* {{Precursors}}: [[spoiler:After the Noon Train heist, Raven reveals to Zen that the Guardians ''didn't'' actually build the K-Gates -- instead, they were assembled by a [[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens mind-bogglingly advanced alien race]] known as the Railmakers. Later on it turns out that the plural was incorrect, and there was only one ''Railmaker'' -- a benevolent [[DeusEstMachina data-entity]] so powerful the Guardians killed it out of a combination of fear and envy]].

* TheWrongfulHeirToTheThrone: After Emperor Mahalaxmi XIII is killed in the Spindlebridge crash, Threnody's sister Priya Noon becomes Empress -- and despite [[DesignerBaby being quite literally born to rule]], she proves to be a paranoid and unpopular NervousWreck, leading to [[EvilChancellor Rail Marshal Delius]] effectively staging a coup to replace her with the much better-liked Threnody, who she will be able to manipulate to her own ends.

* PostCyberpunk: The general "vibe" of the Network Empire. Sure, there's poverty, greedy {{Mega Corp}}s and self-aggrandizing A.I.s, but life for most ordinary folks isn't too bad and mostly untroubled, and none of the advanced technology has had the chance to GoHorriblyWrong. The Imperial family is [[HegemonicEmpire far more interested in hunting, partying and internal power games]] to bother with CrushingThePopulace, and indeed one of the things the [[DeusEstMachina Guardians]] seem to be best at is breathing down the necks of the Corporate Families to ensure they get as few people killed in their squabbles as reasonably possible.

* ShoutOut: All trains choose whimsical names for themselves upon activation, most of which are obscure ParentalBonus style references not aimed at the target audience -- the practice itself is very similar to [[Literature/TheCulture Culture ship names]].
