Padmé's driver's name, not spoken in the episode, is Hogan Tinmar. Mak Plain is the Banking Clan representative that Padmé and Onaconda visit.

This episode is immediately followed by Season Two's Senate Murders, where Onaconda and Mee Deechi meet their end.

Chata Hyoki is a Selkath alien, a species that first appeared in the 2003 video game, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Established as an aquatic species, Hyoki's chest armor includes misting vents to keep his skin moist.

Teckla Minnau's character name was pieced together over time from multiple sources. Nathan Hamill, the son of Mark Hamill (who played Luke Skywalker), was a Naboo extra in Episode I. He unofficially named his character Rehtul Minnau, but that name did not appear in any continuity. Later, the script to Episode II referred to the server at the Naboo lake retreat as Teckla, but gave her no surname. In 2008, a Starwars.com user with the screen-name ShadowCultist fleshed out Teckla's back-story and gave her the last name Minnau, which is now her last name as spoken in The Clone Wars.

The Coruscant police speeders list their jurisdiction ("Coruscant police sector 417") as well as an emergency contact number, "9-1-1."
