Continuity
This series shares narrative connections with the flash fiction short Spirit of Bloody Fire. Cutter. Bloody hell. from the Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide, where an event from the short is expanded upon in Halo: Smoke and Shadow.
The series also contains a narrative link to Halo Wars, as the series' story starts with a character hunting for the ship.
This series also acts as a soft-sequel to Halo: Primordium as Halo: Renegades follows up on 343 Guilty Spark after he captured the UNSC Rubicon.
