Trivia
- The entire cast of Classic Season 2 reprise their roles, now joined by Classic Season 1 cast members Winter and Firesinopa in new roles as well as Blankslate as Miller.
- This is the first production in which Syp and Revoltge co-wrote every episode together. As such, it is also the first production to credit both Syp and Revoltge as creators, rather than just Syp.
- This is also the first season to feature Cole Vakassian serving as series composer, taking over from Syp and Revoltge.
- During development, this season was referred to as Guard Duty Anniversary, in reference to the remakes of Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, both subtitled Aniversary.
- After the first half premiered, the second half of this season was delayed due to Syp taking the time to learn her new editing program.
- The delay also gave time for composer Cole Vakassian to compose additional tracks for the season, including remasters of the tunes composed by Revoltge and Syp for Classic Season 2.
- While an ensemble cast, Syp considers Geff Rodrigo and Sarah Daws to be the two main characters of this season.
- Originally revealed as a reimagining of Classic Season 1, this season also incorporates elements and characters of Classic Season 2 as well as miniseries WarGames and Major Malfunction all within a singular narrative. As a result, the planned sequel to this season will be a new story rather than a direct reimagining of Classic Season 2.
