Author's notes

Hi and thanks for checking out this fan fiction! These are just some notes or commentaries on episodes, characters and ships within the series; adding at random as they come to me.

Star Trek: Phoenix-X:
  • The series was started by two people, DL and Hawku. DL left in mid-Season 1. 
  • Starting off as role play, with sections by each writer merged into one episode, as the season continued on, the method changed into full episodes being written by each writer.
  • Commander Night Gotens (later Night Seifer) was role-played by Hawku.
  • Captain Daniel (later Cell) was role-played by DL.
  • Previously, characters were presented as artwork on the website, created by Hawku. 
  • Fan-captured CG images of starships and characters, used on this website, are derived from Star Trek Online.
  • A more comprehensive database of characters, ships, listings and background information can be found at the Star Trek Expanded Universe wiki.
Episodes:
  • The "alien of the week" for Episodes 90 and onward were chosen through a random number generator website based on the number of episodes were in a Trek series. The random number that was run was matched with the episode number of the chosen Trek series, and which ever alien from that canon episode was focus, became the alien of focus on the PNX episode. The Trek series being selected from started with TOS at Episode 90, and TNG at Episode 91 and so on.
  • Star Trek: Reloaded was named after The Matrix Reloaded.
  • The "Remake" addendum to the titles for the rewrite episodes starting in Season 6 is a reference to the Final Fantasy VII Remake video game.
  • Trek BBS 4 title "I Ain't Callin' You a Truther" is a reference to the line delivered by character Josh Nichols (played by Josh Peck) in the 2004 kids sitcom Drake & Josh after character Drake Parker (played by Drake Bell) asks "Are you calling me a liar?"
