I was just looking through the transcript of the online chat with Larry Nemecek and Geoffrey Mandel that startrek.com did recently, and I noticed this bit:

quote:
Q: Larry, what is your favorite behind-the-scenes anecdote from TNG?
noodle7

LN: (Overwhelmed look on his face) Ahhh, here's where I should have my sound bites ready! Okay, here's one. This is from the 4th Season, which would be '91, but I didn't know about it for 7 years. Jeri Taylor (former Exec Producer for all you newbies) told me 7 years later, that she jumbled the letters in my name from my old TNG Concordance on her desk, and named the junkie alien freighter "Nenebek" from "Final Mission" after me. What an honor! No crew name, no planet, just a crappy ship that nearly kills Picard. : )

Someone was saying something similar a while back in one of my Shiplist threads, but everyone dismissed it because Nemecek hadn't worked on the show at the time "Final Mission" was done. But here, we have the real story. Just thought it was kinda cool.

The rest of the chat is pretty uninteresting, but you can see the full transcript here.
