Lt. Munro visits Deep Space Station K-7. An Andorian mercenary sells tribble stew to refugees on Farius Prime. He later compares the Federation to Regulan bloodworms while another says that he has seen Denebian slime devils with better looks than Munro.
The scene in which the Andorian male and Klingon female hire a Human freighter captain is a reference to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker hiring the Millennium Falcon.
