*Several details and characters in the novel, originally planned to be included by Troy Denning, were changed at 343 Industries' request. For one, Denning originally planned to include twenty Spartan-IIs, but was told by 343 Industries to reduce their number, resulting in a squad of twelve Spartans in the final novel. Likewise, General Harper Garvin's role was originally to be filled by [[Howard Graves]], originally featured in ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''. Finally, Denning's early drafts envisioned Castor's Jiralhanae companion as [[Atriox]] rather than Orsun, as ''[[Halo: Retribution]]'' had suggested the two had served together in the Bloodstars during the war.<ref>[https://haloconversationalists.wordpress.com/2018/10/03/episode-71-troy-denning-interview/ ''Halo Conversationalists: Episode 71 - Troy Denning Interview'']</ref> | |||
