The Silver Timeline is not fully divorced from the official ''Halo'' canon, and the alternate continuity is also expected to have some crossover effects back in the main ''Halo'' canon. For example, certain locations or vehicles introduced in the Silver Timeline may also be introduced in the mainline canon, such as Dr. Halsey's ship or the [[WHITE TOWER]] facility on [[Reach]]. However, these locations may have differences in interpretation with the latter's core canon counterpart being notably smaller than that featured in the TV show. Certain designs such as [[High Charity]] have experienced significant visual overhauls from their depiction in the core canon, and certain characters introduced in the TV show - such as Silver Team - do have canon counterparts, though they may be very different in nature. To help better discuss the Silver Timeline, 343 also debuted a new feature on [[Halo Waypoint]] known as "Silver Debrief", as to reduce confusion between the two timelines.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/silver-debrief-a-new-beginning|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Silver Debrief - A New Beginning|D=20|M=03|Y=2022}}
