	The Quarren starship's bridge is a minor redress of the Voyager crew quarters set.
	The Quarren vessel that attacks Voyager in this episode is actually a modified re-use of the CGI model of a Breen warship which appeared in various episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
	This episode contains at least two allusions to Star Wars. The Quarren is the name of an aquatic species, and the Nar Shaddan seem to be an homage to Nar Shaddaa, the name of an infamous moon in the Star Wars universe that orbits the Hutt homeworld of Nal Hutta. (Nar Shaddaa is in fact much more similar to Quarra than Mon Calamari, the Quarren's fully aquatic home planet.) The name Quarra is also used in Star Wars, although as a species and not a planet.
	In the opening teaser when Janeway is talking with the supervisor, she explains that the primary injector coils process more than 8,000 metric tons of tylium per second – a homage to the fuel of the Battlestar Galactica universe.
	Iona Morris (Umali) previously played an Only girl in TOS: "Miri". She is the elder sister of fellow Voyager guest star Phil Morris.
