* This installment transpires a decade (10 [[Yahren|yahrens]]) after the {{Alt|Battle of Cimtar|TOS-DE}}, and 7 yahrens after the events of {{Comics|vol2|12}}. | |||
* This is the first instance of a Dynamite comic book series acknowledging other prior comic book installments, likely because of Dan Abnett's involvement. Thus many of the characters and situations introduced in {{Comics|vol2}}, namely [[Xam]], [[Breena]] and [[Madusa]], are carried over. | |||

* {{Alt|Jolly|TOS-DE}} appears in this issue, but does not appear in others. | |||
* {{Alt|Greenbean|TOS-DE}}, an early background character, plays a larger part in this story line in the same way that Jolly would have in the past. | |||

* As with other Dynamite installments, visuals from the [[Re-imagined Series]] are interposed, including backgrounds for the [[launch bay]] and ''[[Taurella]]''<nowiki/>'s ship design. | |||

* Despite being a teenager, {{Alt|Boxey|TOS-DE}} wears the same type of clothing (green overalls with a long-sleeved blue shirt) that he did when he was rescued from [[Caprica (TOS)|Caprica]]. While this may be more of a visual aid for the reader, it does portend resource scarcity in {{Alt|the Fleet|TOS-DE}}. | |||
* {{Alt|Cassiopeia|TOS-DE}} is absent from these stories, suggesting that her character is elsewhere and apart from ''{{Alt|Galactica|TOS-DE}}''<nowiki/>'s "inner circle." This would likely explain Starbuck's continued "Devil may care" inclinations, and his continued use of roguish charms, particularly towards [[Breena]] in later issues of the series. | |||
* On the other hand, Starbuck displays great loyalty to his friends, particularly in his vow to Apollo and his continued visitations to [[Xam]] in sickbay. | |||
