- The Wrath War was fought approximately fifty years earlier, shortly after the Sixth Doctor's departure from Cawdor. As he programmed them to uphold the rule of law no matter what, the Wrath Justice Fleet attacked and invaded any planet which they considered unjust. It is rumoured that they have abducted thousands of people and transported them to the Wrath homeworld which is known as the Shadow Heart.
- According to the bounty hunter Vienna Salvatori, the Doctor is the "most wanted man in the twelve constellations."
- Earlier in his personal timeline, the Doctor met a future version of Vienna on the planet Thagros.
- Horval describes the Magros swamp as smelling like "an Ogron's armpit."
- The Wrath have offered a substantial reward for the capture of Kylo Sorsha.
- Kylo's palace on Thagros is an exact replica of the Sorshan Royal Palace, which was destroyed by Princess Aliona eighty years earlier.
- The Doctor comments that his voice sounds nothing like that of his sixth incarnation.
- The Earth Empire war galleon Trafalgar is the flagship of the Seventeenth Earth Fleet.
