* The phrase "[[So say we all]]" is exclusively germane to the [[Re-imagined Series]]. As common with most Dynamite Comics installments, some Re-imagined Series terminology integrates itself into the stories and comics related to the [[Original Series]] continuities. As ''1880'' is a variation in the ''Battlestar Galactica'' multiverse, its use here is not entirely glaring. | * The phrase "[[So say we all]]" is exclusively germane to the [[Re-imagined Series]].

* The last page of the comic is a nod to the [[Original Series]] opening preamble narrated by [[Patrick Macnee]], to wit: "There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the ''forefathers'' of the {{1880|Caprica|Capricans}}, or the {{1880|Aeries|Aerians}}, or the {{1880|Sagitaria|Sagittarians}}.
