*The billboard above the rooftop lists [[Elysium City]] (on Eridanius II), [[New Albany]], and [[Casbah]] (on Tribute, site of the Majestic map "Landfall"), possibly as the sites of other construction projects. This implies that the cities' respective planets were reterraformed after being glassed.
Skyline features the only appearance of the [[AV-14 Hornet]] in ''[[Halo 4]]''. It serves as an indestructible piece of background scenery.
*[[Lethbridge Industrial]] either supplied materials, or was a company responsible for construction of the tether.<ref>'''Skyline (level)''' - ''Lethbridge Industrial branded walls and advertisement boards</ref>
*Signs found in the level indicate that it takes place on the 512<sup>th</sup> level. Assuming the floors start at ground level and are of dimensions similar to modern skyscrapers, this would make the level more than two and a half times as high as the [[wikipedia:Burj Khalifa|Burj Khalifa]], or more than 2 kilometers (1.24 miles) high.
