 *The class potentially is named after either [[Wikipedia:Charon (mythology)|Charon]], a minor god who ferried the souls of the dead to the underworld in Greek mythology, or after a [[Wikipedia:Charon (moon)|natural satellite]] of [[Pluto]].
-*The ''Charon'' class' distinctive, oversized cargo bay resembles that of the eponymous [[firefly:Firefly-class transport ship|''Firefly'' class]] from the television series ''[[firefly:Firefly|Firefly]]''. This was likely intentional, as the most notable ''Charon''-class frigate depicted in the series, ''UNSC Forward Unto Dawn'', first appeared in Halo 3, which was also when Nathan Fillion, who portrayed Captain Malcolm Reynolds in ''Firefly'', joined the Halo voice cast, and whose Halo 3 character is named [[Gunnery Sergeant Reynolds]].
 *The ''Forward Unto Dawn'' was [[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|drastically redesigned]] in ''[[Halo 4]]'', including a restructured hull and the addition of several point defense guns. Though [[343 Industries]] writer [[Jeff Easterling]] has clarified that the ''Charon''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s original design is canon,<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-have-s-moa '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Canon Fodder - Have S'moa'']</ref> the redesign served as the basis of the {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 192''</ref>
