It has also been stated that it has some unique characteristics that make Slayer interesting and Infection terrifying.

Trivia
- The name Moonbase Alpha may or may not be a reference to a line said by a character in the Austin Powers movie franchise or from the TV show Spaced.
- It may also be a reference to the moon base featured in Space: 1999 a short-lived (1975-77) science fiction series created by Gerry Anderson for ITC Entertainment. Starring Martin Landau and Barbara Bain, the series concerned the adventures of the occupants of Moonbase Alpha after the moon was blasted out of Earth orbit due to a nuclear explosion. The explosion was caused by an accident involving nuclear waste storage on the moon.
- Bungie mentioned that a memorial dedicated to the inventors of the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine can be found somewhere on the map.
