Yeah, the Loki was a little nod, sort of appropriate to who she
was.

The crew you see on the White Star doesn't reflect those in other
parts of the ship. Also, being fairly advanced, it doesn't require a
big crew in command. You could even fly it single-handedly if it came
to that.

And yes, the historical parallels are definitely there.

No, that wasn't the relationship between her and Zack, much as he
might've wished for it. As for the walkers at sigma 957...the
recognition signal is their name, which is 15,000 letters long (we had
to cut this line for time). So I can't really repeat it here.
