HeavyWorlder | |
| Planet Pirates / int_111f375d | comment |
Heavy Worlder: The genetically-enhanced Heavyworlders, due to their history, resent and distrust "lightweights" to the point of being open to manipulative propoganda and conspiracy theories by the planet pirates. In a greater society of near-universal vegetarians, they also have to eat meat due to their altered metabolism. | |

Space Pirates | |
| Planet Pirates / int_305bcbb9 | comment |
Space Pirates: As you might expect from the series title. They evade the scale problems by mainly hitting settlements and ships near planets. They also go a step further in many cases, being Planet Looters who will enslave and/or kill the inhabitants of a colony world, then settle their own people on it. | |

Human Popsicle: Sassinak's Great-great-great-grandmother Lunzie keeps getting turned into one of these, through no fault of her own. Due to having been in cold sleep so long and so many times, she ends up biologically younger then Sassinak. | |

Silicon-Based Life: The oldest and most powerful race in the Galaxy is Silicon based, and continues to grow as long as they keep feeding. Some of their elders are said to be the size of small moons. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| Planet Pirates / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: There is a lot of this around, with most races having a poor opinion of at least one other race. Sassinak is an exception to this. In the end, the Theks decree that the Seti be punished as a race. | |

Future Slang | |
| Planet Pirates / int_60441d9 | comment |
Future Slang: Characters use "Muhlah!" or "Mullah!" where we'd use "God!" or "Christ!" While this is clearly some sort of religious figure (there's also "Thank Muhlah!" and "Muhlah knew..."), further details are not provided. "Plasmic!" gets used once by a young boy as the equivalent of "cool!" or "awesome!" | |

Orphan's Ordeal: In Sassinak, Space Pirates destroy the title character's home, murders her parents, turns her best friend into a depressed wreck, and makes her their slave. She spends the rest of her life setting things right. | |

Nubile Savage | |
| Planet Pirates / int_67d947a3 | comment |
Nubile Savage: In-universe, with Lampshade Hanging. Sassinak talks about a fanservice-heavy movie series about a gorgeous Action Girl that she watched as a kid and mentions that now that she's older, she thinks it's rather unlikely that a girl who was raised as a slave in a mining colony would grow up to have the body of a supermodel, or that said girl could climb up a sheer cliff in the buff and reach the top looking like she'd just come back from the spa. | |

Magic Pants: Wefts, the shapeshifting alien of the setting, are implied to shapeshift the appropriate clothing. Fanservice is generally avoided, however - they're naturally a species of crustacean with six sexes, and fall into the Uncanny Valley when assuming human form. | |

Veganopia | |
| Planet Pirates / int_dff189b9 | comment |
Veganopia: Vegetarianism is legally mandated by The Federation, to such a strict degree that omnivorous species must unanimously swear off meat or be kicked out of the FSP. However, fish are eaten on colony worlds, while the heavyworlders and Seti ignore the rule on their own worlds. "Don't ask, don't tell" seems to be the effective rule. | |

Sufficiently Advanced Aliens: The Theks have, as far as the lesser races can tell, infinite power. A decree by the Theks is absolute over the FSP and all other beings, and they're capable of wiping out a fleet with a trivial exercise of power. Being Silicon-Based Life, though, they don't have much to do with lesser beings except in the event of a major crisis, or their own interests being affected. | |
