The artwork produced heavily featured the UNSC ''Frontend'', a stand-in ship for the ship that would be featured in gameplay, named after a term in game development and software engineering which means the user-facing portion of a system. The placeholder ship is described as an "''M''-class carrier" and has a registry of "18384973-YU". The ship was constructed in the "Outer Sol Docks" and was captained by "Captain Steve". Another concept piece labels the year as [[2567]], adding that the ship is in "Low Ark Orbit" and at Alpha Centauri. All of these details are almost certainly placeholders, serving as a proof of concept rather than being representative of the story and lore of the pitched game. | The artwork produced heavily featured the UNSC ''Frontend'', a stand-in ship for the ship that would be featured in gameplay, named after a term in game development and software engineering which means the user-facing portion of a system.

Visually, the ship is a [[Wikipedia:Kitbashing|kitbash]] of various existing ''Halo'' ship designs, likely done to save time during the concept art process. It uses the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} as a base, with elements grafted onto it from various other designs, including the {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate}}, the {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}} and the fan-made "[ | Visually, the ship is a [[Wikipedia:Kitbashing|kitbash]] of various existing ''Halo'' ship designs, likely done to save time during the concept art process.
