The artwork produced heavily featured the UNSC ''Frontend'', a stand-in ship for the ship that would be featured in gameplay, named after a term in game development and software engineering which means the user-facing portion of a system. The placeholder ship is described as an "''M''-class carrier" and has a registry of "18384973-YU". The ship was constructed in the "Outer Sol Docks" and was captained by "Captain Steve". Another concept piece labels the year as [[2567]], adding that the ship is in "Low Ark Orbit" and at Alpha Centauri.
