*In the [[Epilogue]] of ''[[Halo 4]]'', [[Thomas Lasky]] mentions that he grew up "on" New Harmony. While the preposition suggests he is referring to the colony world, it is more likely that he is meant to be referencing the [[New Harmony (city)|city of the same name]] on Mars, which is established to be his homeworld in ''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''; furthermore, it is mentioned in the fourth issue of ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'' that Lasky grew up with [[Petra Janecek]] on Mars, suggesting the use of the preposition "on" was a mistake or that the details of Lasky's background were changed later on in production.
*The colony may have been named after one of the [[Wikipedia:New Harmony|several towns and communities of the same name]] in the United States, or the in-universe city of [[New Harmony (city)|New Harmony]] on [[Mars]].
