** They've given up damaged and/or incomplete ships as a goodwill gesture because they realize they don't have the resources to actually fix and/or crew the vessels.
** They also speak about the money required to keep the crews paid and the ships stocked with weapons. Midway is a little richer than average, but not by a whole lot.

* AltarTheSpeed: Defied. [[spoiler:Iceni and Drakon]] deliberately decide to postpone their wedding until after an important mission, because they don't want it to look like they're hurrying up in case one of them dies.

Not only did she hide the full extent of her mental instability, she's utterly obsessed with Drakon, first trying to separate him from all other friends and advisors, then [[spoiler:raping him while he's drunk]], and eventually trying to [[spoiler:murder Iceni at hers and Drakon's wedding]]. All while claiming she has his best intrests in mind.

''The Lost Stars'' is a hard SF series by [[Creator/JohnHemry Jack Campbell]], a spinoff of his ''Literature/TheLostFleet'' series. Taking place shortly after the end of the Alliance-Syndicate War, the Syndicate Worlds have begun collapsing following their defeat in the war. In the star system of Midway, two Syndicate [=CEOs=], Gewn Iceni and Artur Drakon, revolt and free their system from the Syndicate Worlds. It's an uphill struggle but they do have some things going for them. They have the (compromised) loyalty of their subordinates, the (mercurial) consent of the citizenry, and, most importantly, the (tepid) support of Black Jack, the godlike entity who single-handedly brought the Sydicate Worlds to its knees. Working together while always suspecting one is about to double cross the other, the face issues of controlling Midway themselves, and how to alter its oppressive practices, and defend it from the aliens only a star system away.

* EasyLogistics: Much like in the ''Lost Fleet'', it's averted here. Early on, Iceni and Drakon managed to capture a partially completed battleship. A good portion of their efforts after that are not just dedicated to obtaining more resources to complete it, but also to finding sailors to crew it, which proves to be much harder than one might imagine. It gets to the point where they have to embark a risky mission through Syndic space to retrieve several thousand prisoners of war from the Alliance to act as crew.

* TwentyFourHourArmor: After it's made clear that someone is trying to assassinate Bradamount when she's on a ship full of former Syndic prisoners of war, she wears Rogero's armor at all times until the end of the journey. RealityEnsues and the smell is utterly horrific when she takes it off.
Added DiffLines:
* AscendedExtra: Drakon, Iceni, Morgan, Malin, Rogero, Bradamont and Marphisa were all characters in ''The Lost Fleet'' but were minor characters at best. Rogero didn't even appear in person, only in the form of a recording. This time around, all of them are major characters with vastly larger roles.
Added DiffLines:
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: Averted with Rogero. He manages to resist being seduced by a recently liberated executive [[spoiler: who turns out to be an undercover snake]] and then thinks wryly that it's an achievement that he won't exactly be able to boast about.

[[spoiler: Malin has been lying to Drakon, it turns out that Morgan is actually his biological mother, Morgan's psych evaluation was falsified out of pity and she is dangerously unstable, it turns out that Morgan is pregnant with Drakon's child, and that she wants to raise the child to be someone who could rule over all of human space, surpassing even John "Black Jack" Geary.]]
