Trivia[edit | edit source]

The Sydon's name is mostly derived from Poseidon, a Greek ocean deity well known for his powerful trident.
- Alternatively, the Sydon's name may be derived from Sidon, an ancient port city.
The Sydon was used by Shock Dragas long before its official release, and could even be found within WARFRAME's game files.
