William Campbell (Okona) was almost cast as Commander Riker when the original auditions were held. He later went onto fame in Disney's "Rocketeer".
   

Jerry Lewis himself was to play the Comic part, but a role in show "Wiseguy" prevented him from doing it.
   

Okona's cargoship Erstwhile was a redress of the often used Batris freighter seen in "Heart of Glory".
   

Debin's Atlec ship was the merchant ship from Star Trek III with added length. Meanwhile, Kushell's Straleb ship was modelled after an easter egg.
   

Greg Jein's contributory 3D Chess set appears here as a nod to the Classic Star Trek. Among the pieces is the Jupiter II Spacecraft from "Lost in Space".
