| ==Production notes== | | ===Non-Canon=== |
| [[File:DOA4 Nassau Station.jpg|200px|left|thumb|The interior of ''Nassau Station''.]] | | When the [[Apocalypso]] tumbled into real-space, being carried along in the wake of a freak [[Slipspace]] anomaly due to the activation of a mysterious [[Deep-Space Artifact|Forerunner artifact]], the anomaly intersected ''Nassau Station''; creating a semi-stable "bubble" in the space/time continuum on its way back to the 21st Century. |
| ''[[Wikipedia:Dead or Alive 4|Dead or Alive 4]]'' features [[Nicole-458]] being aboard ''Nassau Station'' when it is sent back in time. According to the non-canon backstory created for the game, when the {{UNSCShip|Apocalypso}} tumbled into real-space, being carried along in the wake of a freak [[Slipspace]] anomaly due to the activation of a mysterious [[Deep-space artifact|Forerunner artifact]], the anomaly intersected ''Nassau Station'', creating a semi-stable "bubble" in the space/time continuum on its way back to the 21st Century. Nicole is trapped in the 21st century, guarding Nassau Station's secrets with anything but lethal force (she realizes killing someone in the past could have dire consequences) and waiting for the "bubble" to collapse and hopefully returning her to the year [[2552]].{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=7349|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Building a Spartan|D=5|M=2|Y=2021}} Due to [[Nicole-458#Canon status|the issues noted in the Nicole-458 article]], this particular appearance of ''Nassau Station'' and Spartan-458 are not considered canon in core canon ''Halo'' universe.

| | For the time being, [[Spartan-458]] is trapped in the 21st century; guarding Nassau Station's secrets with anything but lethal force (she realizes killing someone in the past could have dire consequences) and waiting for the "bubble" to collapse and hopefully returning her to the year [[2552]]. Due to the issues noted in the Spartan-458 article, this appearance of Nassau Station or Spartan-458 are not considered canon in the Halo universe. |
