Just as the original Dune (1984) co-starred Patrick Stewart who later became the lead actor of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), this video game spin off has Michael Dorn, another TNG regular. Musetta Vander, Vincent Schiavelli, Nicholas Worth, Jack Orend, and Adrian Sparks, who appear in this game, have all appeared in TNG and/or one of its spin offs as well.
