* GenreDeconstruction: Of various "heroic space rebels topple evil empire" stories, including [[StarWars Star Wars]]. The Alliance (or at least more extreme factions of it) resort to dirty tactics, including ''suicide bombing'' because they can't match the Empire's raw power, and the rebels' triumph leads to the collapse of most of the system into anarchy. And there's the "casualties in the billions" along the way.

Well, this isn't that story. In Lindsay Buroker's ''Fallen Empire'' series (the first book is available on Amazon for free [[https://www.amazon.com/Star-Nomad-Fallen-Empire-Book-ebook/dp/B01FWOW72W]]), the Tribus Solis System is in a state of disarray. The Tri-Suns Alliance has toppled the centuries old Sarellian Empire, but lacks the resources to assume control of the whole system. The Alliance controls three planets, the Imperial remnant controls one, and the remainder--the majority of the system--has fallen into a state of anarchy. Into this mess comes former Alliancepilot Alisa Marchenko, who seeks to reunite with her daughter Jelena. There's one small complication--Alisa is stranded on a poor, distant world and Jelena lives on Perun, the old Imperial capital and the one place the old regime holds sway.

* PointDefenseless: Played straight in "Ten Davids, Two Goliaths," two Imperial cruisers [[spoiler:are destroyed by fighters with torpedoes.]] Averted HARD in "Discovery and Flight." [[spoiler:The Imperial capital ships cover each other, shooting down most of the Alliance torpedoes. Those that get through detonate on the Imperials' shields. Very little damage is done for the massive amount of Alliance ordinance expenditure.]]
