* FakeDefector: In "The Traitor", the crew of the ''Lakul'' are contacted by the Daa'Vit Morgen, an Alliance official who claims that he wants to defect to the Terran Rebellion, then in its infancy.

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler: Kira and Bashir's accidental arrival in the Mirror Universe during [=DS9=]'s "Crossover" is revealed to have been one for Memory Omega. When Emperor Spock developed his LongGame, he correctly predicted the political and social events within the Alliance over the next century after his death and how to take advantage of them. However, much like Hari Seldon and the Mule in ''Foundation'', Spock didn't anticipate there were ever be renewed contact between the Mirror Universe and the Prime Universe. In his defense, as far as he (and our Kirk knew), that crossover was a one-in-a-million cosmic fluke. So while a Rebellion was always part of ThePlan, Kira and Bashir unwittingly ended triggering it ''much'' earlier than intended and it throws Memory Omega's entire timetable into chaos.]]

* TheFakeCutie: To contrast original Kirk being a HeroicSeductress and how it takes a toll on him, Marlena marvels that mirror Kirk loves to play cute and innocent (like butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth) to get people to do what he wants and then destroys them.
