*''Ghosts of Onyx'' is supposedly derived from the song ''[[Ghosts of Reach]]'' on the ''[[Halo 2]]'' Soundtrack.

*Before the confirmation of the book itself, the book's placeholder and showcase online name was "''Ghosts of Coral''". This raised much speculation about the [[I Love Bees]] involvement in the [[Halo]] series.

*The cover of the book displays the three primary armor types worn by the [[Spartan-II]]s and [[Spartan-III]]s. The figure in the left (Presumably [[Kelly-087]], as she did not return to [[Earth]] to receive the upgraded armor as the other Spartans did) wears [[MJOLNIR|MJOLNIR Mark V]] armor. The Center figure (The book reveals this figure to be [[Fredric-104]], [[Will-043]], or [[Linda-058]], though it is likely not Linda, as she would be armed with an SRS-99C [[SRS99C-S2 AMB Sniper Rifle|Sniper Rifle]]) wears the newer [[MJOLNIR Mark VI]] Armor. The figure on the right (revealed to be either [[Kurt-051]] or one of the Spartan-IIIs) wears [[SPI Mark II]] armor.

*During the stage that it was still called ''Ghosts of Coral'', two chapters were cut from the novel for 'pacing reasons' though Nylund has expressed a desire to release these. <ref>http://www.ericnylund.net/2008/02/foul.html</ref>

*''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx'' was the first book in the series to not center around the [[Master Chief]]. However, he did appear in the prologue.

*Fred, Will, and Linda kill the crew of "Bloodied Spirit" by venting the atmosphere, however any Grunts would still be alive due to their breathing systems.
*Both covers feature a Forerunner symbol, although these are bad examples.
*The armor all the way to the right is similar to E.V.A. armor, an armor variant of Halo 3 and is actually SPI armor, a cheaper, stealthier armor.
*It may be possible that there are Forerunner artifacts or an exit out of the shield world. This is supported by the fact that in the Halo Wars shield world there are Forerunner ships. And if the Forerunner did escape to this Shield World when the Array was activated then they would have needed a way to get out.
*If the ''Dusk'' survived and made it back to Earth, they would have most likely reported everybody on Onyx KIA due to witnessing the planet becoming Sentinals and no knowledge of the slipspace field.
*The Forerunner symbol seen on the cover and backside of the book is seen in the terminals on Halo 3.
*It may be possible that Onyx was built after the shield world in Halo Wars was built. This theory can be supported by the fact that the shield world in Halo Wars is infected with Flood. When that happened, the Forerunners might have built another shield world, placed it into slipspace, and then built a sentinal planet around it as a security measure.
