* ArtificialLimbs: Seemingly a speciality of Steinbech's technology, not counting their weapons tech. And they don't ''just'' do replacements. Vogel gets a "cast" over his broken arm which is basically a gauntlet, and he's shown being able to move it almost like normal while it's healing.
* {{Flight}}: A rare few humans, such as Zeppelin and her father before her, are "volants", capable of unaided flight. It's not very well known how they've come about, how common they are, or just what makes a volant, but it does seem to be naturally occurring, and they ''are'' a known quantity in the world; Hemmel was sought out to join the Steinbech military specifically so he could be groomed as a war hero and icon. [[spoiler:At some point before the events of the comic started, Zamora started experimenting on humans to try and "induce" volant traits in humans, and are eventually capable of mass-producing them for wartime.]] Of note, despite the rough technology level of the setting, Volants are the ''only'' current source of human flight, making them all the more valuable.

** For that matter, a lot of trouble could have been avoided if the Steiner military had informed Zamora that they were escorting Vogel home (or just asked for a pickup at the border) instead of trying to sneak through with an armed convoy, but they were trying to avoid the political embarrassment of admitting that a Zamoran tourist had gotten injured on Steinbech's watch to begin with.
