The trilogy is composed of ''The Dreaming Void'', ''The Temporal Void'', and ''The Evolutionary Void''.

* [[Always Gets His Man|Always Gets Her Man]]: Toned down - after nearly dying while resisting her inborn compulsion to follow this trope in the [[Commonwealth Saga]], Paula Myo has this genetic trait removed, as this incident helps her to recognize that dropping dead when forced to deal with shades of gray isn't always helpful. She still, however, always gets her man.

** With the notable exception of the {{spoiler|Firstlifes}}, who created the {{spoiler|galaxy-devouring Void}} as their idea of becoming postphysical.
* [[Chekhov's Armoury]]: Anything introduced at all will have some factor later on. Even some elements from the original [[Commonwealth Saga]] become important here.

* [[Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions]]: Averted, in contrast to the previous books; a massive religious pilgrimage is the source of the main conflict.
Line 39:

* [[Teleporters and Transporters]]: The T-sphere is basically a special field that you can extend over a volume of space, in which you can casually teleport at will. There's one around the ''entire'' planet Earth.
