The story opens with the Ghost docked on the planet Garel, first seen in season one's "Droids in Distress".
This episode marks the return of the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka, voiced by Jim Cummings. He made his debut in the Clone Wars episode Dooku Captured (2009).
Azmorigan mentions that the Rang Clan has a bounty on Hondo Ohnaka's head. This criminal organization was first mentioned in the 2015 novel "Dark Disciple", based on an unfinished Clone Wars story arc.
Hondo's new headgear is a cross between a helmet and a Tricorn 'pirate' hat. When Hondo and his Weequay pirates were first destined for season one of The Clone Wars, they were all depicted wearing traditional pirate hats, as seen in concept art in the book "The Art of Star Wars: The Clone Wars".
