==Trivia==
*[http://facilityb5d.com/forum/index.php Facility B5D] is also the name of a [[Bungie.net]] group and separate forum. The group is based around the Recon armor permutation, but participates and organizes other events not about Recon.  
*It is possible that this facility is a subtle reference to the Australian Special Air Service Regiment, an elite group dedicated to reconnaissance and counterterror operations.
