	Carlos Carrasco, who plays Bahrat, also plays the following roles in other Star Trek series: Krole in DS9 "Honor Among Thieves", a Klingon officer in DS9 "Shattered Mirror", and the Klingon villain D'Ghor in "The House of Quark".
	The Nekrit Supply Depot is not formally named in the episode. The name comes from canon sources such as the Encyclopaedia. The exterior of the station was designed by the show's senior illustrator Rick Sternbach.
	The following scene was written to be included in "Fair Trade", designed to give closure to Neelix's and Kes' failed romance, but the scene was cut due to time constraints. Instead some kind of closure is given in "The Gift" when they share a glass of moon-ripened Talaxian champagne in the messhall shortly before Kes leaves Voyager. 48. INT. SCIENCE LAB KES is doing inventory on a carton of supplies when Neelix ENTERS. She glances at him, uncertain of what is to come. She has no way of knowing that he believes this is the last time he will ever see her. KES: Hello, Neelix... NEELIX: Kes...I wanted to clear the air between us. It's very apparent that our relationship has been changing...that we aren't as close in the way we once were... KES: I know. We seem to have...drifted apart. NEELIX: Maybe it's for the best. But I want you to know...you've been the finest friend anyone could have. I'll always cherish that. KES: Neelix...you sound as though you're saying goodbye...we'll always be friends, won't we? NEELIX: Of course. Always. Kes moves to him and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek - friendship only, nothing sensual. Neelix stands like a rock and then smiles sadly at her and EXITS. Kes looks after him, a bit puzzled.
