Noticed a Tie-In, the Other day, was watching, Ent episode 'Twilight' where Archer gets hit by the anomaly, and has the parasites in his brain.

The earth refugees were on the 5th planet of the Ceti Alpha system.


Where did Kirk maroon KHAN? [gets you to thinking HUH]

I like this quote from memory-alpha

"The choice of this planet as the location of the last human colony was something of a "cruel joke" on the part of writer Mike Sussman. Even if the human survivors managed to escape detection by the Xindi, their planet will be made uninhabitable in a little over a hundred years when Ceti Alpha VI explodes, as explained in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. (Information provided by Mike Sussman) "

Oh those crazy Writers.

Also this episode was inspired by a leaked script of the nuBSG Pilot.

"Enterprise shepherding a "rag-tag fugitive fleet" to a new home after the destruction of Earth was an homage by writer Mike Sussman to Battlestar Galactica. Sussman had read a bootlegged copy of the pilot script for the re-imagined series prior to writing "Twilight". (Information provided by Mike Sussman)"


Edit:

WOK reference in this episode, a Earth Colony was destroyed in the Mutara system
