The important thing to keep in mind about the Liaden Universe books is that they are, first and foremost, about people. Whether Liaden, Xtrang, or Terrans (who are, ultimately, from the same stock), it's always the people that drive the story.
The authors freely admit being influenced by Georgette Heyer and Lord Peter Wimsey. Not SF for the MilSF junkie who wants pages and pages of technical detail, but that doesn't stop there being great battles. In fact, there is an ongoing battle with the Department of the Interior that drives many of the events.
