* OurClonesAreDifferent: [[IncompetenceInc Stellar Firma Ltd]] makes vast use of clones, who exist in batches designated by a first name to signify the batch and their number. Said clones are [[BornAsAnAdult born fully grown]] with all their knowledge wired into their heads during the process as well as being programmed with unflinching BlindObedience to their superiors (even past the point of self-preservation), as they are used by the company as a disposable SlaveRace with the official policy being they are things not people. Likewise due to Stellar Firma's inheritance-based caste system, any failures by members of staff will result in the clones being liquified (with it being heavily implied this is where the [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies Slurry that everyone lives off comes from]]). Clones are likewise capable of developing incredible physical prowess incredibly quickly simply through regular exercise (handwaved as being down the same process that allows them to be born fully grown) although this is largely unknown. The series protagonist [[OnlySaneMan David-7]] is the only clone to be fully self-aware due to a malfunction during his creation and spends the series trying to say alive.

* CloningBlues: The source of the majority of David-7's suffering, as clones are a SlaveRace that aren't considered sentient. Enforced In-universe; when Trexel begins questioning whether or not the treatment of clones is ethical, a gun barrel unfolds from the wall until they openly denounce the idea and proclaim their loyalty.
