Big Dumb Object: The titular Excession: it's a large featureless sphere floating in deep space, apparently dangerous, and has about a dozen sorts of physically impossible features (for example, it has mass, but doesn't warp spacetime).

 Excession / int_153299b4

Boisterous Bruiser: The Affront again, and actually a bigger problem for the Culture — the Affronters have a cultural penchant for sadism and depravity that the Culture finds detestable, but unlike the Idirians, they're not at war with the Culture, and are in fact seeking cordial diplomatic relations. This puts the Culture in the somewhat awkward position of being seen as an open aggressor if they were to intervene, even if it was on a humanitarian basis.

Faster-Than-Light Travel
 Excession / int_2af7961
comment
Faster-Than-Light Travel: Taken to a mind-bending degree. To get away from its official/unofficial stalker, the Sleeper Service converts all its extra mass into one huge engine — this is a ship with an internal volume of over a hundred thousand cubic kilometers — and reaches somewhere in the vicinity of 230,000 times lightspeed. By the end, the stalker is left asking itself, "Where is it going, Andromeda?!" note No, "Leo II".

 Excession / int_2b706ca
comment
More Dakka: Or at least the threat of it, is how the Sleeper Service prevents the impending war between the Culture and the Affront. As well as converting much of its mass to engines, it has also spent its time as an Eccentric constructing more than 80,000 warships. These range from thousands of the smaller Thug and Gangster classes (which are still capable, individually, of killing planets) to 512 Abominator class capital ships (a single one of which curbstomped an entire battle group of warships far more advanced than those possessed by the Affront in milliseconds in Surface Detail).

comment
The Sleeper Service is mainly populated by people in voluntary suspended animation, therefore it serves sleepers. A sleeper service train pulls sleeper cars, providing room and board to passengers on long, multi-day trips — the latter being ironic, since the Sleeper Service's only waking, human passenger is Dajeil (who herself has been keeping her unborn child in a state of suspension for decades), while the Mind poses its other passengers into elaborate tableaus of everyday life while still keeping them in suspension. At the same time, the ship is pretending to be an Eccentric while staying ready to react to SC orders, so it's serving as a sleeper agent — having built up most of its interior with faster-than-light engine (like a sleeper or Q-car, a car designed for performance far above what its exterior would indicate) and a whole fleet of warships kept dormant, or asleep, until called into action by the events of the book.

Affably Evil: Species of sadistic card-carrying Blood Knights though they might be, it's pointed out in-universe that the Affront are disturbingly likable and fun (and funny) in spite of all that, and they're ostensibly seeking peaceful diplomatic relations with the Culture without ulterior motive. It turns out that even the Affront plot against the Culture was actually initiated as a False Flag Operation by rogue Minds within the Culture to give them an excuse to curb the Affront's horrible internal activities, since the Affront did not in fact seem to be planning a betrayal on their own.

The Casanova: Byr has a reputation as a ladykiller who Really Gets Around — which wouldn't be unusual in the culture except that he's a love 'em and leave 'em type who seduces women and breaks hearts, rather than engaging in the friendly, casual, open, polysexual polyamory of the rest of the Culture.

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: The Interesting Times Gang (ITG), a kind of informal think tank of senior Minds who put their figurative heads together to try and coordinate the Culture's response to the titular Excession. They're all eccentric, but they're not all Eccentric.note The latter being ostracized by other Minds and thus the Culture at large. It Makes Sense in Context.

Graying Morality
 Excession / int_6a2486cd
comment
The Grey Area is (notoriously) the only Mind that manipulates organic brains directly, specifically in memories stored in the grey matter of the brain. Interfacing with human brains is seen as a great taboo among the Minds of the Culture, for which the ship has earned the nickname "Meatfucker", with some of its fellow Minds arguing over whether it should still be considered part of the Culture at all, thus falling into the "Eccentric" classification — ships neither fully inside the Culture nor fully out of it, a grey area. But the ship only does what it does to dispense justice to war criminals who have otherwise escaped justice, therefore it operates in a moral grey area.

 Excession / int_6d7026fa

Punny Name: While all the Culture Minds have Meaningful Names, they also had double meanings to their names in this novel. The list goes on, but a few of the more notable and spoiler-worthy cases: The Sleeper Service is mainly populated by people in voluntary suspended animation, therefore it serves sleepers. A sleeper service train pulls sleeper cars, providing room and board to passengers on long, multi-day trips — the latter being ironic, since the Sleeper Service's only waking, human passenger is Dajeil (who herself has been keeping her unborn child in a state of suspension for decades), while the Mind poses its other passengers into elaborate tableaus of everyday life while still keeping them in suspension. At the same time, the ship is pretending to be an Eccentric while staying ready to react to SC orders, so it's serving as a sleeper agent — having built up most of its interior with faster-than-light engine (like a sleeper or Q-car, a car designed for performance far above what its exterior would indicate) and a whole fleet of warships kept dormant, or asleep, until called into action by the events of the book.

But the ship only does what it does to dispense justice to war criminals who have otherwise escaped justice, therefore it operates in a moral grey area. The Attitude Adjuster is a warship and a spaceship — an "attitude adjustment" often refers to disciplining someone in an unpleasant way, while the attitude of an aircraft is its orientation or angle in reference to the ground. Also a crucial part of the Culture plot to manipulate the Affront, "adjusting" their attitude from open, exuberant aggression toward something closer to a Proud Warrior Race, which is at the heart of The Conspiracy.

Exposition of Immortality
 Excession / int_78d103c3
comment
Exposition of Immortality: The Drone Churt Lyne, who accompanies Ulver Seich on her travels, is mentioned as having been a family friend for a millennia with parts of its personality dating back to ancient household computer programs from 9,000 years ago. The MSV Not Invented Here is also pretty old: Desert-class MSVs were among the original "large self-sustaining" ship designs the Culture came up with two millennia prior to the Idiran War, which itself took place 800 years before the events of Excession.

Mind Rape: The Grey Area. There is a reason the other Minds call it Meatfucker. Effectors are pretty much this when used as weaponry, which is doing is such a taboo for culture Minds (at least when the victim is a living creature). The Killing Time kills the Attitude Adjuster this way, taking control of its mind and causing it to conclude that it has crossed the Moral Event Horizon and commit suicide.

Continuity Nod: There are plenty of references to the Idiran war, centuries after the fact.

In this novel, Tishlin takes an airship ride among floating islands on an Orbital. A single line appears to reference some rules that were instituted as a result of whatever happened to Azad after the conclusion of The Player of Games:

Really Gets Around: Byr is infamous for this even by the standards of the sexually liberal Culture, along with a reputation for not getting along with his exes. Dajeil's desire for monogamy, on the other hand, is specifically called out as very unusual by Culture standards. Byr's inability to keep it in his pants after promising not to sleep around while he was with Dajeil, despite her being absolutely clear what she was asking and what it would cost him, is what ends up having caused the rift between them and leads to her seclusion aboard the Sleeper Service in the first place.

The Chessmaster: The conspiracy's planners, very much so — they manipulate a splinter group within the Affront into attacking the Culture, thus justifying the Culture's intervention against the Affront, allowing them to step in to directly curb the litany of horrors that is Affront culture while not looking like the bad guys. Said conspirators are themselves Minds within the Culture, making the whole thing a rather convoluted False Flag Operation.
