Ships
The ships used throughout the picture are near exact copies of the main ships and smaller fighting vessels from Star Trek and Babylon 5, only the names are comically different. The name of Pirk's own ship, the Enterprise-E clone Potkustart, is translated as Kickstart. The Excalibur from Crusade is "renamed" the Excavator. Babylon 5 Starfuries are renamed "Star Flurries", and Earthforce Omega Class Destroyers are referred to as "Amigo Class Destroyers" and bear unlikely homonymous parody names like Backgammon and Appalling (parodies of Agamemnon and Apollo from Babylon 5). Two of the Amigos are named after Finnish military figures, Mannerheim and Ehrnrooth, and one after a hero of Finnish mythology, Ilmarinen. One of the Finnish Navy flagships was also named as Ilmarinen.
