Up To Eleven is being dewicked.


* LargeHamTitle: All Iconians, but taken UpToEleven with SHLIFFG's father, Eternal Grand Supreme High Emperor Destined-for-Glorious-Deeds. And that's just the ''shortest'' version of his formal name: The full version is stated to have more titles attached than is practical for even the Iconians to use, and the bit that is shown is a nonstop train of pretentious honorifics.

* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: {{Deconstructed}} and {{Reconstructed}}. The Klingons take massive casualties in the initial Iconian attack on Qo'noS, as their "honor and glory" tactics of flying straight into Herald main guns are...[[EpicFail less than effective]]. It's [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Worf]], who considers honor to be fighting for the right cause rather than fighting in a particularly straightforward fashion, who launches a massive flanking attack against the Heralds' unprotected rear, eventually beating them back from Qo'noS.

Renamed some tropes.


* LargeHam: All Iconians, but especially [[LargeHamTitle Supreme High Lord Inevitably-Fated-for-Greatness]]. {{Lampshaded}} by multiple characters: in one case Eleya's communications officer just mutes him mid-speech and he keeps going in the background.

* NamedAfterTheirPlanet: Actually {{subverted}}. A Preserver refers to Eleya as an "Insh'alhalan" rather than a Bajoran, explained as the name the Bajorans used for themselves in ancient times before the nation of Bajora began to expand across the planet Bajor.

* RedShirt: Admiral Yarlin Dao is introduced as Eleya's former superior (he was the Commandant of Bajoran Militia Space Arm, then transferred to Starfleet when his home service was shut down), only to GoDownWithTheShip a page later.
