1. A shelter system, comprising: a collapsible shelter comprising: a number of vertical support legs extending substantially perpendicular to a collapsible truss section interconnecting the number of vertical support legs;a foot plate at a distal end of a first vertical support leg from the collapsible truss section;a canopy over the collapsible truss section secured to the collapsible shelter, wherein the canopy includes: an arcuate interface continuously spanning from the distal end of the first vertical support leg to a distal end of an adjacent second vertical support leg, and wherein the arcuate interface spans within a vertical plane substantially parallel to an entire length of the first vertical support leg when fully extended; andan integrated retention plate portion of the canopy that is configured to releasably engage between the foot plate and a ground surface; anda connection member to connect the canopy to a separate self-supporting tent structure by engaging with the entire arcuate interface, wherein the connection member includes a flysheet portion separate from the separate self-support tent structure, wherein the flysheet portion is configured to fully cover a top of the self-supporting tent structure and to encompass a portion of each of a plurality of sides of the self-supporting tent structure. 2. The shelter system of claim 1, wherein the canopy includes a leg spanning portion to span the canopy from the collapsible truss section to a distal end of a corresponding vertical support leg of the number of vertical support legs. 3. The shelter system of claim 2wherein the footplate has an area larger than an area of the corresponding vertical support leg;wherein the releasable engagement between the foot plate and the ground surface provides tension to the canopy along the leg spanning portion when the shelter is erect, and wherein the retention plate has an area larger that the area of the vertical support leg. 4. The shelter system of claim 1, wherein the arcuate interface is releasably engageable with the connection member continuously along the arcuate interface. 5. The shelter system of claim 1, wherein the connection member is configured to connect the canopy to the arcuate interface of a second canopy secured to a second collapsible shelter. 6. The shelter system of claim 1, wherein the arcuate interface is one of a plurality of separate arcuate interfaces along a first side of the canopy, spanning between a first vertical support leg and an adjacent second vertical support leg, and wherein each of the plurality of separate arcuate interfaces is releasably engageable with the connection member. 7. The shelter system of claim 1, wherein the shelter system has a first geometry and the separate self-supporting tent structure has a second distinct geometry. 8. A shelter system, comprising: a collapsible shelter comprising: a number of vertical support legs extending substantially perpendicular to a collapsible truss section interconnecting the number of vertical support legs;a foot plate at a distal end of a first vertical support leg from the collapsible truss section;a canopy secured at a first end of each of the number of vertical support legs distal to the collapsible truss section by an integrated retention plate portion of the canopy that is configured to releasably engage between the foot plate and a ground surface, wherein the canopy includes: an arcuate interface substantially parallel to the number of vertical support legs and spanning continuously along the entire length of the number of vertical support legs; anda first plurality of releasable engagement mechanisms collectively spanning continuously along the entire length of the arcuate interface; anda connection member, releasably engageable, via a second plurality of releasable engagement mechanisms complementary to the first plurality of releasable engagement mechanisms, continuously along the arcuate interface of the canopy substantially parallel to the number of vertical support legs, providing a connection to a separate self-supporting tent structure, wherein the connection member includes a tent flysheet that is distinct from and outside of a fabric shell of the self-supporting tent structure, and wherein the tent flysheet is configured to fully cover a top of the self-supporting tent structure and to encompass a plurality of sides of the self-supporting tent structure. 9. The shelter system of claim 8, wherein the separate self-supporting tent structure is a dome tent supported by a number of supporting rods independent from the shelter. 10. The shelter system of claim 8, wherein the first plurality of releasable engagement mechanisms comprises two releasable engagement mechanisms, wherein each one of the two releasable engagement mechanisms includes a first end at an apex of the arcuate interface and a second end at a terminus of the arcuate interface at an end of a respective vertical support leg. 11. The shelter system of claim 8, wherein the first plurality of releasable engagement mechanisms and the second plurality of releasable engagement mechanisms include zipper mechanisms. 12. The shelter system of claim 11, wherein the tent flysheet comprises a water repellant material configured to protect a breathable roof of the separate self-supporting tent structure from water permeation. 13. A shelter system comprising: a canopy comprising: a base portion configured to be supported by a collapsible frame including a number of vertical support legs extending substantially perpendicular to a collapsible truss interconnecting the number of vertical support legs,a foot plate at a distal end of a first vertical support;an interface configured to releasably engage a connection member, wherein the interface spans within a vertical plane substantially parallel to the number of vertical support legs; andan integrated retention plate portion of the canopy that is configured to releasably engage between the foot plate at a distal end of a first vertical support leg and a ground surface; andthe connection member comprising: a flysheet portion, distinct from and outside of a fabric shell of a self-supporting tent structure separate from the shelter, configured to fully cover a top of the self-supporting tent structure and to encompass a portion of each of a plurality of sides of the self-supporting tent structure, andan extension portion configured to releasably engage the interface by engaging with the entire interface within the vertical plane substantially parallel to an entire length of the number of vertical support legs. 14. The shelter connection system of claim 13, wherein: the interface includes at least four separate and opposing interfaces; andthe connection member is permanently joined to the self-supporting tent. 15. The shelter connection system of claim 13, further comprising a sidewall member configured to releasably engage the interface and form an openable barrier between adjacent vertical support legs of the shelter. 16. The shelter connection system of claim 13, wherein the base portion is configured to attach to a number of foot plates at a distal end of a pair of adjacent vertical support legs to form an arcuate opening between the pair of adjacent vertical support legs. 17. The shelter connection system of claim 16, wherein the interface comprises at least two releasably engageable portions located along the periphery of the arcuate opening. 18. The shelter connection system of claim 17, wherein the extension portion is configured to releasably engage continuously along the entire length of the at least two releasably engageable portions of the interface.
