-The Kaskaskia River is a tributary of the Mississippi River, which runs through central and southern Illinois where [[Colin Toenjes]] grew up.  When developing ideas for the '''[[USS Khai Tam (fictitious vessel)#Technical Manual|Technical Manual]]''', Colin and author [[Kevin McNulty]] decided to name each of the two runabouts after a river by where they grew up.  Colin's pick of the Kaskaskia was a well thought out choice.

 It became common after that to start referring to Kevin's car as the ''Santa Ana'' and Colin's as the ''Kaskaskia'', especially on away missions when both would be in caravan.  When Colin left, he said that he was taking the ''Kaskaskia'' with him literally and figuratively.  From that day, the ficticious ''Khai Tam'' never again embarked the ''Kaskaskia''.  The replacement runabout turned out to be the ''Ichetuknee'', though no one's sure if Kevin actually told anyone that.
