Trivia

• The name refers to the Rhine River despite being based on Terra's analogue to the United States of America, Columbia.
• The Rhine Lab logo is identical to that of Arduino's, albeit flipped and slightly modified.
  • 

    The draft for Rhine Lab's logo. Notice the <> which represents an owl's beak.
    According to NoriZC, the logo was originally meant to be resembling an owl with <> representing its beak, which was later removed for artistic reasons.
• All but three of Rhine Lab Operators (Dorothy, Mayer, and Ptilopsis) are illustrated by NoriZC. Excluding Dorothy and Ptilopsis, they are based on elements as can sometimes be seen on NoriZC's personal merchandises:
  • Ifrit is themed around fire.
  • Saria is themed around earth.
  • Silence is themed around grass.
  • Muelsyse is themed around water.
  • Mayer and Magallan are themed around the sun and the moon respectively.
• Because of their close relationship, Rhine Lab Operators are given the nickname "Rhine Lab Family" by the Arknights community.
  • Saria is viewed as a strict father due to her nature as well as being a Vouivre. There are some fan arts where she is instead a silly father who teaches Ifrit all the wrong things and/or unintentionally injures her, which results in Silence punishing Saria in various comical ways.
  • Silence is viewed as a distant mother. Occasionally, the CN community view the relationship between Silence and Saria as divorced parents.
  • Ifrit is the super naughty child in the "family" that often creates troubles.
  • Ptilopsis, Mayer and Muelsyse are Ifrit's "aunts."
  • Magallan is treated as Ifrit's niece. The EN community tends to view her as another aunt.
  • Kristen is viewed as Saria's "ex" by some in the CN community.
• Rhine Lab draws similarities to the Umbrella Corporation in Resident Evil and/or Black Mesa in Half-Life, particularly their questionable scientific activities.
• The date that Project Horizon Arc is launched, November 21st, is when the first hot air balloon travel was launched by Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and François Laurent d'Arlandes, a monumental beginning of aviation researches in Earth.
