Trivia

• Originally, series creator Syp The Mighty planned to change the setting and cast of characters per season to depict several outposts across the galaxy. This idea was scrapped during the production of Infinity.
• Guard Duty was almost rebooted at least four times, nearly coming to fruition twice. The first attempt only spawned Annoyances, while a second attempt led to Question and Bagels. These episodes would later be retroactively considered part of Guard Duty Sides with the original series pilot. Attempts to reboot the series after Bagels never made it past the writing stages and were never formally announced, though Syp does still have the scripts and may post them online at some point.
• While Syp does have ideas of what the characters' faces look like, she has yet to post any official designs. She has, however, posted her ideas of what minor villains Molotov and Cocktail look like.
