*Just as New Carthage is named after the ancient city of [[Wikipedia:Carthage|Carthage]], Hannibal Weapon Systems is named in reference to [[Wikipedia:Hannibal|Hannibal]], an infamous Carthaginian warlord who is considered one of the greatest military leaders in history. The company's logo references this fact, as it features two elephants in profile with a mountain peak, referencing [[Wikipedia:Hannibal's crossing of the Alps|Hannibal's crossing of the Alps]] with an army which included war elephants.
