* DressHitsFloor: More like "Dress Disappears." In the third novel, Elanna invites Hunter to her quarters and shows him some of her memories via MentalFusion. Then she presses a green dot on her throat, and her dress dissolves, leaving her standing there in all her naked glory. Surprisingly, Hunter manages to retain some self-control, even when under the effect of Elanna's pheromones, and tries to tell her that he's already in a relationship. Except then he thinks about it and realizes that he and Gerri were never exclusive due to him often being on deployment. Elanna explains that nudity is not taboo in her culture. Hunter assumes that this was all just a demonstration and is a little relieved that she's not trying to sleep with him. Elanna counters that of course she is and proceeds to do just that, with Hunter being a willing participant.

* FlyingSaucer: The most common type of alien craft. As Hunter learns, the aliens are apparently not so great at safety, since so many of them have crashed on Earth over the decades. At the same time, a large number of them aren't actually shaped like saucers but crescents.
* FreeLoveFuture: According to Elanna, permanent relationships aren't really a thing in her time. While some prefer serial monogamy, most don't form any exclusive relationships at all. Sex isn't treated as anything taboo or special. Public nudity is also a normal occurrence. It's just a way to express yourself and to get to know another person closer.
* FrickinLaserBeams: The 1-JSST is issued RAND/Starbeam 3000 variable-stream heavy laser rifles as their primary weapons. While they're certainly powerful at the highest setting, the battery can only handle 4 such shots before being depleted. Firing at the lowest setting isn't likely to do much damage, despite extending the number of shots to 50. They're also given Sunbeam Type 1 Mod 3 pulse laser pistols with a battery pack that lasts for 4 shots, although each shot delivers enough energy as a standard blasting cap. The F/S-49 Stingray aerospace fighters are likewise armed with lasers (as well as Gatling guns and missiles).

* StarfishAliens: This is how “true” aliens are distinguished from the {{Ultraterrestrials}}. The Greys, Nordics, and Saurians only remotely resemble terrestrial organisms because that’s exactly what they are. Genuine extraterrestrials are far more alien in body, mind, and even basic chemistry.

The carrier's most powerful weapon is a 300-meter spinal Mass Accelerator Gun (basically a railgun). The ''Big H'' ends up using it in the second novel while traveling at 90% of the speed of light (and using sensor data from one of the cruisers to aim the MAG, as her own sensors are unreliable at those speeds). The hit guts a massive alien ship with weapons powerful enough to OneHitKill a Solar Warden cruiser and shields that shrug off cruiser lasers.
