The existence of this contractor is not mentioned in dialogue, but is derived from the text of the starship dedication plaques and display graphics. It is a reference to the film The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension! (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, 2nd ed., p. 92), which, in turn, took the name from Thomas Pynchon's novels V. and The Crying of Lot 49.
