Notes
- Running fired torpedo count: 63. This contradicts the hard limit set in “The Cloud” of 38.
- The fifth (of eight) episodes of Voyager directed by TNG’s LeVar Burton.
- The fake Delta Flyer ship bridge is the same set as the USS Defiant from DS9.
- The malfunctioning heating coil prop here was previously a cloaking device in DS9’s “Profit and Loss“. It would appear again in the Enterprise episode “Exile“.
- Francis Guinan (his real name) played Zar here. He was also Minister Kray in “Ex Post Facto” as well as Gosis in the Enterprise episode “The Communicator“.
- Dala is played by Kaitlin Hopkins. She was also the Vorta named Kilana in DS9’s “The Ship“.
- Orek is played by Dennis Cockrum. He was also a Freighter captain in TNG’s “Face of the Enemy”, an Alien Barkeep in Enterprise’s “The Communicator“. He was also in an Enterprise episode “Two Days and Two Nights” as Freebus, but only in a deleted scene.

Some other folks imitate Janeway, Tuvok, & Chakotay and are using Voyager's reputation for their own gain. We see some of this stuff, until eventually Voyager
