* NoAnimalsWereHarmed: The nudj (a large lizard) that attacks Antim is stunned, not killed.

* GenderNeutralWriting: Kax is expressly nonbinary (although the word itself is never used in-text; everyone just seems to understand), and is always referred to with "they/them" pronouns.

** Tevix is a pilot-for-hire and a ruthless KnifeNut on almost no one's radar. However, [[spoiler: she becomes a prominent underworld boss who plans a serious blitz on the Mid Rim, and goes from ''that'' to beginning a promising smuggling career. In the process, she makes an honest attempt to change her impulsive and untrusting ways.]]

* KnifeNut: Tevix's preferred form of violence features blades, and she's never caught without a few stashed somewhere on her.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Rather than the usual Star Wars story (which features Jedi, involves Force powers, and contains the overarching theme of heroic idealists doing the right thing), ''Voices'' stars the galactic "smallfolk," and leans heavily on the idea of people doing what they need to do to keep going.

* DemolitionsExpert: Var'desh acts as this for the Project Anthem team. A rare case of RealityEnsues, wherein someone who blows things up for a living is a terrifying presence. Even R'ala wants nothing to do with him.

* BadassGay: R'ala is in love with a woman, and is also a brilliant computer slicer, builder of weapons, and experienced killer.

* CompleteMonster: Tak Artur has few redeeming values, if any. When we learn his backstory, it turns out that he obtained his monstrous battleship after murdering a bunch of defenseless young activists who were going to use it to extract survivors from a planet with high radiation levels.

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler: The Sickle's labor droid is seared in half by a carbine rifle while trying to murder Tevix.]]

* AchillesHeel: The Harvester and [[spoiler: the ''Precision']] can only be shielded one at a time due to sharing an energy source and only being manned by one person. [[spoiler: Kax is able to exploit this by essentially making a suicide run.]]

* R'ala's purpose in bringing Glyn to a seemingly random spaceport on an ice planet while wearing an uncharacteristically feminine dress she previously refused to wear was [[spoiler: to propose marriage.]]

* FinalBoss: [[spoiler: Tak Artur]] very much makes himself this, as taking out the [[spoiler: ''Precision'' and the Harvester]] is the only thing that can effectively end the battle and foil [spoiler: Tevix's]] plans.
