Tosk requires only seventeen minutes of sleep 'per rotation'.
   
All Tosk take an oath of silence not to discuss the hunt. The greatest humiliation for a Tosk would be for him to be captured alive and then put on show as an example to others.
   
The Tosk are only sentient because the Hunters made them so.
   
The Hunters' ship emits a type of radiation that disables DS9's shields and have transporter technology.
   
The Hunters' helmets render the Tosk's cloaking technology useless.
   
The Hunters' have a special arm-shield which absorbs incident phaser-fire.
   
Tosk's ship uses coladrium flow for a power source. O'Brien has never encountered the technology before. The ship apparently uses space matter and converts it to fuel.
   
DS9's conduits are constructed from two metre thick duranium composite. O'Brien had never before encountered a scanning device which can penetrate it until the Hunters arrived.
   
Quark's contracts with the Dabo girls contains a clause which legitimizes sexual contact between the proprietor and the girl.
   
This episode gives the distance between Bajor and the Gamma Quadrant as 90,000 light years (cf. 70,000ly in "Emissary".)
   
On average, five or six ships pass through the wormhole every week. Tosk's vessel is the first vessel to arrive from the Gamma Quadrant.
   
Weapons are stored in the habitat ring of DS9 (precisely, level 5, section 3) and require a security clearance of level 7 or above to access them.
   
Odo never uses phasers (as in "Emissary".)
