In the 14th century, the group of humanoid travelers were stranded on the planet Meridian, which intersects two distinct dimensions.
   
Tiron ordered a glass of Andorian ale from Quark's.
   
The Bajoran Military Academy was the place on Bajor where members of the Bajoran Militia were trained.
   
The USS Defiant sent a probe into the corona of the Trialan sun, to investigate its anomalous fusion cycle. After an initial high orbit, the probe managed to descend an additional 1,000 kilometers into the corona to take scans of the star's core.
   
According to Jadzia, Curzon was known to fall in love with someone new every week.
   
First meal is a traditional feast celebrated on the planet Meridian when it returns to normal space after a sixty-year period in a separate dimension.
   
The Trialan sun gave off gamma bursts shortly before Meridian shifted from one dimension into another. This was an indicator of an anomaly in the sun's fusion cycle.
   
Gravimetric distortions were detected in the Trialus system shortly before the dimensional shift of the planet Meridian.
   
Cloaking fields leave behind ionization traces. As the planet Meridian didn't create any such disturbances as it appeared out of nothing, the crew of the USS Defiant was able to determine that the planet had not been cloaked.
   
When Kira Nerys and Odo saw Quark with a holo-imager in 2371, he claimed it was to record an image of the Promenade that he was to send to Ishka.
   
Kandora champagne is a variety of champagne. Quark gave a bottle of 2368 Kandora champagne as a gift to Major Kira Nerys, he said, it was a very good vintage.
   
The Kylata system is a star system in the Gamma Quadrant. One of its planets, Kylata II, is M-class. The system was to be studied by the USS Defiant in 2371, but the ship instead moved to investigate gravimetric distortions in the Trialus system.
   
Last meal was a celebratory feast on the planet Meridian that marked the end of that planet's time in normal space before it transitioned back to another dimension for the next sixty years.
   
Quark offered the holoprogram "A Picnic with the Pleasure Goddess of Rixx" as an alternative to Tiron in 2371 when he found his initial purchase boring. Tiron, however, declined and requested a custom program instead.

According to Jadzia Dax, the key to tongo is "to confront when you're sure you're in a better position than the other players. And if your cards match the roll of the dice, you win."
   
The Trialan sun is the star of the Trialus system, a star system in the Gamma Quadrant. While in orbit of the planet Meridian, the USS Defiant launched a probe into the sun's corona. Probe telemetry revealed that the fusion reactants in the sun's core were out of balance, creating a cascade reaction which caused Meridian to shift between dimensions.
   
Vajhaq was a ball game played on the planet Meridian.
