Skull
The crest of the hidden skull on this level appears to be the Covenant, Mark of Shame. Judging by this seems the level will have a Covenant environment or the Flood controlled High Charity.

Trivia

 * The term "Heretic" is used by the Covenant Loyalists to refer to the Covenant Separatists, hinting that this map may feature Covenant Separatist structures.
 * Getting a Sword Spree medal on this map earns the player the 'Blades of Fury' achievement.
 * It is rumored that this map may be a remake of Midship, a previous Halo 2 Map. There has been no confirmation from Bungie on the matter, however bungie has never denied or supported a Midship remake, only that Assembly was not a direct remake, just very similar in design and layout.
 * It has also been speculated that it could be based on the level The Arbiter, or The Heretic from Halo 2, as the gas station featured in that level was controlled by the Heretics.
 * An unconfirmed description of the map supports the idea of a Midship Remake: "Because of its speed and luxury, the Pious Inquisitor has become an irresistible prize during these dark times." 2-8 players. The Pious Inquisitor being the Covenant ship that Midship took place on.
 * The fact that there is an achievement to score a sword spree on the map suggests that it is either a small or medium sized map. This may also be an homage to Midship.
