Trivia
- The sign on the Tterrab Industries building seen in the level Template:Levelname in Halo 2 originally read "Askloun".[5] The name would later appear in Halo 3: ODST, only slightly changed.
- In Halo 3: ODST, the company is only referred to as "Asklon". Their posters can be seen throughout the city, including all the accessible buildings in Mombasa Streets and even the NMPD Headquarters.[1] It is possible that Asklon is either what the letter "A" in the title means, or a subdivision of the company.
- The logo looks similar to the icon for the Junior Detective Achievement in Halo 3: ODST.
- AMG may be a reference to AM General, a real world company that produces the HMMWV or Humvee, though it may also be a reference to the Mercedes-Benz owned AMG (Aufrecht Melcher Großaspach) tuning and racing division.
