Notes

• The last episode to be written by Robert Hewitt Wolfe as a staff member, but he would write one more episode as a freelancer.
• Rom & Leeta get married in this episode.
• The first (of three) episodes that more than one Defiant class ship is seen on screen at the same time.  The other two are Voyager episodes – “Message in a Bottle” & “Endgame“.
• Apparently the final shot of the episode with a massive fleet was not scripted, was something the sfx people did on their own, and it had to be addressed in the first episode of Season 6.
• There is a Galaxy class ship shown in the fleet as NCC-1701-D, but that was a production error, it was not supposed to be the Enterprise.
• Some of the battle footage used here was reused footage from “The Way of the Warrior“.
• Rule of Acquisition mentioned: #190 – “Hear all, trust nothing”.
