Trivia

All throughout the book series' are scattered random references and minor details.

References to Outside Material

In The Road to War, specifically in the short story Retrospectus, the Saratoga's ventral power vault is located behind "panel nine-and-three-quarters", sublte, but a reference to the Harry Potter franchise.

Cindy's lance is nicknamed Private Pyle, a reference to the movie Full metal jacket.

The Lancer's Creed is a thinly-veiled version of The Rifleman's Creed. My apologies to all those who might find this offensive.

In Author of the Gust when Hunter Jusenkyou meets Ryo Sansen in a gave, he comments that he is "lost, and not ready to try Hare Krishna yet". This is actually a reference to the Great Muppet Movie, in which everytime one character mentions being lost, someone else asks them if they've tried Hare Krishna. The same scene is repeated from Hunter's perspective in The ByWay to Freedom.
