->{{Lust}}. Gluttony. {{Greed}}. {{Sloth}}. [[UnstoppableRage Wrath]]. {{Envy}}. {{Pride}}. These are the seven deadly sins of humanity... but humans are not the only creatures in the universe to surrender to their baser instincts. In the world of ''Star Trek'', [[PlanetOfHats entire civilizations]] are driven by avarice, or anger, or insatiable hunger, or one of the other fundamental urges that have come to define these fascinating species. Now, this edgy collection of original novellas explores these empires from the inside, delving into the qualities that shape their cultures and their worldviews, through characters as compelling as they are provocative.

* ArcWelding: The Romulan story (''The First Peer'') continues one of the plots from ''StarTrekVanguard'' (specifically, Proconsul Toqel’s efforts to find meaning in her daughter’s death). It ties the plot’s conclusion into the events surrounding formation of the Klingon/Romulan alliance; this helps solidify the ties between Vanguard and the rest of the Franchise/StarTrek continuity, specifically the [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Original Series]].
* TheCameo: Garak in ''The Slow Knife''. WordOfGod confirms it's him, if it wasn't evident from his self-description as "plain, simple".
* CaptainsLog: The Sloth story opens with a Pakled version, the “captain’s book”, as Aadnalurg phrases it. The given date is “today”. They are far from home. They will go further tomorrow.
* ChronicBackStabbingDisorder: Gaila.
* CombatTentacles: Voloczin strangles people with his.
* TheCorruption: The Borg nanoprobes in ''Revenant''.
* TheDitz: Bijon. An example: When he courts disaster by transporting three rival groups up to Gaila and Brunt’s arms dealership at once, Brunt asks him if he knows what an appointment is. His response is “...I’ve never been to Appointia...”
* DownerEnding: ''Revenant''. The only way for the surviving protagonists to survive a Federation assault is to [[spoiler: allow themselves to complete the assimilation and become Borg drones]].
* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: Including Bijon’s neck when Voloczin’s finished with him.
* FantasticRacism: The Klingons experience this between the ''[=HemQuch=]'' (ridged) and ''[=QuchHa=]''' (non-ridged) groups of their species. Sorkav in particular feels that any "smooth-headed" Klingon is not worthy of the name and shows outright insolence when forced to take orders from Kang, Kor or Koloth.
* FunWithAcronyms: At the expense of the character using them. Misremembering the title of his new organization, Brunt (known onscreen for his self-identifying catch-phrase "Brunt, FCA") introduces himself as "Brunt, GIT", before correcting "sorry, GAT..."
* JamesSwallow: Wrote the Cardassian story, ''The Slow Knife''.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: Ditrius]].
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Grodak, which led to Toqel severely underestimating him and the Klingons in general.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: This is the only reason, implicitly, why [[spoiler: Evan Walsh agreed to betray his own crew in ''Revenant'']]. He had no other motive to do so.
* PassedOverPromotion: Sanir Kein believes that she should have been promoted and given command of a small Cardassian ship instead of her colleague Laen Enkoa. She believes that part of it is because she is a female officer in the male-dominated military, and becomes [[TheResenter committed to disgracing Laen and proving her superiors wrong]].
* PragmaticVillainy: Explored in the Ferengi story. Brunt is disgusted when Gaila’s business dealings result in death camps and ethnic cleansing on the Urwyzden worlds - this disgust is not, however, due to any ethical objection as we might recognise it, but because dead people can’t contribute to the economy. It’s an appalling waste of resources, and a true Ferengi would be ashamed.
* PunnyName: The Ferengi underworld boss, [=DaiMon=] Blud. He’s quite aware of his name’s phonetic resemblance to a certain English word, and of the somewhat suitable connotations inherent in it. He kindly requests that you don’t bring it up.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Nicholas Locarno, though you could argue assimilation into the Borg is much worse than death.]]
* SevenDeadlySins: Obviously. Though the stories differ considerably in the degree to which the sin is overtly the character’s downfall. The Cardassian and Romulan stories (Envy and Pride, respectively), are the closest to the classic use of the sins.
** The reasoning behind the assignment of each sin is as follows: The Klingons are Wrath (specifically, in this case, taking the form of racial hatred between [[FantasticCasteSystem crested and non-crested Klingons]], and the violent rage the tensions awake in them). The Romulans are Pride (with a tendency to underestimate the other races due to their arrogant assumptions), the Mirror Universe is Lust (both sexual and lust for power); the Ferengi are Greed (specifically pursuit of profit); the Cardassians are Envy (both as a society in general, as their worlds are resource poor and their neighbours have far more, and in the specific case of the protagonist, who feels her commander was promoted above her unfairly); the Pakled are Sloth (the title, Work is Hard, says it all); and the Borg are Gluttony (overconsumption in general, rather than overeating).
* SpannerInTheWorks: Sanir Kein ends up being this for Jagul Hanno, when she allows Laen Enkoa to proceed with his attack on Setlik III, hoping the resultant idiocy will get him removed from the captaincy she feels is rightfully hers. This makes Enkoa a more direct SpannerInTheWorks; the assault on Setlik III pushes Cardassia closer to war with the Federation, potentially undoing years of careful work on Hanno’s part to ensure peace – including, ironically, the reasoning behind his giving Enkoa the job over Kein in the first place.
* TheSyndicate: The Ferengi story introduces the Shadow Treasurers, the Ferengi criminal underworld. They're mentioned again in the novel [[Literature/StarTrekTheNextGenerationRelaunch ''Indistinguishable From Magic'']].
* TooDumbToLive: The Pakleds, particularly Aadnalurg.
* UnfortunateNames: A Klingon character named Targ; that's like a human being named "Pig" or "Swine".
* TheVoiceless: Thot Lok and the rest of the Breen.
* YodelLand: The Urwyzden system is a deliberate parody of the popular idea of Switzerland. It features: mountains, banking, ski slopes, banking, complete neutrality, and banking.
