==Production notes==
The [[#Frigate-like|frigate-like ship]] was originally created by a Halo fan named "calamitySi" under the name "UNSC Frigate Nevada".{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.deviantart.com/calamitysi/art/Halo-UNSC-Frigate-Nevada-Spec-Sheet-320358405|Site=DeviantArt|Page=Halo UNSC Frigate Nevada: Spec Sheet|D=08|M=02|Y=2021}} Concept art for a ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' cutscene featured the ship design before it was cut.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Z19dN|Site=ArtStation|Page=Wardenlight Studio - Halo Wars II - Unused scene.|D=08|M=02|Y=2021}}

The [[#Cruiser-like|cruiser-like ship]] featured in ''Halo: Escalation'' was originally a fan design, whom one such model was created by Benjamin Layne as a fan model for the canon {{Class|Valiant|super-heavy cruiser}}, whom a canon design for the ''Valiant''-class would debut in ''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]'' several years later.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/6e19530b0d87bf12507ec4c407fe5ff6/UNSC-Valiant-Class-Super-Heavy-Cruiser?hl=pl|Site=3D Warehouse|Page=UNSC Valiant-Class Super-Heavy Cruiser|D=08|M=02|Y=2021}} A similar looking ship to it was seen in the ''Halo: Fall of Reach'' comic series, although this was based on a model created by V3l0 for the Operation: HOMEFRONT mod.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.moddb.com/mods/halo-homefront/images/unsc-supercarrier|Site=ModDB|Page=UNSC Supercarrier|D=25|M=06|Y=2023}}
