Whether it's trivia, easter eggs, in-jokes, or historical references, are there other Star Trek references in the games of Looking Glass maybe worth a mention? In Thief II: The Metal Age, we have this one in-game:

Burglary
E. Park Boulevard - burglary of carriage, horses taken; 800
Hawkings Drive - burglary of manor, Gold Crest taken; 2300
Criminal mischief
Gorn Avenue - criminal mischief; 300 damage
Crippled Burrick Pub- criminal mischief, patron thrown through window; 500
Northcrest Road - criminal mischief to collector tower; 250
Millans Drive - criminal mischief to street lamp, 25 damage
And some may not know, but Looking Glass had been working on a Star Trek: Voyager game until a corporate merger saw the project canceled.
Understandably, many fan projects have Trek references, but I'm more interested in how much was injected into the official titles. Was Trek an influence on the games that weren't obviously space sci-fi, or was Trek merely given a tip of the hat?

I'm not much into Star Trek so what exactly is the reference here?
Is it the name "Gorn"?

In that video, I don't know why Kirk bothers to come up with the primitive rocket launcher when he could just use his classic flying drop kick. :confused:
I dunno though, "Gorn" is a pretty short word, it could be anything, I wouldn't exactly say it's an obvious ST reference. I'd suppose I'd be more willing to accept that if there was more than one reference similar to it.

In one of the npc voice sets I thought I heard them whistling part of the DS9 tune.
