The husks come out of a large orange hole of some kind on one end of the map, with the movement of machinery and releasing of steam. The device halts above the facility the players play upon, which has a large energy beam that leads up to a large ring around the husk. The beam then decontaminates the husk so Lekgolo worms can be inserted later on. The device gives off a large electric field and the husk shakes wildly. The husks then continue along their way in the same manner as they came into vision, exiting through a blue hole, once again with the movement of machinery and releases of steam.

The production line appears to take place in a lake of green liquid. Although this is possibly water appearing green in the poor lighting, water could be used to power the machinery, possibly with a [[Hydro-Processing Center|Hydro Processing plant]] somewhere out of vision. It is also possible that it is a large basin of coolant (like the green liquid dripping from the large holes in the [[Truth and Reconciliation]] on [[Installation 04]]) used in the production machinery, and possibly in the Scarabs themselves (it can be seen in ''[[Halo 2]]'' that the Scarab's main gun drips a green liquid when firing). It could also be the liquid in which Lekgolo colonies live in. The lake's purpose and composition is unknown, but one thing for certain is that it is quite deep and very large.

The station the player plays on appears to be like an island, isolated, with several devices appearing to repeat Covenant numericals. The island structure is based around a center energy beam in the middle which appears to be the main function of the island.

The crest of the hidden Skull on this map appears to be what looks like that of the [[Lekgolo]] worms referring to the Scarab assembly line in the distance.

*Fog can be seen in the distance if you are far enough away from a structure. Similar fog can be seen on the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level [[High Charity (level)|High Charity]], around the areas with [[The Flood|Flood]], though the fog on Assembly likely has a different origin.

*The codename name of the map, Purple Reign, is of course a tongue-in-cheek reference to the song "[[Wikipedia:Purple Rain|Purple Rain]]" from the artist Prince.

*The blue lines beneath where the Gravity Hammer spawns appear to make up the [[Marathon]] symbol. Also, another Marathon symbol appears in the blue lines inside the tubes at the top floor of either base and the "slopes" around it also make up the marathon symbol.
