==Trivia==
*The Vestian Outpost gets its name from the minor planet [[Wikipedia:4 Vesta|4 Vesta]]. It is the second largest body in the [[Wikipedia:Asteroid Belt|Asteroid Belt]] and, at roughly 326 miles in diameter, is one of the largest asteroids in the [[Solar System]]. The [[Wikipedia:Vesta family|Vestian family]] of Asteroids, a cluster of some 235 core bodies with thousands of smaller members are designated as "[[wikipedia:V-type asteroid|V-type asteroids]]" or "vestoids", which are the result of two separate impacts on 4 Vesta's southern hemisphere approximately 1 and 2 billion years ago. The Vestian Outpost is located either on or nearby the "sunward side" of one of the vestoids.
*Like the [[Tower]], the Vestian Outpost contains a ball that players can interact with. The ball is ostensibly a [[Servitor]]'s core (possibly the core of the heavily modified and visibly hollow [[Warden]] used by Variks to oversee the [[Prison of Elders]]), and will light up and make Servitor noises when kicked and while in motion. If the core is kicked fast enough, it will begin to emit a trail of purple light.
*On the ground near the Postmaster is a switch that will activate and deactivate the lamp on the table next to the Postmaster.
*An unfinished version of the Vestian Outpost appeared in various pre-alpha trailers. This version of the Outpost had various Fallen patrolling the area, but took place in third-person perspective.
*There are a total of three [[Dead Ghost]]s in the Outpost. They can be found:
**On the roof of [[Variks]]' hut. Climb the nearby crates or, more daringly, the railing to get on top;
**On a scaffold hanging between the walkway intersection where [[Brother Vance]] is found. Don't jump, just walk between the railing and you'll drop down;
**And on the far right corner, above ground level. Climb up the debris on the right side and follow the contour of the wall to reach it.

Note the differences from the final version (missing catwalk and staircases, no vendors, no Reef ships, different scenery). A lone Fallen can also be seen in the bottom left corner.
