Trivia / Star Trek Deep Space Nine S 02 E 10 Sanctuary

• Prop Recycling: The Skrreean ship is the Talarian freighter model reused from the TNG episode "Heart Of Glory", which itself was cobbled together from models used in the V miniseries and Captain EO.
• Real-Life Relative: Armin Shimerman's wife, Kitty Swink, plays the Bajoran minister. Walter Koenig (Chekov from The Original Series)'s son, Andrew Koenig plays Tumak.
• You Look Familiar:
  • William Schallert, who plays the musician Varani, appeared in the TOS episode "The Trouble With Tribbles" as Nilz Baris.
  • This is Leland Orser's first of four appearances in Star Trek shows.
• What Could Have Been: The original draft of the script had a happier ending for all involved, but the writers felt the script wasn't working. Then it was suggested that things don't work out for the Skrreean's, leading to the Downer Ending seen in the episode.
