* HeroRivalBaddieTeamUp: The final fight against the extradimensional creatures sees Jim Kirk team up with his Klingon rival Commander Kor, and Romulan frenemy Commander T'Cel with whom he has UnresolvedSexualTension (she had previously been a civilian consultant stationed on USS ''Farragut'' and escaped with him when it was destroyed, only to leave to draw off Romulans investigating the incident and turn out to be half-Romulan herself). Their bond of mutual respect is enough to overcome the SpaceColdWar state between their three governments so they can deal with the monsters that have been attacking area shipping for decades.

* TragicTimeTraveler: {{Downplayed}} with Dr. Gillian Taylor. After being sent to the future from the 80s as a result of the events of ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome'', she mentions having a lot of trouble adjusting to the future, even re-learning English because the language evolved so much since her time.

* KlingonPromotion: A non-lethal variation occurs. Starfleet lieutenant Jamie Finney, who acts as a liaison officer on Commander Kor's Klingon ship, recommends caution in an unclear tactical situation. Khadri, a female Klingon officer taller by more than a head responds by insulting her as coming from a "coward's race" and threatens her, to which Finney reacts by knocking Khadri out with a flying kick.
-->'''Kor:''' Most impressive.\\
'''Finney:''' Her challenge left me no alternative, commander.\\
'''Kor:''' And you rose to the occasion, Lieutenant, like a Klingon. I salute you. Of course you realize your victory entitles you to assume Khadri's status and position aboard the ''Revenge''.\\
'''Finney:''' Commander! That really isn't necessary--!\\
'''Kor:''' Oh, but it ''is''. In fact, I insist, as a means of binding our regrettably ad hoc alliance more closely together.



* MilitaryMaverick: {{Discussed}} by Sulu at one point. Kirk, T'Cel, and Kor all have one thing in common: they're often politically inconvenient to their governments, and ''very'' good at their jobs. Ergo, they get picked for difficult missions that can't really get any public acknowledgement. Their personal bonds are part of this: they can form an off-the-books EnemyMine despite their governments being in a three-way SpaceColdWar.

* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: T'Kir is early established to only be half-Romulan, and is strongly insinuated to be Kirk's daughter, meaning she's half human. She notes to Kirk that her mother would playfully chide her as "painfully human," and her name means "Daughter of Kir." T'Kir mentions she would like to learn more about the "other half" of her heritage, and Kirk agrees to help her along the way.]]

* HalfHumanHybrid: HeinzHybrid: [[spoiler: T'Kir is early established to only be half-Romulan, and is strongly insinuated to be Kirk's daughter, daughter (although exactly when they could have had the opportunity to conceive her is unclear given the events of the USS ''Farragut'' sequence), meaning she's half human.human. Her mother is herself genetically half-Vulcan, so by implication T'Kir is in total half-human, 1/4 Vulcan, 1/4 Romulan. She notes to Kirk that her mother would playfully chide her as "painfully human," and her name means "Daughter of Kir." T'Kir mentions she would like to learn more about the "other half" of her heritage, and Kirk agrees to help her along the way. ]]


Added DiffLines:

* NonHumanHumanoidHybrid: In her first appearance in the comic, T'Cel is depicted as acting quite a bit more passionately than Vulcans typically do. She later turns out to be half-Vulcan, half-Romulan like Saavik (who also appears in the comic): her mother was rescued from an EscapePod well before the events of "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E14BalanceOfTerror Balance of Terror]]" and mistaken for a Vulcan, and declined to correct the Federation's mistake, and had her with a Vulcan. {{Downplayed}} since technically Vulcans and Romulans are subspecies of the same humanoid species.

* MixedAncestry:
** As T'Cel explains, her mother, a full-blooded Romulan, was rescued from an escape pod as a child and mistaken for a Vulcan, as nobody in the Federation knew they were the same species yet. T'Cel, like Saavik, is half-Vulcan, but chose to rejoin her mother's people and embrace her Romulan half (whereas Saavik is shunned by some of T'Cel's crew for hewing to her Vulcan half).
** T'Kir is as well. However while the book openly establishes that she's of mixed race, and T'Kir is keen to learn more about her father's people, the clues as to what the other half actually ''is'' are far more subtle. [[spoiler:It's heavily implied that she's Kirk's daughter.]]
