Behind the scenes
- This story is an homage to Richard Connell's short story The Most Dangerous Game, which spawned numerous similar stories and movies, most notably Hard Target.[source?]
- But, it is also slightly out-of continuity, as it is expressly stated in other Expanded Universe stories (particularly The Courtship of Princess Leia) that the Hapes Consortium does not end their self-imposed three-millennia of isolation until 8 ABY. This brings into question how anyone from the Empire could have steal even a regular Gun of Command any earlier, let alone a prototype Rifle of Command.
