* In one of the 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 happens to be a Breen Combat Medic named [[DrTran Tran]].
* 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.
* The "Frozen" featured mission is a one big shout out to ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', as it features a rebel base inside an Ice cave, and...
-->'''Reman RedShirt:''' The Tal Shiar have entered the base!
** Rhi Aerial Assault is also an Empire Strikes Back shout out, with small one man fighters going up against [[HumongousMecha Elachi Walkers]] while protecting a colony!
* Some players have drawn comparisons between Hassan the Undying and Kingpin of SpiderMan fame; both being [[BaldOfEvil bald]], [[LargeAndInCharge heavyset]] antagonists in charge of powerful criminal organizations.
* The final boss of the Borg sector defense missions looks almost exactly like [[Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture V'Ger]]. Popular fanon theory says that V'Ger was enhanced by the Borg and sent back to Earth.
** The confirmation option Federation players click on when choosing to partake in these missions being one of [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Picard]]'s famous catch phrases.
