*The headdresses worn by [[Sangheili]] [[Councilor]]s closely resemble the Alien Queen's head, albeit smaller and narrower. In addition, both ''Halo''<nowiki/>'s [[Covenant]] and ''Aliens''<nowiki/>' titular species have caste systems. Whereas the Covenant's is based primarily on race and religion, the Aliens' is based on their different life stages and host species. | *The headdresses worn by [[Sangheili]] [[Councilor]]s closely resemble the Alien Queen's head, albeit smaller and narrower.

In ''[[Halo: Nightfall]]'', the rocky, almost desolate terrain of [[Installation 04]] has multiple visual similarities to the surface of LV-426 in ''Alien'' and its sequel ''Aliens''. However, the terrain has a more significant resemblance to the surface of LV-223 in the film ''[[wikipedia:Prometheus (2012 film)|Prometheus]]'', which is set around 20 years before the events of ''Alien''. Coincidentally, ''Halo: Nightfall'' is produced by the director of ''Alien'' and ''Prometheus'', [[wikipedia:Ridley Scott|Ridley Scott]]. | In ''[[Halo: Nightfall]]'', the rocky, almost desolate terrain of [[Installation 04]] has multiple visual similarities to the surface of LV-426 in ''Alien'' and its sequel ''Aliens''.
