Added a bunch of new tropes to fill out the page.
* BioAugmentation: Genetic treatments exist, both of the "cure diseases and enhance longevity" varieties, and the "increase intelligence" variety.
* {{Cyborg}}: Most humans, and especially members of the military, have cybernetic augmentations, usually to either enhance strength and speed or to resist the heavy G-forces that occur in space combat. A common one also allows very slow telepathic radio communication, used mostly to communicate when overwhelmed by G-forces.

* GenderIsNoObject: For human spacers and marines, anyway. Mainstream Kuhsi society doesn't seem to agree. Oddly, it sounds uncomfortably close to JapaneseRanguage at times.

* InTheFutureHumansWillBeOneRace: Flip-Flopped, while the lore says that this is the case, most characters are more clearly part of a race, with Captain Debogande being unambiguously African, and Trace Thakur not only being South Asian, but specifically Nepali, that ethnicity somehow undiluted after 1,000 years in space.
* NonUniformUniform [[SpaceMarines Marines]] customize their PowerArmor with a wide variety of art/drawings, which serve the dual purpose of being expressive and allowing soldiers to easily recognize each other and officers without having to wear a badge of rank that might draw sniper fire.
* PowerArmor: The standard attire for most SpaceMarines.
* SpaceMarines: They feature heavily in the series, especially deuteragonist Major Trace Thakur. Notable, not all soldiers are space marines, with a regular army existing for holding ground on planets.

* UnusualDysphemism: The team refers to airgapped devices as "Autistic." Oddly, this is in defiance of the first time they use Autistic to refer to a machine, which meant that it payed more attention to received data than its own sensors, which would be the opposite of being airgapped.
