For example, in the episode ''Homecoming'', [[Daisy-023]] is depicted as wearing a helmet that resembles that of the MJOLNIR CQB variant during the [[Harvest campaign]] in [[2531]]. However, the CQC variant, the precursor to the CQB variant, entered service in 2548 and was developed using feedback from the [[Battle of Jericho VII]], which occurred in 2535; thus, it is impossible for the CQB variant to have been in use seventeen years earlier. | ||
