When General Ba'kif asks if she'd be willing to give him her own ship, the ''Grayshrike''. After a brief pause, she decides that Apros would indeed deserve it more than her. However, Ba'kif was merely curious and instead gives Apros command of the patrol cruiser ''Parala'', even noting it was Admiral Ar'alani's first command.

* EurekaMoment: One of Qilori's tasks, assigned by Jixtus, is to discover how the Chiss navigate through the Chaos even when not employing Pathfinders or any other navigator guild. Jixtus suspects they may be employing a mechanical device for calculating the path, possibly recovered from Lesser Space. It's not until the final battle that Qilori has an epiphany and realizes why the navigator controls on Chiss ships seem to be positioned so close to the chair: they're meant for children! Then he quickly forgets about the realization due to pressing matters.

** Thrawn's Paccosh friend Uingali foar Marocsaa is also shown to be an excellent and resourceful commander in his own right (seeming to be the Paccosh version of Thrawn in some ways), and his team of commandos are more effective ass-kickers than the Chiss are themselves, and are extremely active in the fight against the Grysk's spreading influence.

* MagneticHero: Thrawn is showing elements of this by this book; various species and individuals he's helped in the past two novels return to help him against the Grysks, and Ziinda notes that, for all the ''many'' people who don't actually ''like'' Thrawn, an awful lot of them are willing to risk everything to support him. She also notes that, (between his blindspots when it comes to politics and his focus on tactical choices that seem obvious to him,) he probably doesn't even realise that he inspires this.

* WorthyOpponent: It is clear that Jixtus considers Thrawn to be this, but it's not clear if it's reciprocated; while fully acknowledging how dangerous and clever Jixtus is, Thrawn treats him as simply an especially dangerous enemy who needs to be destroyed, and shows none of the reluctant respect or wish to be on the same side that often characterises this trope.

* BoardingParty: Thrawn's Paccosh friend Uingali foar Marocsaa takes his captured Nikardun gunboat to Sunrise (with Thrawn and Qilori aboard) and claims to be the Nikardun fleeing an enemy to get close to Kilji and Grysk ships in the system. Just then, the ''Springhawk'' arrives. Quickly figuring out what's going on, Samakro warns the Kilji and the Grysks not to interfere in their hunt for the Nikardun. The Kilji and the Grysks allow the gunboat to approach, anticipating a battle with the ''Springhawk''. But the Paccosh marines storm the Kilji ship and quickly slaughter everyone aboard, except for the hired Pathfinder. Thrawn then uses the ship's weapons to aid the ''Springhawk'' in battle against the Grysk ship before returning to the gunboat.
