*Unlike all other known Covenant vehicles, the Scarab, as well as its smaller counterpart, the [[Type-30 Light Excavation/Anti-Fortification Platform|Locust]], is named after an insect rather than a supernatural entity. Both scarabs and locusts are also poorly regarded for their razing of crops, so the UNSC likely named these vehicles in reference to these factors, as well as because of their insectoid resemblance. | *Unlike all other known Covenant vehicles, the Scarab, as well as its smaller counterpart, the [[Type-30 Light Excavation/Anti-Fortification Platform|Locust]], is named after an insect rather than a supernatural entity.

*During the level ''The Covenant'' in ''Halo 3'', two Scarabs are deployed by the Covenant fleet overhead in order to defend the [[Forerunner Citadel|Citadel]]. However, on the previous level, "[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]", [[Rtas 'Vadum]] states, ''"Truth's fleet lies in ruins."'' It is possible that these are launched by a remaining ship as an unsuccessful final push to win the battle, or could belong to Truth's Dreadnought, which did not participate in the battle. It is also possible that 'Vadum simply meant that Truth's fleet had been tactically defeated, but not completely destroyed; since only the ''Shadow of Intent'' disengages from battle, it is possible that the other ships in Truth's fleet were still fighting the [[Covenant separatists|separatists]]. | *During the level ''The Covenant'' in ''Halo 3'', two Scarabs are deployed by the Covenant fleet overhead in order to defend the [[Forerunner Citadel|Citadel]].
