoint, who also authors ''Fanfic/{{XSGCOM}}''. It offers his usual blend of action, drama and humour.

** The Epigraph of chapter 14 is a blatant shout-out to the live-action Iron Man film.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Starbuck points out that while, yes, Colonial machine guns mounted on their Vipers are pretty much useless against the armor the Wolverines use, the glass canopies that said fighters use are not ''nearly'' as tough, and the same goes for the engines. This on top of Raiders and Vipers being much faster and more maneuverable mean that it's quite possible to get shot down and killed, so, as Starbuck says, don't get arrogant.

* ArtificialGravity: The Colonials have it, the Wolverines don't, and it's the purported reason for why Kearny-Fuchida drives cannot jump into gravity wells the way Colonial Jumpdrive can.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Hera is said to have type O blood, which is apparently totally unknown among Colonial humans. O type blood is a recessive trait, meaning that Karl would have had to be at least a carrier of the allele which statistically speaking would require that previous Colonials possessed that type. In addition the canon explanation for the cancer-curing properties of her blood was a combination of human and Cylon red blood cell surface proteins, type O is characterized by an ''absence'' of such proteins.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Roslin tries to pull this card regarding Cylon [=POW=]s. The Wolverines respond that they managed to survive a conflict with a genocidal foe without resorting to summary executions, and that most cultures would have bought Roslin's argument, but they won't.

* SchizoTech: The Wolverines consider the discrepancy in Colonial capabilities bizarre. The Colonials return the favour, albeit not to the same extent.

* InterchangeableAsianCultures: Some Vietnamese from Kowloon are characters. This may be just a holdover from BT canon, where there really is a planet called that, but in RealLife Kowloon is part of the very Chinese Hong Kong. (It's actually a reference to another Battletech fanfic series, in which the planet Kowloon is settled by Vietnamese Montangards, Jews, and other refugees, led by the Ngo family. Lengthy multi-generation series by an author known as "Cannonshop", mostly posted on the Battletech forums.)

* ShownTheirWork: As is the case for most of his stories, Hotpoint has author's notes after every chapter explaining ''exactly'' where in the original works every character, plot-twist and gadget in the chapter came.

* FixFic: A number of things the writer doesn't liked about the show's canon namely:

* NeverLiveItDown: The crew of the ''Pegasus'', after Cain's actions. On a more humorous note, Lance the Cat for Romo Lampkin, who has become his unofficial mascot against his wishes (he doesn't even like the cat).

* AllAsiansAreAlike: Some Vietnamese from Kowloon are characters. This may be just a holdover from BT canon, where there really is a planet called that, but in RealLife Kowloon is part of the very Chinese Hong Kong.

* LighterAndSofter: Well when compared to the show anyway.

* PayEvilUntoEvil: After the ineffective battle between the Cylon Fleet and the SLDF one, Caprica Six, who had been assured by a One that "The Thirteenth has no FTL drives" tracks down the one and breaks his nose. Knowing that there had been so many losses in that battle that it took ''three weeks'' for her to finally get resurrected, the Cylon fleets in full retreat to protect their assets from a feared counter-attack, and that the SLDF proved very conclusively that they ''did'' have FTL technology, the One admits that he probably deserved it.
