**The [[ONI memorial]] in ''Halo 3: ODST'' refers to Cole posthumously as a full admiral. However, the memorial is not a wholly reliable source given several other canonical inconsistencies with established media.

*The ''CCS''-class battlecruiser is said to have first been encountered at the Battle of Psi Serpentis in 2543. This contradicts ''Halo Wars: Genesis'', which shows Cole's fleet engaging such vessels in [[2526]]; ''Halo Wars'', in which two ''CCS''-class ships are encountered and identified as such at Arcadia in 2531; [[Data pads|data pad 10]], which states that the [[The Assembly|Assembly]]'s findings about glassing were derived from observing the ''CCS'' class in 2526; and ''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide'' and the ''Halo Encyclopedia'', which state that vessels of the class were encountered frequently throughout the war.

*It is stated that Tom and Lucy had ''"gone through countless hours in zero-G, both in training and in combat, but they'd usually been wearing Mjolnir armor while doing so."''<ref>'''Halo: Fractures''', ''"Lessons Learned"'', ''page 5'' (Google Play edition)</ref> It is improbable that Tom would regard the use of Mjolnir armor a "usual" occurrence in training or combat situations, as he would have been far more used to using [[SPI armor]] for most of his career. While it is likely that he and Lucy were trained to wear Mjolnir armor following their assignment to the Spartan branch, the story implies that they had been serving solely as instructors following the events of ''[[Halo: Last Light]]'', and does not otherwise mention them participating in combat after the mission on Gao, during which they still wore SPI armor.
