So, in "Conspiracy," Data is instructed to look through all the orders issued by Starfleet to starhips, starbases, and the like for the last six months. This is a cap from one of the images flashed across the screen:
The hell is it??
Also, when Data is explaining to the computer why he was talking to himself: "Thank you, sir. I comprehend." Truly funny.

That is the "Great Bird of the Galaxy", i.e. a bird with Roddenberry's head on it.

Indeed.
That's just after they sneak a couple of FASA designs onscreen.

No one really knows what FASA stands for. FASA just is.

Originally the name FASA was an acronym for "Freedonian Aeronautics and Space Administration", a joking allusion to the Marx Brothers film Duck Soup, though in later years the letters of the name stood for "FAnta Simulations Associates". This tongue-in-cheek attitude was carried over in humorous self-references in its games. For example, in Shadowrun, a tactical nuclear device was detonated near FASA's offices at 1100 W. Cermak Road in Chicago, Illinois. Posted by Mars Needs Women (Member # 1505) on :
Now if we only new what NCC stood for.
