Cultural Allusions
In the popular 1992 science fiction computer game, Star Control II, the player can embark on an optional side quest to Beta Corvi, and meet a sentient alien race who inhabit a gas giant there. This is an obvious homage to the fourth short story from The Ship Who Sang, "Dramatic Mission," in which Helva meets the "Beta Corviki" who live on a gas planet.
