History ShoutOut / StarTrekOnline

* There's a [=DOFF=] character named Charles Xavier Brown. His quote? "Trust me, I've heard all the jokes. [[Franchise/{{Peanuts}} Football, beagles...]] can we talk about something else?" No word yet if he [[Franchise/XMen runs a school]].

* The final act of "Vorgon Conclusions" has you fight your way through a Starfleet Intelligence cache full of many of the [[Website/SCPFoundation anomalous artifacts and technology they've found over the centuries]]. The objects in question range from dangerous alien devices like [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E8TheBattle Bok's thought-maker]], to [[Film/StarTrek2009 the black box from the USS ''Kelvin'']], to... [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a bottle of]] [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E2Family Chateau Picard]].

* ''Manhunt'' ends with a Klingon Bird of Prey performing a BigDamnGunship rescue by decloaking just above your party and blasting the enemy; not unlike Spock's rescue of Kirk & company in ''Film/StarTrekV''.

* Another reference to 'Empire Strikes Back' in the episode "Home".

* An decorative piece that closely resembles a [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Flux Capacitor]] is present in a [[spoiler: Krenim]] temporal research facility.

* Starfleet Captains wearing the Oddessy uniform are entitled to have white shoulders on their uniform, much like the [[Literature/HonorHarrington Royal Manticoran Navy's]] White Berets

* In the Na'kuhl red alert mission, the player has to rescue a number of civilian freighters that are under attack. You're NPC contact for the mission start is the captain of the freighter [[TabletopGame/{{Traveller}} Beowolf]].

* An decorative piece that closely resembles a [[Film/BackToTheFuture Flux Capacitor]] is present in a [[spoiler: Krenim]] temporal research facility.

* Similarly, some Temporal Lock Boxes have these beacon things that you can use to get time travel assignments for your [=DOFFs=]. One has your [=DOFFs=] [[Film/BackToTheFuture "Initiate a Lightning Storm above Ancient Time Travel Test Site"]], another has you advise an ancestor of an important diplomat not to go on the maiden voyage of an [[UsefulNotes/RMSTitanic "unsinkable" ship]], and others reference various time travel issues throughout Star Trek. You'll get [=DOFFs=] that are also references, not only to Star Trek, but also to other time travelers, such as a Martha Jones Smith, whose [[Series/DoctorWho occupation is "Doctor", and her quote is "Let's hope this box is big enough for the both of us."]]

* The Singularity Core in the engineering section of Romulan ships is a big spinning deathball that looks suspiciously like the gravity core of the Film/EventHorizon.

* After firing the underbarrel GrenadeLauncher on the Klingon Honor Guard and Adapted MACO pulsewave rifles, the player-character will perform a one-handed pump action to reload the weapon, similar to how Sarah Connor racked the action on her shotgun in ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''.

* The 'Temple Offerings' mission chain essentially has the player re-enacting the B-plot of the ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]]'' episode "[[http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Progress_%28episode%29 Progress]]".

* Some players have drawn comparisons between Hassan the Undying and Kingpin of Franchise/SpiderMan fame; both being [[BaldOfEvil bald]], [[LargeAndInCharge heavyset]] antagonists in charge of powerful criminal organizations.

* Not to mention that nearly all the place- and ship-names in the Romulan storyline are references to Diane Duane's noncanon-but-popular Rihannsu novels.

* In one of the Breen missions (hidden in the "available missions" tab after being removed as "featured episodes"), [[spoiler: the player must interrogate several Breen prisoners to find a way to remove a Breen neural implant that is driving one of the Deferi mad.]] One of them happened to be a Breen Combat Medic named [[WebAnimation/DrTran Tran]].

** The 'Cold War' arc has been moved to the Available tab in the mission journal, not removed.

* In one of the no longer available Breen Featured Episodes, [[spoiler: the player must interrogate several Breen prisoners to find a way to remove a Breen neural implant that is driving one of the Deferi mad.]] One of them happened to be a Breen Combat Medic named [[WebAnimation/DrTran Tran]].

* There's also a very involved storyline set on the planet Nimbus III, which somewhat redeems the planet for its appearance in the above film.

* The final act of "Vorgon Conclusions" has you fight your way through a Starfleet Intelligence cache full of many of the [[Wiki/SCPFoundation anomalous artifacts and technology they've found over the centuries]]. The objects in question range from dangerous alien devices like [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E8TheBattle Bok's thought-maker]], to [[Film/StarTrek2009 the black box from the USS ''Kelvin'']], to... [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a bottle of]] [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E2Family Chateau Picard]].

* In "Manhunt", several of the prisoners on Rura Penthe (Vrenn and Klimor to name two) are named after Klingon characters in ''Literature/TheFinalReflection''.
* The 'Operation Wolf' task force operation has the players defend a trio of exocomps as they hack (a simulated version of) the Terran Empire's version of Earth Spacedock. These exocomps bear the names [[Film/{{Hackers}} Acid Burn, Zero Cool, and Cereal Killer]].

* In "Manhunt", several of the prisoners on Rura Penthe (Vrenn and Klimor to name two) are named after Klingon characters in ''Literature/TheFinalReflection''.

* In the 'One Night In Bozeman' patrol, one of the tasks it to erase the memories of some civilians that you save from being assimilated by the Borg. The interaction is called [[Film/MenInBlack Neuralyze Memories]].

* In "The Centre Cannot Hold", Ganbral of House K'lek calls the PlayerCharacter an [[Recap/BabylonFiveS01E03BornToThePurple "assassin of joy"]].

** Next came the ''[[Anime/BattleAngelAlita Alita]]'' class..
