10 Star Trek Easter Eggs & References In Starfield

10. A Stellar Cast

"I guess I can talk about this now" is how Armin Shimerman confirmed to the world that he was the voice of Starfield character Walter Stroud, co-owner of ship manufacturer Stroud-Eklund and "wallet" of Constellation (the game's central space exploration society). If having Shimerman play the money man doesn't get your lobes tingling, I don't know what will.

Walter is certainly a lot more generous in person and in fortune than your average Ferengi, but then again, Quark did have his heart of gold(-pressed latinum) moments. There are also a lot of lines in the game spoken by Walter Stroud that could have been spoken by Quark himself, particularly when arriving at Stroud-Eklund shipyards and hearing the advertising over the tannoy.

From one Station inhabitant to another, Nana Visitor also lends her voice to the game, and she is joined by Voyager's very own Vulcan, Tim Russ. Basically, if you choose the 'Kid Stuff' trait at the very start of Starfield, you can have Kira and Tuvok for parents!

Bethesda has a long history of hiring Trek actors: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion featured none other than Patrick Stewart as Emperor Uriel Septim VII, and Fallout 3 & 4 combined starred Ron Perlman, Malcolm McDowell, Dwight Schultz, Robert Picardo… and Tim Russ! Other Trek alum adding their vocal talents to Starfield include Elias Toufexis (soon to be in Star Trek: Discovery [again]) as Sam Coe, Barry Wiggins (a Jem'Hadar in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and police officer in Star Trek: Voyager) as Barrett, Blu del Barrio (Adira in Discovery) as Dani Garcia, and Gabrielle Ruiz (T'Lyn in Star Trek: Lower Decks) as Nyssa Marcano.
