===Easter eggs===
* The [[Halo Wars Skulls#Catch|Catch skull]] accessible after killing 350 Flood swarms, and can be found on the island in the southeast section of the map, which is only reachable by air units.
* The [[Black Boxes|Black Box]] in this level is located behind Bravo Platoon.
===Miscellaneous===
* The name of the beginning cutscene, "Open Sesame Part 2", is a reference to [[Relic Approach|the first time "open sesame" was said in ''Halo Wars'']], which is muttered by John Forge when he saw the Covenant opening the [[relic]] on [[Harvest]].

* This is the first of the two levels in campaign in which Forge is not present in gameplay, the other being the last level, ''[[Escape]]''. This is likely explained by Forge being onboard the ''Spirit'' as depicted in the opening cutscene. Despite Forge's absence on the ground, in-game characters still referred the ground commander as "Forge" or "Sergeant", though it is possible that Forge is commanding from ''inside'' the UNSC base.
