*This chapter is an adaptation of the mission "".
*The title of the chapter was originally stylized as "War Is Good For Business". The word "for" was later changed to lowercase to conform with the AP capitalization style.
*This chapter received a comprehensive revision in 2020. The major changes are as follows:
**The opening scene is extended, and two of the characters have been renamed (Liza Fré is now named Délia Molnár and Rhez Keaeling is now named Rendek).
**Davis is written as a more nuanced antagonist.
**Elisa now appears in the chapter and takes Tala's position at tactical. The latter now serves exclusively as the executive officer under Davis.
**Lenerea is not dismissed from the like in the original, though Davis still does initially try to dismiss her.
**A scene with Jason and his parents has been merged with an earlier scene where he arrives at their apartment.
**Jason reveals more of his reasons for stepping away from the front lines with his mother.
**The stardate has been moved from (1 March 2409) to (21 March 2409).
**Cleveland's role is given to a new character, Thiral, though Cleveland is still mentioned in dialogue.
**A completely new scene has two "specialists" transport over from Starbase 114. One of them is "Jules Vanden" (renamed Blaise Moreau) from . This fixes the plot hole of him appearing out of nowhere in that chapter.
**The dinner scene at the Fredricks residence is extended. Thomas' character is given some more nuance, and he and Jason part on less antagonistic terms than in the original.
**Tala now directly confronts Davis about his recklessness after the battle with the Nausicaans.
**Mok reveals that Thiral was an accomplice in his theft and that Thiral is working for the Orion Syndicate.
**Jason's conversation with Mack has been changed drastically. More focus has been put on Jason's life since graduating Starfleet Academy and on the war itself. Jason's motivation for visiting Quinn in "Treasure Trading Station" is also slightly different now. He now intends to ask about the beginnings of the Federation-Klingon War and why Starfleet is fighting.
**Before recording his personal log, Davis contacts Thiral and blackmails him into letting him keep the kemocite for his own use.
**The stardate given by Davis for his personal log has been changed from (4 March 2409) to (24 March 2409).
