Talk:Halo: Ghosts of Onyx

The trivia is obviously releated espically if the author chose the name of Onyx because he was inspired by one of these:

Trivia

 * Onyx is the name of a women comic book action figure in the Batman Universe. She is the only independent vigilante Batman allows to operate freely in Gotham City.
 * Onyx is also the name of a planet in the Power Rangers Universe where evil elements frequently gather. Conflict is not uncommon, but Onyx is mostly desired as a peaceful place where monsters can get together in a semi-neutral setting
 * There is also a book written by Canadian author Margaret Atwood called Oryx and Crake. In the book the main character recalls how the world was wiped out by a series of human engineered viruses. He is the only known survivor and guardian of a new breed of humans that might be the next step in the evolution of mankind.


 * But I don't see any evidence that it is inspired by any of that. It could just have something to do with the stone. --Dragonclaws 08:23, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Agree with Dragonclaws. Halopedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. -ED 04:23, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Book Excerpt

 * Somebody who knows how to use all the wiki functions should put up a link to the excerpt from the book that was recently released via Amazon. It is both too late and Im not fully sure how to do it. -- 72.128.31.35 07:19, 19 October 2006

Armour
It says "If you look closely at the cover, you see troops wearing Spartan-like armor, but it is not the Mark V or Mark VI armor, thus adding credibility to the Spartan-III prediction" Spartan 3's would wear the latest version of armor so it could be mark 7, or the bubble helmit armor could be a new type designed to be worn be normal merines or ODST's as it said they would need hundreds of willing soldiers    --Climax Viod 20:17, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
