Alien Kudzu: The Ra'haam has supplanted all plant life on Octavia III's surface, and wishes to spread itself to all worlds. Oh, My Gods!: In the future, people invoke the "Maker". Expressions like "Maker's Breath" or sometimes "Maker's Bits!" are heard when someone is especially irritated or upset. Hazmat Suit: The squad dons these when exploring Octavia III. Cat is infected by the Ra'haam when her suit is torn open during a fight with a monster chimp. In an alternate future, Kal meets a Syldrathi girl called Lae. They get into an argument about family and Kal mentions that she has no idea what it means be part of a family like his. Lae's his niece. The Big Guy: Tanks serve this role in Aurora Legion squads. Kal is Squad 312's, and as a member of the Syldrathi Warbreed Cabal, he's good at what he does.

Tropes present in this series:

I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship: Tyler turned down Cat this way, and it's been something of a strain between them ever since. Reforged into a Minion: Cat, in the second book, becomes one of the GIA agents chasing Squad 312, thanks to the Ra'haam infecting her. Doomed Hometown: Syldra, the homeworld of the Syldrathi, was destroyed a year before the series begins. It May Help You on Your Quest: The gifts from Admiral Adams and Battle Leader de Stoy to the members of Squad 312 do not come with instructions and appear at first to just be nice trinkets. The gifts proved to be more useful than first met the eye.

Scarlett: (internally) Scarlett Isobel Jones is damn good at what she does. And what she does is People. [This man is] running on around four hours’ sleep. It’s been about six months since he was home, and he misses it. I can see one of his eyes is cybernetic, and from the blotching of veins on his nose, he likes a drink. Looking over his craggy face, his stance as he squares up to me, I can feel hostility. Disbelief. And a little bit of fear.

Touched by Vorlons: During her time in the Fold, Auri was modified by a device left behind by the Eshvaren to become the Trigger for a Weapon they created to use against the Ra'haam. The squad you love is out of time. Prepare for the thrilling finale in the epic, bestselling Aurora Cycle series about a band of unlikely heroes who just might be the galaxy's last hope for survival. Fling a Light into the Future: The Eshvaren have been gone for a million years, but they left behind devices in the Fold that turned both Auri and Caersan into Triggers, the Weapon which Caersan used to destroy Syldra, as well as seemingly-decorative artifacts like the statue containing the map of the Ra'haam's presence. The entire Squad would get together one day every year to rewatch the video Zila sent them from the past, and remember her, and all their past adventures. But as it turns out, not all endings are endings, and the team has one last chance to rewrite theirs. Maybe two. It’s complicated.
