| ==Production notes== | | ==Trivia== |
| The ''Gladius''-class was first designed by concept artist [[Isaac Hannaford]] for the [[2017]] book ''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]''.{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/N3RRd|Site=ArtStation|Page=Halo: WarFleet|D=27|M=04|Y=2022}} One of the early drafts posted by Hannaford features a disarmed vessel named the ''Carl Sagan''; when designing the ship, Hannaford envisioned the corvette platform as a highly-versatile ship that could be repurposed for science and exploration efforts. As such, the "UNSC ''Carl Sagan''" featured in such artwork was envisioned by Hannaford as a disarmed explorative ship, rather than a warship.{{Ref/Twitter|Isaac_Hannaford|1437845998861107201|Isaac Hannaford|Quote=This ship in particular was before the missiles and railguns were added....so I imagined it as a science vessel, perhaps decommissioned and repurposed. The Corvette platform is nimble and flexible.|D=27|M=04|Y=2022}} The ship's final name may be a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Pale Blue Dot|Pale Blue Dot]]'', a photograph taken at Sagan's request by the ''Voyager 1'' space probe in which Earth appears as a tiny dot against the vastness of space. Sagan additionally supplied reflective commentary on the photograph and its implications for Earth, humanity and the cosmos.
