* PlasmaCannon: Sven's SIG-37 is a HandCannon with a true A.I. that can select various ammo types for Sven and aid in targeting enemies. Should an enemy prove too tough for its ballistic loadouts, the SIG-37 can fire its built-in Plasma Cannon at them. This plasma bolt can OneHitKill an armored gunship.

* SmartGun: Sven's SIG-37 is a HandCannon with a true A.I. that can select various ammo types for Sven, aid in targeting enemies and fire a built-in PlasmaCannon for harder targets. The SIG will also [[RobotBuddy offer conversation, tactical advice and whatnot]]. It also freaked out when it was given a poor paint job.

Finally pulling my head out of my ass and giving this series's page its proper title.

A MilitaryScienceFiction series by David Gunn.
Sven Tveskoeg is a super-powered AntiHero / PunchClockHero with a bad temper, working in an elite regiment of Emperor Octo V's army (the titular Death's Head). During a military campaign, Sven recruits "auxiliaries" from the regular army, which he turns into an elite squad.
Octo's glorious empire battles the Enlightened, watched by the United Free who drastically enforce UsefulNotes/TheLawsAndCustomsOfWar when they feel like it.
[[AC:Three books have been published so far:]]
* ''Death's Head''
* ''Maximum Offense''
* ''Day of the Damned''
----
!!This series provides examples of:
* TheAgeless: Octo V has been thirteen years old for centuries.
* AllCrimesAreEqual: Well, maybe not ''all'', but there are quite a lot of capital offenses in the Empire and the Enlightened.
* BlingOfWar: Played straight in various armies, subverted in the Empire's [[EliteMook Death's Head]].
* {{Cyborg}}: The Enlightened.
* DropPod: used in the first book.
* EmpathicWeapon: The SIG.
* TheEmperor: Octo V
* GlassWeapon: Glass knives. Their brittleness is a feature, so you can leave the blade inside your enemy's body. The first-person narrator mentions glass knives early in the second or third book. They can be bought by the dozen and the user can easily break the handle off after stabbing, making the blade hard to dislodge. The narrator contrasts them with his opponent's big rusty knife, "a poser's weapon".
* TheGoldenRule: In the third book: "Do unto others as they would do unto you. But do it first and harder."[[note]]Backtranslated from the French version[[/note]]
* HealingFactor: Sven's 1.8 percent of "something else".
* HonorBeforeReason: Well, not actually honor, but ''loyalty'' before reason: Sven fights ''very'' dirty, but once he has picked a side, he will just. never. leave. it.
* PenalColony: In the first book.
* PsychicPowers / {{Technopath}}: The Enlightened's biotechnology is centered about this. A few select citizens in the Empire have access to it, usually top servants of the Emperor, but it's a capital crime.
* TakingYouWithMe: Sven convinces [[spoiler:A whole artificial world]] to do that to an Enlightened ship in the second book.
* TokenEnemyMinority: Haze.
* WakeUpFighting: Sven's "first second rule" is that if it happens in the first second, you shouldn't fault the wakee for it.
* YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo: A deep part of book 3's plot in a nutshell. [[spoiler:The United Free]] pressured [[spoiler:Emperor Octo V]] into betraying [[spoiler:General Jaxx]], with the promise that violence would be limited to a few targeted assassinations. What happened instead was a reenactment of Saint Barthélémy.
