* The [[Diane Duane]] ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' novel ''Dark Mirror'' involves an alien race that's essentially dolphins <small>IN SPACE!</small> (They're not related to the whales <small>IN SPACE</small> from ''Star Trek IV''.)
** The ''Star Trek The Next Generation: Technical Manual'' notes that the Cetacean tanks on board contain the dolphin and whale navigational specialists. This is pretty much shout out to ''Gunbuster'', where cybernetically enhanced dolphins form the main navigational computer of the Eltreum.

** One ''[[Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' novel had a dolphin as a supporting character, which held the rank of commander in Starfleet. At one point, Riker whistles a specific sequence of notes to get its attention, implying he can speak (or at least swear) in Dolphin.
* Duane's ''[[Young Wizards]]'' book series also features Cetacean wizards (the Trek novel contains a [[Shout Out]] to them). Of course, pretty much everyone and everything with more brains than a sponge has Wizarding potential in this setting.
