When the Prawatt starship captain Cormorant Bumberpuff first introduces himself, Captain Kate is incredulous:[1] “No military in, like, the entire galaxy would ever send a ship captain to board another vessel. That would be as dumb as, I don’t know, sending a ship captain down to the surface of an unknown planet or something.” | This basically pokes fun of how often Captain Kirk was a part of the away team in the original Star Trek series. |
The Prawatt's most popular sport is The Game. | The Game is essentially an on-ground version of Quidditch, from the Harry Potter books. |
Petra describes room 931:[2] “A room like this, in a university, on another planet far, far away in a time long, long ago, was where our kind came into being.” | The phrasing is reminiscent of the opening screen in Star Wars: "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." |
