** In the finale, Raeder saves the ''entire Commonwealth'', and gets chewed out by a reg-stickler Admiral for not following obscure first-contact protocols while gathering the allies needed to do so, despite most of the fleet not even knowing they ''exist''. This gets a black mark on Raeder's record that means he won't be welcomed back to the Navy once his current tour of duty is over.

* OpenSecret: Raeder is in hot water with Admiral Grettirson, has a meeting with General Scaragoglu, and then suddenly all possible punishments for Raeder's actions are deferred. Given that Scaragoglu is known for running covert ops, everyone on the ''Invincible'' quickly (and accurately) concludes that Raeder made a deal to run some sort of secret mission to get off the hook, even if they don't know precisely what that mission is.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Raeder never gets promotions or commendations for all the critical work he does to keep the Commonwealth going in the war, because all Admiral Grittirson cares about is that he broke regs doing it.
* EasyLogistics: Averted. The only reason the war is being fought at all is because the Mollies control over 90% of the Commonwealth's energy supply - otherwise they'd have been glad to see them leave. This means that in order to function at all, the Commonwealth has to steal fuel from the enemy.
