Nero is an amalgamation of the same-named emperor from ancient history and Jules Verne's Captain Nemo from "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and "The Mysterious Island". He is thus a self-absorbed commander of the Narada (Nautilus) with second-in-command Ayel (Aronnax) from a lost Romulan (Roman) Empire, seeking revenge against the Federation (England) for the destruction of his home and family with the use of extremely advanced technology. As well, before the Federation is aware of the origin of the distress signals, a fleet is sent, with starship U.S.S. Farragut among them. In Verne's novel, Captain Farragut is in command of the expedition to track the "sea monster" which ends up being Nemo's submarine. Captain Nemo had also been previously taken captive on the prison colony Rura Pentha. Nero had been a prisoner in a Klingon prison, from which Uhura boasts that she has intercepted a transmission. This prison was also identified in Rotta verso l'ignoto (1991) as Rura Penthe.
