   Georgiou's assistant Virgil is from the planet Cheron, seen in the TOS episode Let That Be Your Last Battlefield (1969). Because he is black on the right side, the same as Commissioner Bele, played by Frank Gorshin, it can be concluded that he belongs to that planet's ruling class.

   It is never stated what the power sent by God was used for, only that its destructive force was strong enough to affect an entire quadrant. The only thing previously seen in Star Trek that could fit in such a small device with that level of destructive power is the Omega molecule, first seen in the Voyager episode The Omega Directive (1998). Omega is an extremely unstable molecule and the most powerful substance known to exist; each molecule contains the same amount of energy as a warp core. Federation cosmologists theorized that Omega once existed naturally for an infinitesimally brief moment at the time of the Big Bang and served as the fundamental energy source for the formation of the universe. Omega was first synthesized in the late 23rd century by a Federation scientist working at a remote research station in the Lantaru sector; a single molecule was synthesized, but it remained stable for only a tiny fraction of a second before exploding, destroying the station and killing 126 of the Federation's leading scientists. The explosion had an unexpected secondary effect: the destruction of subspace across the entire sector, and rescue ships attempting to reach the Lantaru sector found they could not form a stable warp field and could move only on impulse. Starfleet scientists soon realized that a chain reaction of even a handful of molecules would not only destroy everything across dozens of light-years but also destroy subspace throughout the entire Alpha Quadrant, making travel at warp speed impossible. Without warp drive, the civilization of space travel would essentially come to an end. After this, all knowledge of Omega was classified at the highest level, and only Starfleet captains and flag officers were made aware of its existence.

   The planet Turkana IV is mentioned. The planet was first seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) as the homeworld of Enterprise-D crew member Lieutenant Natasha Yar. It is located in the Beta Quadrant, not far from the Briar Patch, and is home to a failed Earth colony established as a mining colony in 2297. Several decades later the planet's government began to collapse, and in 2330 a civil war broke out. Dozens of factions developed, each fighting for control of the planet. The Turkana government granted police powers to the two largest factions in an effort to restore law and order, but was instead overthrown by them. The factions then continued to fight without pause, the planet descended into anarchy and lawlessness, and gangs committing rape and murder became widespread. The two largest factions declared the planet's independence in 2352 and formally severed ties with the Federation. In 2361 the USS Potemkin was sent to determine the colony's fate; after hailing the colony, it was told that away teams that beamed to the surface would be killed on sight. Starfleet subsequently declared the colony off-limits. Turkana IV was seen in the fourth-season TNG episode Legacy (1990), when the Enterprise-D visited the planet in 2367 in response to a distress call from a Federation freighter that had crashed on the surface. An away team was sent to the surface to rescue the crew, where they came up against Tasha Yar's younger sister, Ishara Yar.
