During an exterior shot just prior to this scene, Colonial One can be seen in formation with an Intersun Passenger Cruiser and the Flattop, as a third craft of the same configuration as Gemenon Traveler and Kimba Huta approaches.

Because their colonies of origin and configurations apparently coincide, it might be speculated that "Gemenon Liner 1701" was the call-sign of Gemenon Traveler before the destruction of the Colonies. It is also possible that Gemenon Liner 1701 is the Intersun ship visible in that scene, as the CGI model is labeled "Gemon Liners".

The number '1701' is an in-joke to the registry numbers of the various starships Enterprise featured in Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Ron D. Moore was a long-time writer for these sequels of the original Star Trek series.
