** While investigating the ''Envoy'', SBI Director Armand Isard inwardly grumbles about Jedi interference and how they've been mysteriously snooping around the Works and 500 Republica. This is a reference to the Jedi's hunt for Darth Sidious, which occurred in Luceno's ''Labyrinth of Evil''.

** Even Jacen Solo/Darth Caedus gets this treatment from ''Literature/LegacyOfTheForce'', with Han going from having wished that they "dropped that kid out the medcenter window the day he was born'' in ''Inferno'' to hoping that his son finds redemption in the afterlife.

Fate Of The Jedi hadn't come out yet, so it's obviously meant to be Legacy Of The Force.


* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Han and Lando's discussion early on about Daala's ascendancy to Head of State at the end of ''Fate of the Jedi''. It's not hard at all to see heir exchange about how out of character it was for Han to elevate her (given their history) and how stupid an idea it was as Luceno acknowledging and agreeing with fan sentiment at the time.

* SheepInSheepsClothing: In a sense; [[spoiler: Lester Oxic. Oxic is a celebrated attorney deeply respected for having defended Palaptine's enemies who turns out to have Fenn keeping Jadak alive to lead him to the treasure and go after him with all kinds of henchmen throughout the novel. His henchmen never hurt anyone though, and the treasure he's after isn't a monetary one, but a symbol of the honor of the Republic that he wants for sentimental and respectful reasons. He's even willing to pay Jadak and Filche for it once they've found it rather than try to take it by force,, and then hires them to find the real artifact upon discovering its a forgery.]]

* BreatherEpisode: After ''Literature/LegacyOfTheForce'' having gone significantly DarkerAndEdgier, not only is this LighterAndSofter, James Luceno was relieved to have "no galaxy-shattering events" while writing this novel. He also pushed for it to be set two years after ''Invincible'', to allow time for Han and Leia's grief over their son's death to subside.

* AntiVillain: While being the nominal antagonist, Lestric Oxic really isn't a bad guy. He's just a wealthy collector with an obsession for Republicana artwork.

* AFatherToHisMen: Downplayed with Rea Taunt, who is willing to make threats to his employees, but is deeply disturbed by the colloids devouring two of his people, remembering this and seeking to avenge it (as well as how the defective bus droids got him sent to prison) more than sixty years later.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: The ''Falcon'' is an odd non-human example. Tobb and Reeze had high hopes to keep it for themselves after the Clone Wars, Rea Taunt saw it as a pinnacle of his success, Quip Fargil was unable to use it for a SuicideMission for the Rebellion due to growing too attached to the ship. CI Trouvee was willing to risk his life over a wager to get enough money to keep the ship running, and even after losing to to Lando in a poker game took pride in having owned it. and then of course, there's Lando and Han, whose feelings towards the ship are well established.
