	The plot of the episode elaborates on a statement made by Gul Dukat: "On Cardassia, the verdict is always known before the trial begins, and it's always the same." (see "The Maquis, Part II")
	The discussion to which Evek alludes occurred when O'Brien contacted Evek for assistance in exterminating a colony of Cardassian voles that had made its home aboard DS9. At the time, he was credited simply as "Cardassian Officer." (see "Playing God")
	This is the first time we discover that the Cardassians use cosmetic alterations in order to infiltrate their enemies. A later example would be Seska on Star Trek: Voyager whose true identity is revealed in the episode "State of Flux," and Gul Dukat, who masquerades as Anjohl Tennan in Season 7.
	O'Brien states that his position on DS9 is Chief Engineer, although it is Chief of Operations, which he repeatedly states later while he is processed.
	The Cardassian Articles of Jurisprudence were laws governing treatment and rights of prisoners in the Cardassian justice system. These articles included such cautions as: "You have the right to refuse to answer questions, but such refusal may be construed as a sign of guilt."
	Central Prison is a facility on Cardassia Prime. In 2370, Miles O'Brien was taken there after having been arrested by Gul Evek on a charge of giving weapons to the Maquis.
	Conservator is a Cardassian title, vaguely similar to that of a lawyer. In effect, however, it is more equivalent to that of a public defender. The Conservator is not supposed to win a case, but to prepare the criminal for a moving confession of guilt on the floor of the court.
	Gul Evek lost two of his three sons during the Cardassian Wars.
	Minezaki Koto was a Japanese composer in the late 18th century. When Miles O'Brien had angered his wife Keiko by bringing technical literature on their vacation in 2370, he tried to please her by playing some music from Minezaki in the runabout.
	The Petersons were a family who lived on Deep Space 9 in 2370. Miles O'Brien and Keiko O'Brien left their daughter, Molly with the Peterson family when they went on vacation that year. It was humorously suggested that Molly liked the Petersons better than her own parents.
	The USS Prokofiev was a Federation starship that was in service during the late 24th century. The Prokofiev was dispatched to the border of the Cardassian Demilitarized Zone in late 2370, following the arrest of Starfleet officer Miles O'Brien. The Enterprise-D and the Valdemar were also ordered to patrol the border of the DMZ.
	Will Kayden served aboard the Rutledge, as did Raymond Boone until his capture at Setlik III.
	Amongst the casualties of the Setlik III massacre were Captain Maxwell's family, as well as Rutledge crewmembers Will Kayden and Raymond Boone. Boone himself was killed by the Cardassians after being captured. He was replaced by a surgically altered Cardassian operative. He was not revealed as an imposter until 2370.
	Raymond Boone, or rather a Cardassian operative surgically altered to resemble him, settled with his family on Volan III to operate a ladarium mining sluice following his return from Cardassian custody after Setlik III.
