*The ~~five hundred twelve~~ terawatt energy that is used to power the shield generator of the station is strong enough to repel the collision of a small moon.

*The 512-terawatt energy that is used to power the shield generator of the station is strong enough to repel the collision of a small moon.

*A hierophant, according to Webster's Dictionary is a "priest in ancient Greece; specifically: the chief priest of the Eleusinian mysteries".<ref>[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Hierophant Hierophant on Merriam-Webster]</ref> This may be a reference to the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]] and their role in [[Covenant]] society. Also, the Eleusinian mysteries could be seen as referring to the [[Great Journey]] as both promised salvation to believers and an afterlife.<ref>[[wikipedia:Eleusinian Mysteries|'''Eleusinian Mysteries''' on ''Wikipedia'']]</ref>

*It was here that Linda-058 showed her sniping prowess. Sniping one handed, hanging on a steel cable, she was able to provide covering fire for the other Spartans. She took out four pursuing Banshees by shooting through the tiny crack in between the top and bottom segments where the driver enters, which is impossible in all of the games except in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.
