| There are also several references to Errera in the ''Halo'' games. There is a character, [[C. Errera|Corporal C. Errera]], named after him in the ''[[Conversations from the Universe]]'' booklet. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', [[Club Errera]], a nightclub in [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]], is named in reference to Claude. Also, the [[Tribute Room]] in the level [[The Package]] contains a terminal dedicated to him and HBO.
