Antony444's Let The Galaxy Burn is an A Song of Ice and Fire fanfiction that deals with what would have happened if Robert died in the Battle of the Trident at the hands of Randyll Tarly... only that, instead of the Seven Kingdoms' fate being changed, it is the Seven Sectors of the Westeros Quadrant. Yes, this is A Song of Ice and Fire IN SPACE!.Sent reeling after the severe defeat and the loss of the leader of the Rebellion, the North and the Vale Sectors are forced to retreat, but they are not yet out of the fight, and neither Targaryens nor Lannisters are in a position to take advantage of their victory. While a Lannister assault against the Northern-occupied Twins goes pear-shaped, King's Landing is the home of high-level intrigues between multiple factions that could (and will) cause many, many problems down the river, and threats from beyond the stars begin to enter the Seven Sectors completely unnoticed...You may also read the Story Only version here or the Fanfiction Dot Net version here. | |

Miles Gloriosus: In the South, men (and only men) are made generals mainly on the importance of their house. This has led to a lot of self important generals with no experience, intelligence, or talent in war or leading men. | |

Standard Sci-Fi Fleet | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_15d6b534 | comment |
Standard Sci-Fi Fleet: For the most part, played straight. There are some unique ships, such as the Ironborn longships or the Reach's septshipsnote A sept is a church. Think Warhammer 40k, but replacing skulls and crosses with seven-pointed stars. The author even used a picture of an Imperial battleship as a guideline for what the Reach ships looked like, and it's made clear that different regions and nations have different design philosophies, such as the North having smaller bridges located in the center of the ship behind tons of armour, and no windows on their warships, while most of Westeros has large bridges with elevated captain's chairs and windows that are closer to something like Star Wars or Star Trek. | |

Gone Horribly Right: The Crown decided to have Renly be "fostered" at the Reach, both to use him as a hostage against Stannis and to "train" him in case they decide to have a more pliable Lord of Storm's End. In the end, they turn Renly into such a Jerkass that, when Stannis realizes Renly would gleefully see the Reach attack him, he decides to rebel, since he has no reason to keep Renly safe. | |

Underestimating Badassery | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_1a8dc238 | comment |
Underestimating Badassery: The nobles in the South typically dismiss the Northerners as "barbarians" using outdated technology. In truth, the North's technology seems to be better than that of the South, being plagued with fewer problems and better designed; and their officers and soldiers are better trained. In the Greyjoy Rebellion, the Ironborn all underestimated the "greenlanders", believing them to be weak cowards. This is most evident in the Battle of the Arbor where Urrigon Greyjoy is genuinely surprised that the defending forces have an effective coordinated response to the Ironborn instead of fleeing or surrendering. | |

When he finally leaves King's Landing, Varys sets up the assassination of the entire small council. He gets everyone but Baelish. | |

The Stoic | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_1c5002bc | comment |
Stannis is The Stoic, hard-working, loves his family (even Renly, to a degreenote He finds it painful to see the idiot the Reach has turned him into, and the Tyrells and Conningtons using him as leverage to force Stannis to go along with every unreasonable demand they come up with has left him hating them more than he ever thought possible), and does his best to help his people, encouraging austerity to help them through the economic difficulties brought on by the Targaryens and leading by example by also adopting an austere lifestyle (though he wasn't exactly known for his extravagance beforehand). His children are similar, if not as stoic. He has accepted the offers of every Targaryen claimant that has come to him requesting his aid in overthrowing Rhaegar. He plans to betray them all, and his children are fully on board with this. Exaggerated once he actually takes the home system of Jon Connington. Every single current or former member of the systems military, nobility or those who swore any kind of oath to Connington are killed or sent to the Wall, and the planets technological infrastructure is taken away to reduce them to agrarian labor. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Rhaegar Targaryen gets this most of all. While in canon he was the “Prince that was Promised” and The Wise Prince who was admired yet remained a Broken Base. Here he is a petty, violent, prophecy-obsessed nut job with extreme Disproportionate Retribution towards anything that insults his power. Virtually no one outside his most loyal followers like him, and every faction in the 7 kingdoms is actively planning to put him out of power. Arthur Dayne gets this as he was a Knight in Shining Armor who was widely respected by the kingdoms for his wisdom and prudence after Rhaegar himself. Here his Just Following Orders attitude is widely reviled by both the North and Dorne (both of which are gunning for him) with no one respecting him for willfully murdering his sister and helping Rhaegar rape Lyanna. Minor example for Balon Greyjoy. While he never good in the slightest in canon, the one redeeming feature Balon had was that he loved his daughter and planned to make her his heir. Which in itself contradicted the Old Way of the Ironborn. Here he’s just as sexist as the other Ironborn, and sneers at the thought of her as his heir. The Tyrells get this a lot in comparison to canon. Mace Tyrell was ambitious and foolish in canon, but he loved his family and would do anything to protect them. Here he’s far more interested in pleasing Rhaegar and is far less concerned about his family here. Rather than being sweet yet cunning, Margaery is an Alpha Bitch, less charming than her canon self. As a whole they are far less scrupulous with their vassals, giving no credit to the Tarlys, undermining the very house that won them the war. In canon, Jorah Mormont was exiled from Westeros when, after several years of marriage, he let the demands of his wife, Lynesse Hightower, drive him to committing crimes for additional money. In this story, Jorah let himself get seduced by Lynesse during their first meeting into committing outright treason by spying on the North for the Targaryens, who any good Northman has every reason to hate. Guthor Grimm might not have been a perfect leader in the novels but his decision to surrender his island after the Ironborn defeated his champions isn't portrayed as entirely unreasonably. Here he is portrayed as a complete General Failure who blatantly ignores official orders to be on the readiness against the Ironborn and blames all of his failures on his cousin who died fighting the Ironborn while Lord Grimm cowered behind the lines. | |

Adaptation Expansion: The Old Gods are significantly different, and more active, in this story: For starters, they are named, whereas in the books it was a specific part of the religion that the Old Gods had no names, setting them apart from the Seven. They also have an actual priesthoodnote Possibly multiple, one per each god., as well as religious military orders. Said priests are able to call upon the power of the Old Gods to fight an Other that Euron accidentally summons during the battle of Pyke | |

Only Sane Man | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_24321e44 | comment |
Only Sane Man: Euron thinks he's this, but he is bat shit insane. Rodrik Harlaw (as usual) actually fills this role for the Ironborn. Viserys serves as this for the elder Targaryen males. After Operation Dalton, Paxter Redwyne references this when saying that three of the four Shield Island lords are utterly untrustworthy idiots who would get into a ramming contest if left alone. Interestingly, it's unclear if he feels that the sane one is Lord Serry (who inflicted a massive Curb-Stomp Battle against the Ironborn but did so by using weapons purchased from political enemies of the Tyrells), or Lord Chester (whose performance in the battle isn't touched on much, but who apparently repelled them through more conventional tactics without any of the embarrassing failures experienced by Lords Hewett or Grimm). If Paxter meant Chester though, then the readers would likely disagree about him being the only sane one. Varys finds himself to be this on the Small Council, to his great frustration: he's supposed to be undermining the realm so that it will be vulnerable for the next Blackfyre Rebellion, only to have to spend all his time keeping Westeros functioning despite the incompetence of his King and fellow councilmen so that it will survive long enough for the Blackfyres to be ready to attack. | |

Prophetic Fallacy | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_256eaa53 | comment |
Prophetic Fallacy: One of the issues with Rhaegar's obsession with prophecy is that he seems blind to this trope, to the point that he ends up blindsided by the second Stark rebellion solely because he fails to consider that the relevant prophecy only says what signs to look out for, not that he'll necessarily know they've happened without more mundane means of gathering intelligence. | |

Generation Xerox: Arya is said to be Lyanna's close copy - much like in canon. Rhaenys looks a lot like Elia Martell did at age twenty. In his last moments, Rhaegar is noted to look and behave a lot like his father Aerys. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The winner of the Rebellion is forced to marry Cersei Lannister because of her father's support at a critical point. The Lannisters, famous in the books for having drowned the Reynes in their underground castle, are said to have most of their military bases (or at least, their parade grounds) underground. Someone brings the regards of another to the man they are going to kill. In this case, Sansa Stark brings her father's regards to Rhaegar Targaryen. Aegon threatens to plunge Viserys in a sea of molten gold after Viserys takes over the Iron Throne. In the evacuation of Great Wyk, Cleganebowl happens amidst large-scale death and destruction, albeit Sandor has the aid of Colonel Sarring and an entire Battalion of infantry to kill Gregor Clegane. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Eddard Stark had a daughter out of (unintended) wedlock with Ashara Dayne. This prompted the Targaryen propaganda to paint Eddard Stark as a man that would sleep with (and/or rape) any noble woman in his path. Lord Manderly lampshades the hypocrisy. | |

Inadequate Inheritor | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_2a6bf668 | comment |
Inadequate Inheritor: Robin Arryn for Jon. Enough, that many Vale Lords (considered among the most patriarchal in all of Westeros) would readily support Jon's daughter Alysanne. Many Southern heirs, according to those who are actually competent. Lucerys Velaryon was a skilled and brave Fleet Admiral and Master of Ships. His successor is not. | |

Break the Haughty | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_2af6bbeb | comment |
Break the Haughty: At the end of the Greyjoy Rebellion, Victorian has been castrated in battle by an opponent he viewed contempteously, trapped aboard an isolated broken down ship, hears that his brother has been killed, and then spends years waiting for more Ironborn to rally to his fleet of reaver remnants only for hardly any to do so. Jaecaerys Velaryon, Alex Langward and Theon Greyjoy go from smug, self-assured Aegon toadies to horrified, self-loathing and downcast as they see Aegon's madness reach its peak and watch him massacre so much of the population of King's Landing and engage in dark sorcery. Mace Tyrell is described as having a wild and confused behavior after Dorne destroys his grand fleet and is poised to capture him. Margaery Tyrelll (and a good part of the Reach Nobles) once they get to meet Aegon up close and see Tywin, Rhaenys and Stannis tearing through the Reach. Robin Arryn, once his fleet is destroyed, his mother is sent to the Silent Sisters and he's dragged before his very unmerciful father and sister. | |

Ramming Always Works | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_3114c1e5 | comment |
Ramming Always Works: Averted. A badly damaged Reach battlecruiser that attempts to ram into Rodrick Greyjoy's ship is easily destroyed, with all the bridge crew on Rodrick's ship being shocked that anyone would try something so stupid. Rodrick himself notes the reasons why this is a bad idea: A) It's actually quite hard to maneuver a starship, especially a large one, to ram into another starship, especially if the other one is still able to move. B) Ramming does not result in the rammed ship being destroyed and the ramming ship surviving. It results in both ships being destroyed, and because of how expensive warships are, especially large ships like a battlecruiser, any damaged ship that is still able to maneuver enough to ram another ship is intact enough that it would be better served to retreat and repair the ship. Played Straight and justified in Part A of Chapter 1 of the Ten Warlords arc: The Dornish ship doing the ramming is a converted old merchant ship that is meant to be disposable and has been sent on what is meant as a suicide mission. The target is a naval shipyard. Unlike in most examples, the target is large and can't move, and the cost to the Dornish is far less than the cost to the Reach. Victarion also does a justifiable example by using barely functional ships crewed by wights, which are totally expendable. | |

Critical Staffing Shortage | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_31f9cec9 | comment |
Corwin Musgood, Axell Florent and Lynn Corbray are all assigned garrison duties in the Iron Islands in a specifically uncomplimentary way. Musgood is given far too few men and resources to adequately garrison a system which really would be under the authority of one of the other military governors, and suffers this fate largely just as a way for Rheager to make it clear to Jon Connignton that he is out of favor. Axell and Lynn are considered untrustworthy by both their lord paramounts and the head of their house and at risk of committing Inheritance Murder's if they remain in the Reach and the Vale respectively. | |

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_33b4e7f | comment |
Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: A number of Southern nobles and knights refuse to wear helmets in ground combat on this basis. It gets them killed, with Janos Slynt's POV sections making this especially blatantnote His cheap helmet saves his life in an attack that killed most of his men, and he makes sure to find a replacement after he ditches it because it was badly damaged. On the other hand, the poorly armed and armoured Goldcloaks easily kill a far better armoured Goldfist knight because he wasn't wearing a helmet. Loras Tyrell struts into Storm's End in impeccably shiny (and downright gaudy) Terminator armor, with no helmet. In fact he didn't even bring it. Stannis notes that as such, the protection the armor provides is minimal. Further averted and lampshaded in Part B of Chapter 1 of the Ten Warlords arc: Gerion's men manage to take a White Cloak down in one shot because he wasn't wearing his helmet. Shiera's immediate reaction is "He should have worn his helmet" Taken to its maximum during the Epilogue of the Ten Warlords arc: Aegon takes off his helmet in the middle of the battle - and an enemy promptly shoots him in the neck, nearly killing him. | |

Varys getting his revenge on the Small Council when he departs, nothing this isn't entirely necessary but he feels they deserve it after the decades of corruption and mismanagement he's witnessed.

Adapted Out | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: Due to Randyll Tarly dying at the Trident, Talla, Dickon and the other two daughters of House Tarly do not appear, leaving Sam an only child and the lord of Horn Hill. With Robert Baratheon dying there as well, the only (significant) one of his bastards probably having still been born is Mya Stone. Daenaerys has never met (let alone married) Khal Drogo yet, retconning their son Rhaego out of existence. Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey's child is never conceived here, and its doubtful that they ever meet before Edmure is sent to the Wall. Many of the younger Freys due to their parents changed position at the end of Robert's Rebellion, including: Arwyn, Wendel, Colmar, Waltyr, Elmar and Shirei (children of Lord Walder, who died in the rebellion here), Sandor and Cynthea (children of Geremy Frey, who was sent to the Wall), Perra (daughter of Petyr Frey, who became a Maester here while his wife from the original timeline married Littlefinger), Ryella, Andrew, Alyn and Hostella (their mother married Stannis instead of Arwood Frey here), Osmund and Deaf Della (children of Benfrey, who was murdered by Emmon during the Time Skip for supposedly threatening his lordship), and Sarra, Serra, Cersei, Jamie and Tywin (the younger children of Raymund Frey, who was sent to the wall). Craster is killed four years earlier than he was in the original timeline, preventing the birth of several of his youngest children, including Gilly's baby. | |

Batman Gambit: Balon's rebellion hinges on the fact that Rhaegar is incredibly unpopular in many of the Seven Sectors, and assumes that if he starts the war, the systems that rebelled in the Great Uprising will also rise up again, allowing them all to defeat the Westerosi fleet. Unfortunately, he didn't think to send envoys to find out whether or not the people he was counting on to rise up with him were ready to start another war or willing to ally with him until after he had started the rebellion, when it turned out that the answer to both questions was no. | |

Properly Paranoid: Aware of the dangers of being sent to Dorne, Jamie Lannister elects not to take his ship (with a loyal hard working crew), but the available ship with the lowest performance record. That way, if it gets destroyed it won't harm House Lannister. He was right to, fourteen men die in various "accidents" before the Dornish simply blow up the whole ship. Lord Arryn prevented the Vale forces that fought against him in Robert's Rebellion from having war games with each other or those that stayed loyal to him. This means that when they turn against him again, they have no idea how to coordinate their forces, or move against him. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: The Prologue makes it clear that a second Dance of Dragons is going to tear the Seven Kingdoms asunder between most of Rhaegar's children and Daenerys. Rhaenys' plans will fail, as she's known as the "Second Queen Who Never Was". Aegon has to survive long enough to end up in a fight against the Others. Double Subverted with Barristan Selmy and Arthur Dayne. Sam, the initial narrator, indicates he has met them both during the war, only for them to die to the Northern commandos that kill Rhaegar - and then they are resurrected by Melisandre. Given that some passages are written decades after the events of the story, it seems almost certain that humanity will survive the Second Long Night. How many of our favorite characters make it out alive remains to be seen. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_3d699462 | comment |
After Operation Dalton, Paxter Redwyne references this when saying that three of the four Shield Island lords are utterly untrustworthy idiots who would get into a ramming contest if left alone. Interestingly, it's unclear if he feels that the sane one is Lord Serry (who inflicted a massive Curb-Stomp Battle against the Ironborn but did so by using weapons purchased from political enemies of the Tyrells), or Lord Chester (whose performance in the battle isn't touched on much, but who apparently repelled them through more conventional tactics without any of the embarrassing failures experienced by Lords Hewett or Grimm). If Paxter meant Chester though, then the readers would likely disagree about him being the only sane one. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Janos Slynt. In his first scene, he demonstrates great bravery during the Battle of King's Landing. He also clearly cares for his men, save for the one guy in his squad that is a horrible person who is also the only survivor of the squad and desert during the battle. In his second, while he is shown to be corrupt, it's made clear that he (and most of the Goldcloaks) only does it because their salary is not enough to support their families. He clearly loves his family, and works hard to ensure his children have the education he never got. He is later shown legitimately complimenting one of his men for how much his reading has improved over the last month and becomes disgusted by how far the decadence and corruption of the highborn and the Iron Throne has gone, leading the Goldcloaks in rebellion against Rhaegar Targaryen. In the Epilogue to the War of the Ten Warlords Arc, he achieves a Dying Moment of Awesome by shooting Aegon in the neck before getting killed himself. Viserys. He launches a coup from Dragonstone, seizes King's Landing, crowns himself King Viserys III, and does his best to fix the dilapidated Crownlands with much-needed reforms and repairs until beaten back by Aegon. Roose Bolton never betrays the Stark's here (although perhaps simply because he never has an opportunity to), sends Ramsay off to the wall for his crimes, and dies fighting the first wave of Others. | |

Ungrateful Bastard | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_3fe2b13f | comment |
Ungrateful Bastard: House Tyrell towards House Tarly. Without Randyll Tarly's suicidal attack against Robert, the Tyrells would have ended up in the losing side of Robert's Rebellion. All they did was to dedicate him a statue and a few streets - and then proceeded to hoard every piece of loot and pushing the Tarlys (and many others) to the sidelines. House Targaryen towards House Lannisters. The former owes its continued hold on power to the latter's sudden intervention in Robert's Rebellion. The only things Rhaegar did to favor them was to marry Cersei and grant the Lannisters a few positions in the Small Council - his policies soon became akin to what his father had been doing. The Lannisters towards the survivors of the Battle of Bridge's Edge. After resisting for months in a planet where they were stuck in after being abandoned by their superiors - an attitude that earned them the respect of the Northern troops hunting them - they return to find themselves at half-pay, or even drummed out of the Western Army, because they were associated with a humiliating defeat the Lannisters would like to erase from the books. Ayric Sarring even finds himself shunned by his family and is lucky to find himself a job as a customs inspector. Countless minor lords who served the Targaryens and their lackeys loyally in both Rebellions were "rewarded" with being put in charge of far flung garrisons, in several cases ones that their personal fleets simply can't handle, resulting in them wasting away. | |

As for Lyanna, she gave birth to twin girls, Baela and Visenya, who are not bastards because Lyanna Stark, having been raised in the North to worship the Old Gods, definitely agreed to marry Rhaegar before the New Gods, and they can prove it because at least two Kingsguards, who are completely impartial third parties, signed a statement saying she had definitely agreed to this. Please ignore Rhaegar's scars. | |

Hidden in Plain Sight | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_41a3e267 | comment |
Hidden in Plain Sight: The North wanted to build new ships, and knew that Rhaegar would be watching, so they fed him rumours about a secret shipyard and let his paranoia lead him to order spies to seek the secret shipyard - while the North just expanded the shipyards they already had. | |

Zerg Rush | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_41dd77d | comment |
Zerg Rush: Against the White Walker navy, one of the few tactics available to the Free Folk is to drown them in so many numbers that the survivors can do the killing. In the Battle of Saltcliffe, Victarion Greyjoy chooses to raise the dead and throw them by millions against Fort Forlorn. Even then, he has to raise a dead kraken so the wights can enter the fortress. | |

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Ayric Sarring is ordered to evacuate as many soldiers as possible from Great Wyk, so that they may be used in the war in the Reach. When he and his men see what Gregor Clegane and his men have done to the planet and the people, they are so appalled that they decide to only save the soldiers that didn't participate in the planetary-genocide and as many Iron Born civilians as possible - and that they must kill Gregor Clegane. | |

Xanatos Speed Chess | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_447d9e50 | comment |
Xanatos Speed Chess: Everyone has to do a lot of planning on the fly as the War of the Ten Warlords progress, due to having failed to consider things like the dark magic in the Iron Sector or the sheer incompetence of Rhaegar and Aegon's loyalists. Word of God explicitly notes that mere months, if not weeks, into the conflict the pre-war plans of every faction aren't worth the paper they were written on. Western commander Addam Marbrand stands out as one of the characters best at improvising; before the beginning of hostilities he displays a multi-tiered and ambitious plan to take out the Riverlands and Reach ships, then scrambles to (decently) modify it when Dorne's attacks on the Reach eliminate the chance of them charging to put down any insurrection in the Riverlands. Tyrion approvingly notes that Addam is good at immediately adapting to the circumstances (albeit with visible frustration), while many westerners "would defend their strategies for one or two months before realizing events had overtaken them." | |

Worthy Opponent | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_4604fd4d | comment |
Worthy Opponent: The Lannister forces that were abandoned on Bridge's Edge and continued to resist earned the respect of their Northern opponents. Unfortunately, all of them ended up being docked to half pay when they returned because of their association to an ignominious defeat. The White Walker that attacks Euron Greyjoy remarks this of the Green Priest that forces her to leave. Lord Grafton stoically accepts how greatly Rhaenyra outmatched him, as her missiles race towards him and simply curiously wonders how she'll do against Jon Arryn as he watches his son and the other survivors of his fleet flee. | |

Starship Luxurious | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_46bcebfd | comment |
Starship Luxurious: Downplayed, but somewhat present, and help display the difference between the luxurious, aristocratic South and the pragmatic, meritocratic North. The bridges on warships in Westeros built outside of the North are shown to be large, with windows to allow the captain to look out into space from hisnote Because only the North and Dorne allow women to fight chair mounted in the center, with the control consoles along the sides, beneath him, so that anyone wanting to talk to him has to cross the room and look up to him. Bridges on Northern warships have no windows (in fact, Northern warships have no windows whatsoever), are small, don't have elevated captain's chairs, tactical displays and computer screens everywhere, and are placed in the center of the ship, surrounded by tons of armour, so that a single shot won't wipe out all of commandnote Well, it could, but if anything powerful enough to do that hit a ship, it would probably be doomed regardless of where the bridge is. Basically, the South is closer to Star Trek and Star Wars, while the North's bridges are closer to a modern warship. | |

Death by Adaptation | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_48c99e19 | comment |
Death by Adaptation: Robert Baratheon, Randyll Tarly, Hoster Tully and Alester Florent die during Robert's Rebellion. Most of House Frey is killed when the North takes the Twins, with Ned personally executing Walder. Later on, most of the survivors are killed in the early stages of the War of the Ten Warlords. Aeron Greyjoy dies when his spaceship explodes mid-battle. Balon Greyjoy gets thoroughly smashed by the Beast. Arys Oakheart dies when the Northern commandos activate the bomb in the war room he's in. Jon Connington is killed by a shadow-demon conjured by Tysha Lannister. Rolland Storm's ship is lost with all hands when Dorne launches it's attack on the Stormlands. Karyl Vance and many of his relatives are killed when the Westerlanders first attack the Riverlands. Roose and Ramsay Bolton die during the Others first assault on the wall, 300 AC. Justin Massey gets a Heroic Sacrifice during the second battle Of Kings Landing. Mathis Rowan is killed when Aegon's fleet takes losses while assaulting King's Landing. Lyn Corbray and Donnor Saltcliffe are killed by a nuclear bomb and a wight assault respectively during the Mêlée à Trois on Saltcliffe, with practically the entire population of the planet sharing their fate. Littlefinger is executed by the Arryn's after one betrayal too many, with Eustace and Harlan Hunter sharing his fate. Mark Mullendore, Theodore Tyrell, Steffon Varner and one of the Redwyne Twins are among those killed during the Harvest Graveyard. Gyles Rosby. is blown up by the seven sparrows before he can die from his health problems. Alliser Thorne is presumed dead in Varys purge. Desmond Redwyne is on the receiving end of a Curb-Stomp Battle once Victorian's fleet reaches Pyke, and dies early on in it. Victarion Greyjoy is possessed by a wight artefact, and then killed while fighting a raiding party led by Ayric, Asha and Sandor. Lord Grafton, Daemon Shett, Morton Waynwood, Jon Lynderly and many other Vale loyalists are slaughtered by Rhaenyra's fleet during the Battle of Gulltown. Craster is killed by his fellow Free Folk well before the story begins for sacrificing people to the White Walkers. | |

Death World | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_63557923 | comment |
Death World: Moat Cailin. It is covered entirely by swamp, contains tons of vicious crocodiles, alligators, lizard-lions, a massive number of different types of extremely venomous snakes, tons of plants that release pollen that is lethal to breath in, more diseases than you can even conceive and a number of massive fortresses, all crewed by the crannogmen. It also has ancient machinery that pulls any warships in orbit to their deaths, preventing Orbital Bombardment note Normally, if someone takes control of the space around a planet, they pretty much control it, since any large concentrations of enemy troops that don't surrender can just be bombarded from orbit , meaning anyone wanting to take the planet has to land troops. Wyman Manderly notes that, if one were writing a dictionary in Westeros, you could simply define the term "death world" as Moat Cailin. For example, 2000 years before Aegon's Conquest, King Theon Stark goaded the Faith into launching a crusade through Moat Cailin, and they landed close to a quarter of a million men. In less than a month, that number was reduced to a few hundreds of starved and deathly ill survivors of illness, beasts and futile attacks on the fortresses. And then the Starks attacked. While not as lethal as Moat Cailin, Storm's End could also qualify. Bereft of many resources after being exploited to the bone for hundreds of years, their water has to be distilled and their air filtered to prevent precocious cancers. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: The 7,000 brothers of Night's Watch's Flotilla 805 step forward and attack the White Walkers' fleet trying to kill the wildlings' Exodus Fleet (numbering more than three billion people), allowing the latter to escape at the cost of their own lives. Urrigon Greyjoy enacts a ritual to strike at his brother Victarion, allowing the combined Reach-Western-Iron forces to kill him despite his being empowered by the Others. This results in his death. | |

Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death! | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_6f546e9f | comment |
Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!: Outright said by Brienne of Tarth, knowing that the Storm Sector is nearly bankrupt and that they're going to get thrashed no matter who ends up ruling because it's no better than continued rule by the Targaryens and Conningtons. They will fight tooth and nail for freedom or die trying. The Iron Sector has adopted this mindset since the end of the Greyjoy Rebellion. Most especially the worlds under the Beast's responsibility. The eventual mass rebellion there is done by people who are unarmed, unarmored, and starving, and they still charge the enemy unwilling to live like that any more. | |

Adaptation Personality Change | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_6fbe85e6 | comment |
Adaptation Personality Change: While still Axe-Crazy, Gregor Clegane has gone from The Mountain Who Rides to The Beast. Many of the Southern heirs who are Upper Class Twits regardless of personality in the books, due to being raised in the court. Viserys is actually sane, quite intelligent, and is a far better person than his brother and some of his nephews. He recognizes just how badly his brother has ruled, how corrupt his brother's supporters are, he wants to take the throne, but plans on reforming the Seven Kingdoms to get rid of the corruption and stupidity, and he refuses to follow the orders to try and capture Joffrey, Shiera, and Daeron, the first because he is well aware that he is out of reach, the other two because all they can really do is shoot their ships and he has little interest in making Tywin his enemy and Joffrey hate them even more, and he decides that trying to restore order to King's Landing while his brother does nothing is far more important. Joffrey's core personality appears to be the same, but as he isn't the Crown Prince and Cersei has been less able to indulge him, he is in possession of greater self-control and awareness. Some of this might be due to Aegon picking up some of Joffrey's canon bad traits. He also bothers to send people to keep his brother and sister safe upon deciding to openly move against Rhaegar, is surprisingly tolerant of and impressed by the rival system of Braavos, and actually takes notice of how wasteful some of Tywin's policies are to the common soldier, all of which would have been utterly alien to the original Joffrey. In the novels, Lord Celtigar is an Upper-Class Twit and Professional Butt-Kisser whose courage and loyalty are put into serious question after he surrenders following the battle of the Blackwater. In this fic he’s one of Viserys's most brave, loyal and trusted allies, a highly respected Naval leader, dedicated proponent of reform, and an Honest Advisor. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Sansa Stark is a captain in the North's armed forces who leads an infiltration team into King's Landing in the middle of Viserys' coup against Rhaegar, and proceeds to vaporize Ser Barristan Selmy with a bomb, capture Ser Arthur Dayne and kill him with a dagger, and put the cap on it by killing Rhaegar Targaryen. While Waymar Royce did die bravely fighting a white walker in canon, he failed to kill it. Here, he's commanding a flotilla that kills millions of White walkers while keeping them from claiming billions, if not trillions, of Free Folk lives. Instead of being a barely-stable Jerkass whose efforts lead to a quick death, Viserys is a capable commander, planning and leading an effective rebellion and then defending his territory from a counterattack. Alester Florent is a Non-Action Guy and Upper-Class Twit in the books whose good moments mostly come when being compared to his Jerkass brother, but here he went against the Tyrells to be a major innovator of the Longbow Missile system (which could have revolutionized space warfare if it hadn't been ignored out of greed) and died fighting Wyman Manderly during the Battle of the Trident, with Wyman (who he injured first) saying that he died well. In the novels, Lord Osbert Serry but up some fight against the Ironborn before abandoning his island and running. Here he's a braver man who utterly wipes the floor with them (although granted, that was because he'd bought the game-changing Longbow Missile Network in defiance of the Tyrells). Lord Celtigar being grave and competent at all would be a deviation from the books but he manages to be very grave and competent. | |

| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_740f59b4 | comment |
Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The loyalist forces from the River sector had to repaint their armour to distinguish themselves from the rebels. However, they never actually agreed on what colour to use, so the result is that each loyalist River lord painted their forces using a different colour scheme. To paraphrase Kevan Lannister, the result of having all of these forces standing on parade together is strange, to say the least. | |

Spared by the Adaptation | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: The access to advanced medicine and bodyguards prevents Robin and Urrigon Greyjoy's deaths. Robin dies in the Greyjoy Rebellion, though. Rhaegar Targaryen, obviously. Until Sansa kills him when the War of the Ten Warlords breaks out. Rhaenys and (assuming the Blackfyre imposter theory in canon is true) Aegon are never killed in the Rebellion. Gerold Hightower, Arthur Dayne and Oswell Whent remain alive since Eddard Stark never had the chance to go rescue his sister. Gerold Hightower dies during the Greyjoy Rebellion to Euron Greyjoy, Oswell Whent is killed by Ayric Sarring in the aftermath of Varys leaving King's Landing, and Arthur Dayne is killed by Sansa Stark in the aftermath but later resurrected. As of 300AC, Jon Arryn and Eddard Stark are still alive. Joffrey gets to outlive Tywin in this version. Oberyn outlives Gregor Clegane. The Great Ranging is never undertaken, saving (or at least prolonging) the lives or Mormont and many others who died on it. Houses Darry and Whent have survived past the points they did in cannon, although some fans are sceptical about their long-term survival. Viserys Targaryen is never killed across the Narrow Sea and due to the weakness shown by the forces who'd been attacking him looks likely to survive a fair while longer. Kingsguard Preston Greenfield remains alive and at Joffrey's side well past the point he was killed by a rioting mob in the second book. Due to the Battle of the Blackwater never happening, none of Davos's sons died there. Renly Baratheon was alive and fleeing to Highgarden when last seen. Given how Euron is serving on the Wall, it looks very unlikely that he'll end up killing Sawane Botley or Baelor Blacktyde (which isn't to say that there aren't other dangerous forces in the Iron Sector they'll have to contend with). Domeric Bolton, a Posthumous Character in the books, is alive and well here, even outliving his father and half-brother. Rodrik, Jory and even Martyn (considering there was never a Battle at the Tower of Joy) Cassell are all still alive. Due to the decision to negotiate with the Free Folk instead of fighting them when they try to cross the Wall, Ygritte, Mag the Mighty, and all the other wildlings who would have died in those conflicts remain alive. As of 300 AC, prominent Northern nobles Dacey Mormont, Wendel Manderly, Eddard and Torrhen Karstark, Medgar and Cley Cerwyn, Smalljon Umber, Halys and Daryn Hornwood, and Helman, Leobold and Benfred Tallhart all remain alive due to the battles they would have died in never happening. | |

Turns out, there are nine Abominable Relics, and the Three Eyed Crow lists the other ones as: the Horn of Winter, the Night’s Queen Crown, the Ring of Domination, the Mirror-Orb of Cursed Knowledge, the Armor of Damnation, the Keys of the Void, and the Grave of Unlife. The ninth one is unknown, but it is "not exactly... transportable". Victarion Greyjoy finds the Ring, using it definitely affects his mind but gives him the power to raise and control wights. The Mirror-Orb makes its way to Sothoryos, where it kickstarts a civil war. | |

The only reason the North is starting to have trouble keeping track of them isn't due to an increase in security or competence, but simply because they don't have enough spies to deal with the huge amount of "secret" projects King's Landing has. | |

Doran Martell's complete lack of willingness to act causes much of Dorne to instead turn to the more active and willing to take revenge Oberyn for leadership. Oberyn points out to Doran that all his planning and keeping to himself have led to people being less familiar with him than they are with the rest of the Martells. The resolve of the Vale loyalists at Gulltown is broken when they see the man they've rallied to fight for, Robin Arryn, fleeing in terror without even trying to help them as the battle wages on. One of Joffrey's earliest major scenes has him declaring that he's going back home so Tywin can teach him how to rule. Instead, Tywin sidelines Joffrey, showing him no respect and making decision after decision that Joffrey finds morally and tactically unsound. | |

Refusal of the Call: Ayric Sarring and Ralf Presten tell the Three-Eyed Crow during their encounter at Bridge's Edge that they are not heroes and amount to little in comparison with others such as the Lannisters. So far, there's nothing on their opinion of the situation after the Three-Eyed Crow's prediction re: the Blackstone Fortresses is proven true, although both of them seem to acknowledge that they are going to be involved in big things. | |

Back from the Dead | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_8967e17f | comment |
Back from the Dead: Arthur Dayne and Barristan Selmy are cloned by Melisandre's people, and after their deaths to the Northern commandos she resurrects them. They aren't the only ones, but it ends up a wasted effort with Walter Whent, who was sent to take control of his house... who, as it turned out, had already been delivered his corpse, leading them to think he's a clone of the normal, not-having-your-soul-put-back-in kind and hence a would-be usurper to arrest and throw in prison to forget about. | |

Macross Missile Massacre | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_8b93a168 | comment |
Macross Missile Massacre: The standard tactics for human space fleets. Special note should be given to the "Longbow" defense network of which a single platform is capable of launching a volley of over six hundred missiles. The Northerners have their own version which, while only launching four hundred a piece, has four warheads per missile and can be linked en-masse to northern warships. And the missiles they fire are the updated versions of weapons that were designed to hurt and KILL dragons. Did we mention they also doubled the range range of those Roose used to spank the Lannisters at the Twins? They prove their worth beyond a shadow of a doubt when a Night's Watch force of eight heavy cruisers, eight light cruisers, and sixteen scout cruisers ambushes an Other fleet of 130 cruisers, thirty-six battleships, twenty dragon-carriers, and Star Killer. While the Night's Watch is massacred, they destroy more than a hundred and fifty Other vessels and inflict severe damage to Star Killer. The missiles also prove their boasts by killing four ice dragons. Taken even further in the battle of the Wall, where the Northern and Night's Watch forces launch two million missiles at the Others. The Others actually hesitate for a few seconds at seeing this, indicating even they were stunned by the amount of missiles coming at them. | |

Crazy Enough to Work | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_8f9f71a8 | comment |
Crazy Enough to Work: From time to time, people will carry out plans that they would never use in normal circumstances, only because it is the best they can do. Usually, they work out. During his defense of King's Landing, Viserys has to contend with two problems: his two biggest ships are too slow to be worth anything in battle and Aegon's incoming fleet is bigger than his. Solution: plant said ships near the jump point so they can act as fortresses. This causes heavy losses to Aegon's fleet, eventually setting it up for being crippled and unable to fight by the end of the battle. So, you need to make a cross-void invasion into a system that is getting ready for war against someone else, and you want to make sure your victory is overwhelming. What do you do? If you are Rhaenyra Blackfyre, the answer is "set up traps in their own system and use drones to make them think that your fleet is nowhere near its actual position". The Reach is back to the wall: the Lannister Fleet outnumbers theirs, and the former are about to attack Highgarden, which, if they take, will be the end of the war for the Tyrells. Then Margaery makes them realize that killing Tywin Lannister would cause enough chaos among the Lannisters to turn the war around, and the Reach admirals deploy a plan that attracts the Lannisters into a solid trap that annihilates many of their ships. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Played for Laughs. Catelyn laughed when she saw the direwolf father following Eddard around - until they arrived to Winterfell and the direwolf mother proceeded to follow her around. Arthur Dayne and Rhaegar Targaryen die at the hands of Sansa Stark, the niece of the woman they killed nineteen years before. For extra Irony, Rhaegar dies because his obsession with prophecy (the same reason he kidnapped and raped Lyanna Stark) meant no one was there to protect him when Sansa Stark came. | |

Apocalypse How | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How: Planetary. In the books, Tywin killed the Reynes by damming a stream to flood their underground castle. Here, he does it by having his fleet melt the polar icecaps on their home planet. Several hundred million people are killed, and anyone who survives has to leave the planet. Many of Dorne's planets were turned into deserts by the Targaryen dragons. The Others have a ship the wildlings call "Star Killer" that can freeze an entire planet in minutes. Upon seeing that the planet of Fawnton is going to be overwhelmed by demons, Ser Richard Lonmouth has his damaged ship ram the planet, destroying its surface for centuries to come and preventing the demons from gaining a foothold on the Seven Sectors. Saltcliffe ends up cracking up after the Vale occupying forces use a few too many nuclear weapons during an Ironborn uprising and then the attack by the wights awakened by Victarion Greyjoy. | |

Heel Realization: Jaecaerys Velaryon is horrified by the atrocities his side commits during the sack of Kings landing, and by Aegon’s maniacally killing friends over a slight. He comes to hope for Aegon's death, tries to have Melisandre killed and reflects with a sick certainty that he has damned his soul to the seven hells for being part of this. Renly realizes, when Stannis attacks the First Storm Fleet, that being such a Jerkass to his brother has led to Stannis deciding to not care what happens to Renly. | |

It is, however, Sansa Stark that ends up killing him. | |

Never My Fault: Rhaegar is unwilling to admit that it was his actions that led to Robert's Rebellion. The Small Council forgets very rapidly that they were the ones to ignore Varys' suggestions of preparing the West and the Reach against a potential Ironborn rebellion. Roger Wardfire blames everyone but himself because his career as a space officer stalled in the aftermath of being caught negotiating the moves of his patrols in the Narrow Void with a Tyroshi slaver. | |

Superweapon Surprise: The White Walkers unveil their newest weapon during the attack on Kroc's Star: a space cannon capable of freezing an entire planet in minutes. In the battle of Nightsong, the Dornish reveal their new weapon — the ion cannon, capable of destroying a battlecruiser in one shot. Chapter 24 shows us that the Seastone Chair is a weapon against the horrors of the Void. Using it costs Urrigon Greyjoy his life but allows Ayric Sarring, Asha Greyjoy-Tarly and Bronn Wood-brother to kill an empowered Victarion. | |

In the novels, Lord Celtigar is an Upper-Class Twit and Professional Butt-Kisser whose courage and loyalty are put into serious question after he surrenders following the battle of the Blackwater. In this fic he’s one of Viserys's most brave, loyal and trusted allies, a highly respected Naval leader, dedicated proponent of reform, and an Honest Advisor. | |

Foreshadowing: Word of God stated that, due to the different timeline, Sansa would be much more militant than her canon self. She ends up killing three members of the Kingsguard (two with a bomb, the other, Arthur Dayne, by straight out ripping his throat) and Rhaegar Targaryen. | |

Suicide Mission | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_9e062ca3 | comment |
Suicide Mission: Dorne's Operation Midnight, only crewed by the old men who have already left behind enough descendants and those who have nothing else to live for. They achieve their objective of wrecking several systems' worth of space stations and spaceships, and some of them even manage to return to Dorne. Operation Cataclysm begins with a few thousand House Morrigen men essentially doing this, by taking over several defense stations and spending their time doing as much damage as possible to the Connington fleet. | |

Dramatically Missing the Point: When it turns out that the Longbow Networknote A satellite defensive network developed by a company owned in part by the Tarlys, which is an economic rival to the Tyrell-Redwyne-Hightower alliance in the Reach was what allowed the defenders of Southshield to beat the Ironborn back while suffering few casualties, one of the Hightowers muses that they ought to start doing propaganda to offset any good publicity the Longbow Network has earned. | |

The one time he was able to talk to a girl, it was the one that actually had a brain and the smarts to not only debate him in the matter of starships, but also correct him on a mistake he had made. The Tyrells demand he marry with Asha Greyjoy. | |

Authority in Name Only | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_a5398aba | comment |
Authority in Name Only: House Darry, who replaced the Tullys as Lord Paramounts of the Riverlands, are barely able to assert any authority, even over the loyalist houses. The Mallisters and Blackwoods lead a faction loyal to the North, the Brackens lead another faction of former rebels who are upset with the peace terms, there are two different factions of loyalists, and what's left of the Freys are loyal to the Lannisters. This isn't helped by the fact that House Whent, who are supposed to be sworn to them, currently have a member acting as the Hand of the King. Almost all of the Storm Lords are still loyal to Stannis and House Baratheon, rather than to Jon Connington, who replaced them as Lord Paramount of the Stormlands. Only House Caron has willingly sided with Jon Connington since the Greyjoy Rebellion, and Lord Caron is a teenager who was raised in Reach, and, like all the young men raised there, is an idiot. Even then, he's the only member of Rhaegar Connington's group that is smart enough to realise that they shouldn't annoy Stannis when he grants them an audience. The government in King's Landing is rapidly becoming this, as even many of the Houses that were loyal to them are turning against them due to mistreatment, incompetence, rivalries amongst the Small Council, rivalries amongst the Royal family, and Rhaegar's insanity. Rhaegar's this to the Small Council. About the only thing they can agree on is that none of his orders make any sense, and that they should all just smile and nod, then ignore whatever he said as soon as he's gone. When Joffrey makes his own play for the Iron Throne, he finds himself a figurehead for Tywin Lannister, as his grandfather doesn't even bother pretending to seek his king's advice before making his own decisions. | |

Wyman Manderly at the feast before the Fall of Pyke.

Lord Lonmouth concludes Wyman is deliberately trying to offend as many people in the South as possible. Since Lord Manderly couldn't have done this without the permission of Eddard Stark, he counts as this as well. | |

Unexpected Successor | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_aaff69d0 | comment |
Unexpected Successor: Joffrey oversees the execution of Tywin's will. To his mounting rage and exasperation, Tywin had it prepared before Jaime joined the Kingsguard and never updated it, despite the named heir now being ineligible. Furthermore, it lists the now deceased Kevan as Regent. With no other recourse and unwilling to appoint another Lannister cousin as the heir, Joffrey declares Tyrion to be the new Lord of the Rock. Later discoveries make it obvious that Tywin did this deliberately, having appointed Jaime to multiple positions in an effort to further concentrate power in his family's hands. Interestingly, while Tyrion was the expected legal successor, any fan of the parent franchise would know how unlikely it was that he'd actually inherit. | |

Dramatic Irony: Rhaegar claims that Visenya will be able to get her sister back from the North, because of a prophecy: "The blades will not be drawn until the great comet turns the Eye of Woe red and the devourer of the stars die under the pack’s fangs". Guess what just got killed by a pack of direwolves? As Varys notes, despite him having joined the Small Council specifically to undermine the Targs and prepare for the return of the Blackfyres, everyone else is so incompetent or insane that he spends most of his time making sure that the Seven Kingdoms and the Targaryen regime don't fall apart too soon. | |

Alas, Poor Villain | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_ac09dc0f | comment |
Alas, Poor Villain: Due to Dying as Yourself, Aerys. Lord Grafton, as he sees the Blackfyres completely outmaneuver him, tearing through his star system (and likely to make good on their threat to sell into slavery the families of the nobles who resisted them) while seeing Robin Arryn (who he'd rallied behind) abandon him, and managing to Face Death with Dignity. Barristan Selmy burning to death as he finally seems to feel a little guilt (or at least, a lack of reassurance) about his loyalties. Somewhat subverted when he's promptly resurrected and doesn't seem to have gotten any better. Lord Lymond Lychester (although he isn't portrayed as much of a villain beyond loyalty). He's a bit of The Fundamentalist and an Iron Throne loyalist contemptuous of the rebel factions, but one who is shaken by the loss of his sons on the last war and his primary concern is not seeing more people suffer the same fate, which is a hope he desperately prays for and which comes across as doomed. General Du Bu is a loyal accomplice to Pol Qo, a power-mad pretender to the Azure Empire's throne. Still, Du Bu genuinely (but incorrectly) believes that the man they're rebelling against is going crazy rather than making necessary preparations against a genuine threat. Du Bu is falsely accused of incompetence and disloyalty by his friend and superior and is gunned down under circumstances he considers shameful and ignominious, clinging to life just long enough to see the assassin who framed him kill Pol Qo. Du Bu dies knowing that their dreams for the empire have amounted to nothing. | |

Pyrrhic Victory | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_ad9fbc1e | comment |
Pyrrhic Victory: The Battle of the Trident. The Rebellion lost the fight and their main leader, but the Targaryens and their loyalists lost too many ships and crews to take advantage of it. Robert's Rebellion as a whole for the Targaryens. Rhaegar manages to take the throne and sign peace with the rebels, but he is left with an increasingly fractious and indebted Realm, he has become one of the most hated monarchs in the history of the Seven Sectors before he even takes the throne, he is forced to have his sister Daenerys foster in Braavos... and he has to marry Cersei Lannister as payment for her father's support in the Rebellion. Gerion Lannister manages to find Brightroar, but many of his men died during the fight as they escaped Valyria. Operation Cataclysm for Stannis Baratheon. While he did manage to achieve his objective of ruining Jon Connington's fleet, the interference of the R'hllor worshippers prevents him from taking Jon Connington prisoner and leads to Fawnton's utter destruction. The Battle of Craster's Fort for the Others. While they technically achieve a victory, they lose 149 spaceships, four ice dragons, their main weapon suffers damage, their main objective of killing the Free Folk and turn them into wights ends in complete failure as they manage to escape and they only destroy a few obsolete spent missile platforms and thirty-two small ships (a ratio of almost 4-to-1 in numbers but much greater in weight) crewed by 7,000 Night's Watch Brothers. The Second Battle of King's Landing for Aegon, to the extent that it doesn't even qualify as a victory. While his space forces win an impressive victory against Viserys' larger and more organized forces (thanks mostly to Melisandre's shadow magic), their own fleet is reduced to virtually nothing in the process and now King's Landing (the planet) has resolved to fight to the bitter end (typically, when a space battle is won, the planet will surrender since orbital bombardment can render almost any ground-based defense untenable) because they know they can expect no mercy and that Aegon is using dark magic. Terrestrial casualties are even worse, civilian casualties are so high it ensures the survivors will hate them, and the infrastructure of the planet is destroyed. The result is that his forces are forced to abandon the planet, and Viserys can't even step in to help the survivors as he has no way to evacuate or feed them. | |

Baby Factory: Before the Usurper's War, Dorne limited births because of their limited internal supplies. After it, all Dornish women were encouraged to have as many children as possible so that their future rebellion has a chance of success. | |

| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_b4a6ae4c | comment |
Everyone Has Standards: The vast majority of the Goldcloaks are corrupt, but almost all of them are just taking bribes because their pay is so bad they can barely afford to support themselves and their families. They, in turn, are disgusted by the crimes and decadence of the Crown when they find out, and many are considering deserting or defecting. Ayric Sarring and his men are utterly appalled when they see what has been done to Great Wyk, and quickly decide that they need to kill the Beast for it. | |

Epic Fail | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: The military occupation of the Iron Sector is so incompetent that only one of its eight systems is not in open rebellion, and the troops are losing tens of thousands of soldiers every month to the Ironborn rebels. The defenses of Griffin's Roost are so incompetent almost half the attacking Dornish survive a suicide mission. Rhaegar's reign is so bad that pretty much his entire family and about ninety percent (or more) of all of Westeros' houses is involved in some kind of plot against him. Victarion Greyjoy eventually returns to liberate/reclaim the Iron Sector. His first battle concludes with the destruction of the planet he's fighting for, a decidedly humiliating start. The Frey-led defense of Haigh's Fort and their own home system is so poor that the Northern commanders say their losses were lower than even their most optimistic estimates. Ronald Vance's attempt to forge an official order from Lord Darry (his lord paramount, whose decrees he should be familiar with) is described as having the wrong colored ink, the wrong colored seal, lots of messy ink spots, dozens of spelling and grammar errors, handwriting that doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to Lord Darry's style, lacks the authenticating cryptogram at the top, and was presented by someone Lord Darry obviously wouldn't have used as a messenger. The fact that it's just a single sheet of paper makes these mistakes even more blatant and cringeworthy. The poor maintenance and poor leadership of Desmond Redwyne’s garrison fleet cause it to suffer a Curb-Stomp Battle against an opponent whose widely considered to be one of the stupidest faction leaders in the entire story. The Reach built up a Sector Navy larger than any three other sector fleets combined. They manage to lose half of it in a single surprise attack. As usual, Mace Tyrell is held up as the greatest beacon of idiocy. He leads the Grand Reach Fleet of over one hundred ships of the line, two hundred battlecruisers, close to a thousand escorts, and several thousand other vessels to invade Dorne after retaking the fallen Storm systems. In the first battle, the fleet is almost entirely destroyed by an enemy only a tenth its size. Little over a hundred ships survive due to Garlan Tyrell realizing they were about to be ambushed and ordering a retreat that a few ships obeyed. And the ultimate humiliation is that the Dornish then took specific pains to capture him so that he couldn't expunge the shame of his incompetence by dying "heroically" in battle. If he wasn't largely responsible for Rhaegar taking the throne and was now supporting Aegon, you'd almost feel sorry for him. Even if Mace had been a competent battlefield commander, Mace would still be an idiot, because the Grand Reach Fleet was incapable of fighting a large scale war without outside support - he spent so much money on ships that there wasn't enough left in the treasury to cover payroll, fuel and munitions for a protracted campaign. | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: A large amount of the nobility in the South. Most of them absolutely refuse to learn anything from their battles during Robert's Rebellion or the Greyjoy Rebellion, a fact that is noted repeatedly by outsiders and the few intelligent members of the Southern nobility. When Robert's Rebellion was dying down, the Ironborn decided to launch an attack on Seagard. A system that the entire Ironborn fleet would need to attack to have a hope of taking. Varys and Illyrio conclude the commander was either a total idiot or suicidal. Others agree: Continuing the Greyjoy trend, Victarion and Balon thought the best way to attack the Lannister forces was a frontal-assault... when the Lannister forces were on their usual level of alertness. Euron had to convince them to launch a surprise attack. None of them learned from this. Ynys Yronwood thinks Doran Martell is this when he mentions that treaties made with the Starks and the North can be easily broken. The incidents mentioned under Beware the Nice Ones are things she immediately thinks of, noting that most of the South likes to look down on the North and act like they are easily fooled and cheated, when in reality the North is simply biding its time until they are strong enough, at which point they will pay back every single injustice done to them. Rhaegar sends his second son Joffrey to bring Daenerys back, even though she has to remain for two more years - and it's either that or pay several trillion dragons if they don't want a war. | |

Baela really lucked out being raised by the Starks. | |

Double Standard: The lords loyal to Aegon will not send for Margaery Tyrell to calm him down, because, well, she's not one of the prostitutes or smallfolk they usually send to calm his outbursts - heavily implied to be via Aegon killing them, if the comments made by said lords are accurate. | |

DidNotThinkThisThrough | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_b773ec0e | comment |
Did Not Think This Through: C'mon, Rhaegar, did you honestly think that kidnapping the daughter of a Lord Paramount would have no consequences? One Goldfist knight decides to shoot a wounded Goldcloak so that the Goldcloaks around him will continue to advance rather than pausing to look after their comrade. Janos Slynt and his fellow Goldcloaks are quite happy that the knight decided not to wear a helmet. Gerion Lannister questions the wisdom of marrying Cersei to a known rapist. Special Delegate Tarkien decides to shoot Ser Valeron Rambton, the captain of the warship he is on, in the back of the head when he thinks Rambton is going to surrender in order to save the ship. As soon as the shock wears off, Rambton's men pull their sidearms and avenge their fallen captain. Many of Balon's decisions during the Greyjoy Rebellion (starting with the decision to start it) only make it easier for the Targaryens to destroy the Ironborn. Euron Greyjoy's attempt to become a god only ends up causing problems as the Others enter realspace thanks to his ceremony. The Targaryens killed the two previous High Septons. As in, the equivalent of the Pope for the Faith of the Seven, the official religion, and most popular religion, of the Seven Sectors. This results in religious fanatics suicide bombing nobles. Rhaegar sends Joffrey, Viserys and Visenya to bring Daenerys, Rhaenys and Baela respectively back, because his prophecies state all Targaryens must be at hand for Aegon's wedding to Margaery Tyrell. However, there's many things he hasn't considered: The peace treaty with Braavos stated that Daenerys would have to stay there until she was twenty, or else the Seven Sectors would have to pay several trillion gold dragons to them and Lorath. Of course, it turns out that Daenerys loathes her elder brother and would rather tell him to get lost. Viserys does not even make the effort to enter Dorne, because he knows the Dornish will try to kill him the moment he crosses the border, so it's up to Jaime Lannister. The Dornish destroy the ship that brought Jaime to Sunspear while he is in a spaceport in the middle of nowhere, which gives Jaime an entirely unnecessary nudge to support Rhaenys. Visenya hates her father and her eldest half-siblings. When it becomes obvious that the Starks are going to go on war with the Iron Throne, Visenya joins the Starks only giving a damn about the many people that will die in the war. In the aftermath of the Battle of Harvest Hall, Margaery realizes that many of the actions that her father and herself thought were smart (supporting Rhaegar, marrying her to Aegon, creating a huge navy, an enormous propaganda effort) have backfired on them the most messy way. | |

Storming the Castle: During the Battle of King's Landing, Connington's forces attempt to do this on the Eternity Gate held by Dornish commandos. They get cut down in droves before someone finally decides to call in a Behemoth. In the battle of Saltcliffe, Victarion Greyjoy does this with wights (who admittedly, probably can't use more complex tactics) against Fort Forlorn. Five days and several hundred million (re)dead wights later, the fort still hasn't completely fallen, and Victarion has to bring in a wight kraken to open the gates. | |

Ignored Expert: Calla Peake tells her father (whom she was formerly heir to, until her forced wedding) that she has figured out that the Reach will be able to fight for only fourteen months, at best, before becoming completely ruined, and backs it up with hard numbers that a sane person wouldn't ignore. Her father tells her he is glad his younger daughter is now his heir. Varys occasionally get shouted down when his reports contradict the Small councils complacency or arrogance. Examples include stating that the north’s secret shipyard didn’t exist and warning about the Ironborn preparing for war. | |

It's All About Me | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_bb18a227 | comment |
It's All About Me: As Gerion Lannister notes, the Ironborn attack on Lannisport enraged Tywin not for the tens of thousands of lives lost or billions of dragons of property destroyed, but because the attack challenged his authority. Another note of this is the Reyne and Tarbeck Rebellion, where Tywin essentially wiped out the civilian populations of both planets along with the ruling houses. For a comparison, Robert's Rebellion caused (throughout the Seven Sectors and over the course of two years) four hundred million dead and five hundred million refugees. The relatively minor Reyne and Tarbeck Rebellion caused seven hundred and forty million deaths and left two hundred million as refugees. Not to mention that pretty much anyone associated with the rebels were financially ruined and women were banned from the Western Navy. Further demonstrated as the War of the Ten Warlords happens. All the big decisions in the Lannister faction are made by him, all the strategies are developed by him, all the government passes by him. Joffrey (whom Tywin technically owes allegiance to) even notes that the symbols of House Lannister are bigger in size and number than those of House Targaryen, that no one in the war council has direct allegiance to him and even that Tywin's seat in the War Council is bigger than Joffrey's. | |

Big Bad Wannabe | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_c67af1b0 | comment |
Big Bad Wannabe: Much like in canon, Balon Greyjoy's rebellion is a dismal failure reducing him to this. Euron Greyjoy is a legitimate threat, and that's before his genuine sorcery starts being used. His attempts to become a god however are an utter failure and he gets curbstomped by an Other, establishing the actual pecking order for the villains. Littlefinger's treacherous nature is revealed much faster, his plans are far less complex and successful, and even the factions willing to deal with him plan to dispose of him as soon as possible. Tywin Lannister’s attempted conquest of the seven sectors while using his grandson as a puppet king comes to an end after he gets Out-Gambitted at Highgarden and then promptly killed by Tysha with plenty of other factions left in the field. Mace Tyrell's efforts to play kingmaker are fairly laughable and he looses his fleet and his made a prisoner after his very first battle. Victarion Greyjoy’s attempt to liberate the Iron Sector merely gets several planets destroyed by wights or krakens before he himself is killed at the end of the War of the Ten Warlords. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: To Warhammer 40,000 and Horus Heresy: During the Prologues, Ayric thinks that it's good the Western Sector has no god of murder and carnage, otherwise some idiot might start shouting "Blood for the Blood God!" There's also the fic's title, a catchphrase of the Traitor Astartes. At the end of the Dying Peace arc, Dornish commander Diana Ker says “Into the fires of battle, unto the anvil of war.” When talking about the Valemen that fought in the Battle of Saltcliffe until the planet itself shattered, Captain Godric Meric states "The planet broke before the Vale Army did." The battle-cry "Death to the False King!" is a reference to the battle-cry of the Chaos Space Marines, "Death to the False Emperor!". Part four of the Fourth Prologue opens with a quote from Ned that is paraphrased from a famous quote Marshal Ferdinand Foch about the Treaty of Versailles: Shortly before his death, Robin Greyjoy thinks "In the Void, no one hears you screaming". Following the Attack on Lannisport at the beginning of the Greyjoy Rebellion, Tywin paraphrases a quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt: One of the first men to die when the Ironborn attack the Arbor is called Jon Buckley, after the famous Designated Victim that appears in several books published by Baen. The dialogue between the fighter squadron leaders while approaching the Blackstone Fortress in Chapter 5 Part B is straight out of Star Wars: A New Hope, when Red Squadron is approaching the Death Star. Durasteel is also mentioned several times. "I am one with the Old Gods and the Old Gods are with me." Later, Ayric quips "I hear rebellions are built on [hope] after all." The Special Delegate in the mission of finding and taking Rhaenys Targaryen back to her father is called Willem Tarkien. The opening of the first scene of Chapter 5, concerning some sloppy smugglers getting caught red-handed, is almost a direct copy of a similar scene from On Basilisk Station. The North's war plan for if they end up having to fight both the Others and the South at the same time is Operation Overlord. The various sectors ship designs are based off of ones from other works: The Western Sector's ships are based off of Venator-class Star Destroyers. The River Sector ships were initially based on the MC80 Home One typeStar Cruisers. Following Robert's Rebellion, ships deployed by Houses Darry and Whent are based on the Rock Dreadnoughts from Empire: Peripheral Wars. The Baratheon and Connington ships are based off of Battle Cruisers from StarCraft. The Reach's ships are based off of the Imperium's ships from Warhammer 40,000, just with symbols and shrines dedicated to the Faith of the Seven instead of the God-Emperor. The North's ships are based off of the human ships from Battlestar Galactica (2003), with Ice, their massive ancestral super-battleship, being described as "a very, very big Galactica". The Ironborn longships and super-longships are based off of the Dominion's warships. The Dorne ships are based on the Klingon Birds of Prey. The Vale ships are based on the Allied vessels from Stellar Impact. The Crownland ships are based on the Titans from Sins of a Solar Empire, specifically, the TEC Ragnarov Titan. Rhaenyra Blackfyre's flagship the Black Dragon is the Infinity. Brienne Tarth says Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty, or give me death" during the invasion of Summerhall. In the aftermath of the utter destruction of Fawnton, Stannis says Bhagavad Gita's "We have become Death, the destroyer of worlds". Many of the Old Gods appear to be named after the Celtic Gods, such as Nantosuelta and Taranis. Deep Space Krakens. An Artifact of Doom that's a Ring of Power? Sounds familiar (even if this one raises the dead). The characters even toss it into a volcano to try and destroy it. | |

| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_ca87e3ec | comment |
No Name Given: Unlike the books, this is averted with the Old Gods, who are now actually named (and closer to most well known polytheistic religions, with different gods being responsible for or patron of different things), and they actually have priests and religious orders, rather than simply being a rather informal religion like in the books. | |

Alester Florent is a Non-Action Guy and Upper-Class Twit in the books whose good moments mostly come when being compared to his Jerkass brother, but here he went against the Tyrells to be a major innovator of the Longbow Missile system (which could have revolutionized space warfare if it hadn't been ignored out of greed) and died fighting Wyman Manderly during the Battle of the Trident, with Wyman (who he injured first) saying that he died well. | |

Colonel Badass: Ayric Sarring gets promoted to Colonel by Gerion Lannister. He already showed how badass he was by surviving the Battle of Bridge's Edge, the Battle of Pyke and encounters with an Other, wights and demons, but he further proves his badassery by defeating Oswell Whent in one-on-one combat, someone who Gerion admits even Sandor Clegane would at best Mutual Kill. Even the Hound admits that Sarring has always been better than him. | |

Cassandra Truth: Varys warned the Small Council about the Ironborn's rearmament and growing of their fleet, but the Hand and the Council considered the warnings (and associated recommendations) as alarmist and baseless. Two years later, the Ironborn attacked Lannisport. Calla Peake's warnings that the Reach cannot prosecute a war for longer than a year go unheard. | |

Sky Cell: The Sky Cells of the Eyrie are infamous for how absurdly terrifying they are. Standing at six thousand metres above the sea level, all cells have one wall open to the outside. The air is so poor in oxygen and it is so cold that prisoners have to be given air masks and void suits to survive - and yet few prisoners last beyond a few days, because the howling winds, the cold and the solitude rapidly drive them to suicidal insanity. | |

In Spite of a Nail | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_d243518d | comment |
In Spite of a Nail: even though the Rebellion was defeated and House Targaryen is still in power, there's many events that still happen like in the books. Ned and Catelyn have the same children as in the books. Daenerys lives in Braavos after the war ends. Just this time, she doesn't leave. House Greyjoy starts a rebellion, taking advantage of the apparent weakness of the ruling house, thinking they other kingdoms/sectors will rebel as well. Jorah Mormont gets his ass exiled as a consequence of his infatuation with Lynesse Hightower. This time, however, it's for giving her state secrets rather than selling people into slavery. Tyrion met and married Tysha, but Tywin had her driven away. Baelish manages to prop himself up thanks to a lucky connection and ends up as part of the Small Council. The Stark children find and claim several direwolf pups. Robin Arryn is a sickly Momma's Boy. Shireen Baratheon survived a bout of greyscale. Pycelle and Varys are the only members of Aerys's Small Council that still remain part of it. Three Dragons still hatch and a black one binds with Daenerys. A society of sparrows oppose the family on the iron throne. Most of King's Landing's population is killed by a Targaryen. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: After the Usurper's War, the North gives their new ships names as Robert Baratheon, Lyanna Stark, Brandon Stark... or Flames of Rebellion. The Sparrow that kills the puppet High Septon manages to also kill all of his guests before the guards reach her because they did not expect an attack. When Varys disappears, the entirety of the Crown Intelligence Agency disappears alongside him, and they release a special holo-newspaper into King's Landing detailing the corruption, decadence, and crimes of the crown, signed by Varys to confirm that it's true, resulting in a massive uprising in the capital, with many of the Goldcloaks most likely defecting, including higher ranking officers like Janos Slynt. Ynys Yronwood's method of dealing with the knight spying on her is to invite him to join her and her bodyguards for a foursome. By the time he wakes up from fainting, she's long gone. | |

Hypocrite | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: Rhaegar claims the people of the North are honorless, yet he is the one that repeatedly violates the terms of the peace treaty he signed - after a war he started by kidnapping and raping Lyanna Stark. Eddard Stark had a daughter out of (unintended) wedlock with Ashara Dayne. This prompted the Targaryen propaganda to paint Eddard Stark as a man that would sleep with (and/or rape) any noble woman in his path. Lord Manderly lampshades the hypocrisy. Tygett and Gerion consider their brother Tywin to be one - see The Mourning After for the reason. Janos Slynt's second scene points out that the King's Landing nobility is this in regards to the Goldcloaks' corruption: while the nobles get everything handed to them on a silver platter, the Goldcloaks are paid a misery that barely (if at all) covers basic necessities. Calla Peake (née Rowan) calls out her father for suddenly remembering she is his daughter when it is in his interest to do it, when just months before he all but sold her to Lord Peake only because the Tyrells ordered him to do it. | |

Action Girl: Elia Martell (who gets to kill Aerys). Ynis Yronwood. Brienne of Tarth. Sansa Stark and Meera Reed. Averted in the Western, Reach and Storm armed forces - who have forbidden women from joining by law. Stannis, however, does recruit women into his forces, because his underpaid and understaffed medical personnel simply lack the manpower to tell the difference between men and women. Visenya is almost one. Rhaegar forbade her from joining the military, which she skirts around by becoming a test pilot. Asha Greyjoy doesn't get much opportunity to fight, having been taken as a ward of the Tyrells after the Greyjoy Rebellion and sent off to marry Samwell Tarly. She gets her chance much later when they head for the Iron Sector where she faces off against an Other-empowered Victarion. She manages to keep up with supreme badass Ayric Sarring and stays in the fight even when eldritch powers are used to force so many other soldiers to their knees. | |

The Scapegoat: Rolland Storm did everything he could to ensure the 24th Storm Task Force could blunt the edge of the Dornish fleet during their attack on Nightsong and achieve some sort of Curb Stomp Cushion, but the captains of most of the other ships chose to ignore his orders, completely screwing his defense plans and getting themselves destroyed. After the battle, the official reports choose to blame Rolland Storm for the crushing defeat while praising the mutineer officers. | |

Has a Type: Before he gets married, Jon Connington only sleeps with silver-haired, purple-eyed prostitutes because they are the closest he will be able to having sex with Rhaegar. Varys takes advantage of this and slips spies on him. | |

The Coup | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_e27693 | comment |
Robert's Rebellion as a whole for the Targaryens. Rhaegar manages to take the throne and sign peace with the rebels, but he is left with an increasingly fractious and indebted Realm, he has become one of the most hated monarchs in the history of the Seven Sectors before he even takes the throne, he is forced to have his sister Daenerys foster in Braavos... and he has to marry Cersei Lannister as payment for her father's support in the Rebellion. | |

The Wise Prince | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_e45ce099 | comment |
Rhaegar Targaryen gets this most of all. While in canon he was the “Prince that was Promised” and The Wise Prince who was admired yet remained a Broken Base. Here he is a petty, violent, prophecy-obsessed nut job with extreme Disproportionate Retribution towards anything that insults his power. Virtually no one outside his most loyal followers like him, and every faction in the 7 kingdoms is actively planning to put him out of power. | |

Insistent Terminology | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_e563bf09 | comment |
Insistent Terminology: In sections told from the viewpoint of Northerners, Rhaegar is almost never referred to by name, being called "The Rapist". Similarly, Aerys is referred to as "The Crazy One". Samwell Tarly does not shriek like a little girl. He manifests his surprise loudly and vigorously. Most of Rhaegar's children think of him as their "genitor", not their father. | |

The War of the Ten Warlords, Chapter 1. Dorne launches its attack, destroying a good lot of the Reach's and Jon Connington's naval capability and later successfully invading Nightsong. Varys reveals every dirty secret the Small Council has been hiding, causing King's Landing to erupt in rebellion. Gerion gets Shiera and Daeron out of King's Landing and back to Casterly Rock. Viserys takes King's Landing and crowns himself king after a brutal battle that destroys most of House Targaryen's Behemoths. Oswell Whent, Arys Oakheart, Barristan Selmy and Arthur Dayne die during the coup, the last three at Sansa Stark's hand before she also kills Rhaegar Targaryen. | |

Redeeming Replacement | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_eba3a2d1 | comment |
Redeeming Replacement: Viserys Targaryen shows no signs of insanity or cruelty, and it appears he could have been a decent king. Certainly better than Aerys, Rhaegar, or Aegon. Unfortunately, by this point the realm is too divided for it to work, and too many sectors hate all Targaryens. After his father's capture, Willas Tyrell turns out to be a competent administrator and strategist, unfortunately for him things are too terrible for that to make much of a difference. | |

0% Approval Rating: If Rhaegar is not there, he's probably quite close to it. Arthur Dayne. In the aftermath of the Battle of Pyke, Varys notes that Dayne has been the target of, at least, three assassination attempts in just a few days. A later update indicates he is outright barred from dozens of systems and both the North and Dorne because they want to put his head on a pike. It leads to his death when the North is able to convince one of the Red Keep's servants, whose brother he killed, to spike his drink and deliver him to their assassination team. | |

Decomposite Character | |
| Let the Galaxy Burn (Fanfic) / int_f0508c08 | comment |
Decomposite Character: Unlike the show (and possibly the books), R+L!=J. Jon Snow does not exist, replaced by Joanna Snow, who, unlike Jon, is Ned's daughter, with her mother being Ashara Dayne. As for Lyanna, she gave birth to twin girls, Baela and Visenya, who are not bastards because Lyanna Stark, having been raised in the North to worship the Old Gods, definitely agreed to marry Rhaegar before the New Gods, and they can prove it because at least two Kingsguards, who are completely impartial third parties, signed a statement saying she had definitely agreed to this. Please ignore Rhaegar's scars. Book!Joffrey is split between Crown Prince Aegon, which picks up being Crown Prince and many of Joffrey's worst traits (often in exaggerated versions), and Prince Joffrey, who picks up being Cersei's eldest son, the Lannister candidate in the succession war, and Joffrey's core personality (it often doesn't look like it, but that's because this Joffrey's upbringing, especially not being Crown Prince, has made him much more capable of recognising the limits of his power and when to keep a rein on his feelings). Prince Aegon himself is split between canon Prince Aegon, the son of Rhaegar, and Rhaenyra Blackfyre, the exiled royal returning to Westeros at the head of the Golden Company. | |

The Alleged Car: The Alleged Starship: The starfighters Visenya tests in Chapter 2 have so many troubles that they make the F-104note A Cold War-era fighter with a fame for falling down whenever it malfunctioned look like a safe bet. Word of God has explicitly compared it to the F-35 Lightning II. The Alleged Tank: Lord Thurgood Cafferen boasts about the Trident super-heavy tanks, convinced the Greyjoy Leviathans are wholly inferior to them, and and that even the Western White Lion do not compare. In the Battle of Pyke a single Leviathan one-shots three Tridents, Euron Greyjoy destroys a fourth with his magic, and the soldiers on the ground end up wishing for a White Lion. | |

Orbital Bombardment: Happens a number of times, with several characters mentioning that military wisdom says "Whoever controls the orbit, controls the planet". Part of what makes taking Moat Cailin a nightmare is that, even if you make it through the massive number of stellar minefields and asteroid fields filled with fortresses, the planet has ancient machinery on it that generates gravity fields that pull any ships trying to orbit it into the planet, destroying them, meaning that anyone wanting to control the planet has to land troops (see Death World for why that's another can of worms). | |

Ynys Yronwood thinks Doran Martell is this when he mentions that treaties made with the Starks and the North can be easily broken. The incidents mentioned under Beware the Nice Ones are things she immediately thinks of, noting that most of the South likes to look down on the North and act like they are easily fooled and cheated, when in reality the North is simply biding its time until they are strong enough, at which point they will pay back every single injustice done to them. | |

Seventeen years later, when Visenya enters a Northern ship for the first time in many years, she thinks that, while she does not agree with the Tyrell's position of painting every corner, a bit of decoration never killed anyone. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted with Rhaegar - Lyanna scratched him with such savagery while he raped her that not even the best surgery could eliminate the scratch marks on his face. | |

Further demonstrated as the War of the Ten Warlords happens. All the big decisions in the Lannister faction are made by him, all the strategies are developed by him, all the government passes by him. Joffrey (whom Tywin technically owes allegiance to) even notes that the symbols of House Lannister are bigger in size and number than those of House Targaryen, that no one in the war council has direct allegiance to him and even that Tywin's seat in the War Council is bigger than Joffrey's. | |
