* CompleteMonster: ''Rika's Marauders'' novel ''Rika Redeemed'': Stavros is the dictator of a relatively small [[TheEmpire empire]] in the Praesepe Cluster called the Politica. He drove the Oranians off their homeworld onto another location deeper in the system, turning their home in exile into a VichyEarth in direct imitation of the ancient Romans and Nazis, something he says he's done elsewhere. He has also [[RestrainingBolt technologically]] and [[MindRape psychologically]] enslaved almost his entire military, including many combat {{cyborg}}s known as "mechs". In the book proper, when Silva, the mother of his heir by a one-night stand who was later turned into a mech, attempted to retrieve her daughter Amy, [[ParentalAbuse whom he beats]], he captured her and enslaved her as Amy's bodyguard/pet, using her compliance chip to force her never to reveal that she is Amy's mother while encouraging Amy to address her as "Meat", a FantasticSlur for mechs. When Rika, Silva's former subordinate, goes undercover in The Politica as a defector from her [[PrivateMilitaryContractors mercenary company]], Stavros insists on installing a compliance chip in her as well. Rika is immune, but in order to maintain her cover is forced to play along with Stavros using the chip to [[RapeAsDrama make her perform a sexual act on him]]. Leslie, one of Rika's teammates, is captured during the mission and chipped as well. When Rika finally initiates the plan to liberate the mechs and kill Stavros, he resorts to using his own daughter Amy as a HumanShield. While other villains in the franchise have significantly higher body counts, few approach Stavros for sheer personal vileness.

* ContinuityLockout: This has become a bit of a problem as the SharedUniverse has expanded and the side series interconnect with the main Tanis Richards novels. Newcomers to the series are generally recommended to start with the ''Intrepid Saga'' trilogy, and then read the semi-standalone novel ''Destiny Lost'' that bridges the franchise's two primary time periods (the 5th and 9th Millennia) and introduces Sera Tomlinson and the crew of ''Sabrina''.
