| ==Inconsistencies==
| |
| *When the colony is first mentioned in [[The Fall Of Reach]], it is described by Admiral Stanforth as having “a population of approximately 3 million”. This was later revised to ~300 thousand in [[Halo: Contact Harvest]]
| |
| *There is also ambiguity as to whether the planet was truly [[glassed]] by [[The Covenant]] in 2525. Typically, a planet that has been glassed is left a barren, uninhabitable wasteland with no atmosphere. Yet, Admiral Cole lost several ships and spent almost 6 years fighting to regain this supposedly-dead world. It seems unlikely that such an operation would be undertaken if Harvest was destroyed, unless Cole’s forces simply intended to engage and defeat any Covenant force, and Harvest was simply the site of the battle. However, recent trailers for [[Halo Wars]] seem to suggest that Harvest was devastated, but not glassed. The atmosphere is breathable, the poles are still frozen enough to allow snow to fall and battles take place in ruined human settlements.
| |
| *Prior to [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], there is no indication that there were ''any'' Harvest colony survivors or that [[Avery Johnson]] was among them.
| |
| *Little information regarding the [[Jiralhanae]] on Harvest seems to have made it back to the [[UNSC]], as they are still considered a new Covenant race when encountered on the [[Unyielding Hierophant|''Unyielding Hierophant'']] in 2552
