Background[]
- In the original version of the episode the Enterprise encounters an unidentified Klingon scout ship. In the 2007 remastered version of the episode a D7 class like vessel is added in its place.

- In the novelization, the planet was Ceres rather than Capella IV.
- There were no Klingons on Ceres in the novelization.
- The novelization states that the locals were Human decendants.
- Star Trek: Myriad Universes novel: A Less Perfect Union states that the locals were very Human-like.
