Starfield Fans Spot Halo Homages on Eridani II Planet

Players discovered a planet in Starfield called Eridani II that closely resembles the planet Reach from Halo, with similar environments.
The planet's presence makes sense since both games use real star systems, but the environments lined up very closely.
Ships in Starfield called "Longswords" look similar to UNSC Longswords in Halo.
The Starfield community often spots references to other sci-fi franchises, like recreating ships from Star Fox and Star Wars.
While not confirmed by Bethesda, many believe Eridani II intentionally pays homage to Halo's Reach.
