Added DiffLines:

* NavalBlockade : InSpace. The Onager got stuck on the other side of the blockade and can't get help or resources, thus they couldn't afford to let the only doctor they had leave.
* MildlyMilitary : Being on the other side of the blockade makes it difficult to keep to military standards, and necessitates some allowances. Julian ended up the chief medical officer due to being the only medical officer the Onager had.


Added DiffLines:

* PretextForWar : Julian's abduction was intended to be this, though when it failed to work another incident was arranged

!!Provides Examples Of:

* AFatherToHisMen: Mateo is protective of his crew and compassionate toward Julian
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe : Julian may not have much of an opinion on the greater conflict, but he makes it clear his loyalty lies with Captain Mateo. Mateo returns the sentiment by being willing to cross several lines to protect Julian.
* BecomingTheMask : Played with. Julian becomes loyal to Palindor and to the crew, and his feelings for Kyle become complicated, but he never stops thinking of himself as Julian rather than Jakob.
* DefectorFromDecadence : Julian came from a life of luxury, and could have been quite indolent had he chosen.
* EasilyForgiven : Mateo is quick to forgive [[spoiler: Julian upon learning Julian was spying]]
* OddFriendship : Julian and Anson almost from the beginning. Julian is an avowed pacifist, and Anson is a career soldier on the opposite side.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure : Admiral Vendral takes matters very well and treats the enemy forces under his command with the same care and respect as he does his own men.
* RefugeInAudacity : Julian gets by guards by simply acting like a high-strung noble and walking right past
* SecretIdentity : Julian Vendral as Jakob Narel.
* ShipperOnDeck : Jerin makes no secret of the fact he approves of [[spoiler: Anson and Julian]]
* TokenEvilTeammate : Kyle, though it takes some time before most of the crew learn he is evil
