* One of the freaks, a blobby amphibian-type thing that is said to have once been human, is none other than one of the post-human creatures that Janeway and Tom Paris temporarily evolve into after a trans warp flight in the infamous Voyager episode "Threshold" (probably one of the offspring they leave at the planet they escape to).

* Said cetaceans ''really want'' people to swim with them. In addition to being a [[AnythingThatMoves "horny dolphin"]] (or at least [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphinoidea dolphinoid]]) joke, it references the fact from Strange Energies that the crew uses Cetacean Ops as a swimming pool.

* The founding of the Federation looks exactly like it did in [[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS04E21TheseAreTheVoyages the series finale]] of ''Enterprise''. A close observer can even see the walkway Archer uses to enter the auditorium.

* Douglas Station has the same sort of retractable weapon emplacements as were installed on Deep Space 9 during the Dominion War.
* Scanning microbial life to make sure it is or is not sentient isn't some inconvenient bit of ass-covering paperwork, as [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E17HomeSoil this happened on TNG]] and people ''died'' for not taking into account even the smallest life-forms as being potentially sapient.
** This was also a critical point in ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'', as it was Terrell and Chekov beaming down to investigate possible primordial life that set the whole movie in motion. In both cases, the life was a sensor glitch: the ''Reliant's'' scanners had detected the people on the surface but registered them as microbes, and Tendi's tricorder picked up microbes but it was a false reading.
* Of course, this (and 'Project Swing By' in general) are both nods to ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'' -- and how the idea behind keeping track of how (and why) civilizations have progressed in the periods after being influenced by Starfleet crews ''is a'' '''VERY''' ''good idea''.
* Captain Freeman says that one of the planets they have to visit is a "''Brigadoon''-type planet that only appears for an hour every year," a reference to the [=DS9=] episode "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS03E08Meridian Meridian]]."
* Mariner had suspicions over who was backing Petra's artifact recovery missions, and upon investigation learned that Admiral Picard was funding them. Picard did have an interest in archeology and nearly went down that path before turning towards command. The episode "The Chase" highlights this with him receiving a priceless artifact from a former teacher, as well as "Masks."
* For that matter, by this point, Picard has indeed been promoted to admiral in-universe (as of 2381) to help lead the Romulan evacuation effort in the face of [[Film/StarTrek2009 their impending supernova]], as established by ''Series/StarTrekPicard''. However, the attack on Mars, and Picard's subsequent resignation, have not occurred yet since they occur four years hence (in 2385).
* Mariner mentions the [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Xindi]] as one of the groups she thought was funding Petra.
* One of the suggestions to defeat the ''Texas''-class ships is to turn the deflector dish into a large laser. The ''Enterprise''-D tried that at the start of "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II", and it might have worked had the Borg not assimilated Picard and learned what was coming.
* Similar to [[Recap/StarTrekDiscoveryS1E08SiVisPacemParaBellum an earlier Starfleet rescue]] when the U.S.S. ''Discovery'' attempted to shield the U.S.S. ''Gagarin'', the U.S.S. ''Vacaville'' appears to be moving to take the brunt of a torpedo headed for the ''Cerritos''. Luckily, Mariner is able to shoot it down without anyone getting hit.
* The interface Buenamigo uses to communicate with the ''Aledo'' looks very similar to the one of the M5 computer from "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E24TheUltimateComputer The Ultimate Computer]]", Trek's most infamous example of a completely AI-controlled ship attacking fellow Starfleet vessels.
* Rutherford threatens the ''Aledo'' to stand down "or you're dunsel!" Dunsel, something that serves no purpose, was thrown around as a term a lot in "The Ultimate Computer". Probably the ''worst'' thing to insult a computer with, to be honest.
