* BeamSpam: After getting the particle laser technology from the [[Anime/GargantiaOnTheVerdurousPlanet Galactic Alliance of Humanity]], Rachel proceeds to cover all her combat units with them, and take advantage of her superior power sources to spam them fast enough to intercept a lot of incoming fire. Not just missiles, but also bullets. The 4th generation of the Skylord battleship has nearly a million of them.

They can survive indefinitely without lungs, can [[MetalMuncher eat radioactive metal]] (and often do so for flavor), reproduce via [[BizarreAlienReproduction tiny eggs that they dunk in water]], and have a [[SpareBodyParts redundant nervous system that allows them to walk off a severed spine]].

* DeflectorShields: Present in a variety of flavors, of which most people use one. Rachel integrates multiple layers and types into her units. Her units start with an outer "matrix" bubble shield, followed by a "standing-wave" bubble shield and a conformal "matrix" shield. The matrix shields can be bypassed by various methods, but can be easily shaped and there are a variety of tricks to make them recharge faster. Standing-wave shields have to be brute-forced down and can't be bypassed, but shaping them is difficult.
** We also see "hardlight barriers" which block fire coming in and out. Rachel finds them annoying because her bullets (made of "metastable crystaline" neutronium) go through them without doing much to the integrity of the barrier.

''Limit Theory'' is the sixth major ''VideoGame/PlanetaryAnnihilation'' SelfInsert fic. It is being written by [=ltmauve=].
Rachel Ezros is a Progenitor Commander with some memory of being a human. She winds up in the ''Stargate'' universe and things proceed from there.

** [[Anime/MacrossFrontier Grace O'Conner]] has actually been puppetted by an AI designed for cybernetics research, as well as a lot of Macross Galaxy's military staff and civilian leadership.
** The fic differentiates between "hardware-based AIs," who essentially have brains made out of artificial materials, and "software-based AIs," which are the ones that cause problems.
* AlternateUniverseFic: Present to a certain extent in all universes visited so far.
** In Stargate, there's no time travel. The history of the Ori, the Ascended, and the Destiny Expedition are also changed.
** In RWBY, Aura and Dust are greatly different, everyone wears armor into combat, and the history is very different.
* CurbStompBattle: Between superior firepower, defenses, and the fact that the first knowledge of the Exiles for opponents tends to come in the form of incoming fire, most battles in the fic tend to be very lobsided in the Exiles' favor.
