War correspondence: In the Star Trek episode “Day of the Dove,” the so-called Beta XII-A entity menaced a Starfleet and Klingon crew before they joined forces to drive it off. The Star Trek: The Next Generation trilogy The Q Continuum established that the entity was an old and powerful being. In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “Call to Arms,” the area surrounding the entrance to the wormhole was mined by the DS9 crew shortly before they abandoned the station to the Dominion, thus preventing the latter from summoning reinforcements.

“Night of the Vulture” takes place about the same time as the DS9 episode “Favor the Bold.”
