During an engagement with the Covenant on an undefined world,<ref group="note">According to a series of "trading cards" posted on Facebook as part of a promotional campaign for ''Halo Legends'', the battle in ''Homecoming'' takes place on Harvest. However, the same cards also erroneously claim Harvest is Daisy's homeworld, and have other mistakes, such as spelling Sergeant [[Hauser]]'s name as "Howser". In addition, the planet is shown to have moons in ''Homecoming'', whereas Harvest has no natural satellites. The site of the battle in the episode also has a number of visual allusions to Daisy's flashbacks of her homeworld, which could imply the scene takes place on Sargasso and would thus date the battle as late as 2546. This is supported by the opening narration, which states that the [[Outer Colonies]] are already gone at the time, implying the episode takes place after 2535.
