| *The Halos are remarkably similar to the eponymous megastructure of [[Wikipedia:Larry Niven|Larry Niven's]] ''[[Wikipedia:Ringworld|Ringworld]]'' series. However, Niven's Ringworld encircles a large star, whereas the Halos merely orbit planets, being much smaller than the former. The Halos are also very similar to the [[Wikipedia:Orbital (The Culture)|Orbitals]] from [[Wikipedia:Iain M. Banks|Iain M. Banks']] ''Culture'' series, though considerably smaller.

| *In a ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' [[Pre-Xbox Halo|prototype]], Installation 04 had a section that was only partially constructed. This feature was dropped from the final game, though it inspired the design of the second Installation 04.

| *The Prophet of Mercy once referred to the Halo Array's pulse as a divine wind.<ref name="Icon"/> This is a literal translation of ''[[Wikipedia:Kamikaze|kamikaze]]'', suicide attacks carried out by Japanese pilots against Allied vessels near the end of World War II. ''Kamikaze'' aviators were willing to give their lives based on their fanatical devotion to defend [[Wikipedia:Hirohito|Emperor Hirohito]] and the state. This is mirrored by the Covenant's quest to activate the Halos and commit holy war in deference to their gods.
