| |
| *On [[Burial Mounds]], you can see wreckage from [[Installation 04]] falling into the atmosphere and burning up.
| |
| *Originally, the level [[The Arbiter (Level)|The Arbiter]] was supposed to take place on the moon Basis, instead of the [[Gas Mine]] on Threshold.
| |
| *In the first cinematic of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', as the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]'' is hit by several [[Plasma Torpedoes]] and the camera pivots around the ''Pillar'', you can catch a glimpse of the blue moon ''Basis''.
| |
| *When Basis is seen in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', it is just a picture of Mars, tinted blue.
