At one point, Piller's self confessed "Cuban Missile Crisis at the Neutral Zone" was a love story between Crusher and Jarok.

The third and final version of the Starfleet Admirals Uniform appears here for the first time.
   
James Sloyan is perhaps better known for his role as Dr. Mora Pol in spinoff DS9's "The Alternate" and "The Begotten".

Nelvana III takes its name from the Canadian animation studio.
