* KillItWithFire: Fire is generally effective agaist the Hive, and is the ''only'' thing effective agaist Gluies. However, since space ships have limited oxygen supplies, it is very dangerous to the crews and only used as a weapon of last resort. Still, flame weapons are a major part of US Navy/USMC anti-Hive doctrine; the ''Merrimack'' is armed with ''battleship-grade'' flamethrowers (technically, hydrogen jets, giving them a range of about a mile). And in atmosphere they cut loose with it like all the hydrogen in the universe is about to disappear.

* DeadlyHazing: ''The Ninth Circle,'' kicks off with a cohort of [[SpaceRomans Palantinian]] recruits initiating a newbie by having him jump off a cliff. The trick is that a net will deploy to catch him halfway down, but the sensor that's supposed to trigger it was blocked by a pebble. Predictably, the poor kid lands on the rocks at near-terminal velocity. The cohort runs and tries to cover it up, rather than trying to get help/fess up. They're drummed out of not just the army, but ''society at large,'' because Palentine takes NoOneGetsLeftBehind ''very'' seriously. This leads to the disgraced cohort stealing a starship and becoming SpacePirates. [[spoiler:The dead recruit returns at the end as a Patterner, a {{Cyborg}} built (or, rather, rebuilt) to perform complex math very quickly for combat reasons, and takes them on as his command staff. It's implied that the device was deliberately sabotaged to provide a corpse to make a new Patterner out of, which can only be made from a soldier's body.]]
