* AmbiguousDisorder: In addition to having claustrophobia and agoraphobia, Antrot seems oddly calm in certain situations that he should have more of a reaction to, misses several social cues, and exhibits some other odd behavior. [[spoiler:Notably the fact that he actually closes the handcuffs Leia puts on him when the team is trying to escape the ''Shieldmadien'' because he thinks she actually forgot to do so indicates that he has a disorder that causes his thinking to be a little off]].
* ArcVillain: Captain Khione, the command of the Star Destroyer ''Shieldmaiden'', pursues Leia and her team throughout the novel.
* CanonImmigrant: Several Rebel officers from the ''Legends'' EU make their first canon appearance in this novel, including Admirals Nantz and Massa, and Generals Cracken, Veertag, and Tantor.
* TheChainsOfCommand: Leia is uncomfortable with the fact an entire Rebel task force is devoted to protecting her while she is not allowed to go on any missions, particularly after it takes casualties.
* DemolitionsExpert: Antrot, the Abednedo technician on Leia's team.
* GoodWithNumbers: Kidi, which is unsurprising for a Cerean comms specialist. Her skills also allows her to memorize all of the Alliances codes, which could be a bad thing when Lok points out that makes her a massive security risk if she ever gets captured by the Empire.
* HeroicSacrifice: Two of them:
** The first is by [[spoiler:Lokmarcha: after the team is captured by the ''Shieldmaiden'', he activates a [=EMP=] device hidden in his chest to knock out power to most of the Star Destroyer and disable all the nearby stormtroopers. Unfortunately, the activation process kills him]].
** The second is by [[spoiler:Antrot, who boards the ''Mellcrawler'' instead of the shuttle Leia, Nien, and Kidi steal in order to place it in a certain area of the ''Shieldmadien'''s docking bay so he can blow it, and the thousands of pounds of explosive fertilizer onboard, up and destroy the Star Destroyer]].
* MajorlyAwesome: Lokmarcha is one of the Alliance's top commandos and he kicks plenty of ass throughout the novel.
* NonActionGuy: Antrot has no weapons training or experience in combat situation, forcing the group to try and protect him in dangerous situations.
* NoodleIncident: Nien mentions that Wedge Antilles owes him a drink for saving him at Hagar Secundus, but never elaborates on what happened there.
* WhatTheHellHero: Kidi is not pleased with Leia or the Alliance when she learns that Operation: Yellow Moon is not actually about recruiting more ships and soldiers to the Alliance, but rather setting up a false trail for the Empire to follow to throw them off of the gathering Alliance fleet at Sullust while putting everyone who responds to the operations message in danger.
