Line 34:
* [[Mistaken Nationality]] / [[I Am Not Weasel]]: Lieutenant Lonnoc Kedair, a Takaran, is mistaken for an Orion simply because her skin is green. She has to point out that "green" does not automatically equal "Orion". Of course, Takarans are a rather reclusive people, while Orions get everywhere.
* [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup]]: Averted with the Ardanan transporter schematics; the Ardanan government kept paper copies as well as computer models. Ironically, the Borg assault on Ardana destroyed it all anyway. Despite this, Starfleet eventually succeeds in rebuilding the transport network.

* [[Villain Team-Up]]: {{spoiler|The Typhon Pact, an alliance of six previously xenophobic and aggressive antagonist cultures, is an unusual example, because most of its members are genuinely interested in peaceful co-existence. While the Tholian Assembly just wants to spite the Federation, on the whole the Typhon Pact is not primarily motivated by hostility; it's far more complex than that. The exact agenda of the Pact was explored further in the [[Star Trek Typhon Pact]] series}}.
* [[Will Not Tell a Lie]]: The Zaldans, who find falsehood of any kind disgusting.
