List of rectified inconsistencies in the Halo series: Difference between revisions

*The novel establishes [[Harvest]] as humanity's most distant [[human colonies|colony world]], further stating that the planet is six weeks away from the nearest colony, [[Madrigal]], and two months from [[Reach]].<ref name="ch32">'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 32''</ref> It is stated that Harvest is situated in the [[Epsilon Indi system]], which is only 12 lightyears from Earth. This would place Harvest only 1.5 lightyears further from Earth than [[Epsilon Eridani]], the heart of the [[Inner Colonies]], and significantly closer than many other colony systems which have not been specifically mentioned as being particularly distant (e.g. [[111 Tauri]], [[Lambda Serpentis system|Lambda Serpentis]], and [[Zeta Doradus system|Zeta Doradus]]). This is rectified by [[Catalog#Trivia|Catalog]], who claims this discrepancy is the result of both the fundamentally different geometry of slipstream space (resulting in a longer ''de facto'' distance), as well as propaganda during humanity's colonial expansion period supposedly labeling Harvest as the most distant colony even if this was not strictly true.<ref name="catalog14"/>
