References

The Doctor considers the Last Great Time War to be cruel and senseless.
The Doctor claims to be a tourist.
The Doctor mentions that he trained with Musashi to swordfight.
All Sontarans are aware of the Doctor and the TARDIS.
Sarana has two sons who were taken in battle.
Drakkis' sector of space was contaminated by temporal flux, which occurs when the effects of the Time War enter real time. The Sontarans' battle computers indicate that, prior to the alteration of history, Drakkis had been at peace for its entire existence. Other planets have suffered the same. The effects are irreversible.
The Doctor comments that he felt undressed without his sonic screwdriver.
Jask was once known as "Jask the Foe Slayer".
Drakkis has no strategic value to the Sontarans.
Incinerators are kept on Sontaran ships to dispose of dead soldiers.

Notes

Notably, this is the only story in the Classic Doctors, New Monsters series that features enemies from the Classic era, as the Sontarans made their debut during the Third Doctor's tenure. However, this is justified by having these Sontarans be a clone batch from the Time War, an element of the New Series.
