| | The '''Core Room Antechamber''' was a massive chamber located in the center of the [[Forerunner]] construct [[Onyx]], serving as the only enterance to [[Shield World]]. It was extensive, and had a bright white glow. |
| The '''core room antechamber''' was a massive chamber located at the center and core of the [[Forerunner]]-constructed world [[Onyx]]. The antechamber served as the only entrance to [[Shield World 006]], sheltered in a [[slipspace]] rift within Onyx's core. Upon the powering up of the [[Halo Array|Halos]], the antechamber was reachable by and via specific [[slipspace translocation|Slipstream translocation]] [[teleporter|devices]]; however, the core room is only accessible for a short time and duration after the Halos are primed.<ref name="GoO">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page ??''</ref> | |

| The actual portal to the shield world was itself in the center of a large stepped structure within the antechamber, which [[Franklin Mendez|SCPO Mendez]] compared to Hell in Dante's ''[[Inferno]]'', although [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] noted that Hell in ''Inferno'' was a pit of ''descending'' rings. Following the priming of the Halos, the structure would gradually 'flatten' until it became level with the ground. At this point, the entrance to the shield world would be sealed.{{Ref/Reuse|GoO}}
| | Following the activation of the [[Halos]], the Core Room Antechamber would become accessable via several teleporters on the Forerunner ruins around the world. They would transport the user to the Core Room Antechamber, which contained a large hill made of ascending steps. Gradually, the steps would descend, making the hill shorter and shorter until it was level with the ground. At this point, the entrance to Shield world, which was at the center of the hill, would close forever. |

| The antechamber was the site of a desperate rearguard and strategic action by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]]s and [[SPARTAN-III Program|Spartan-III]]s led by [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Kurt Ambrose]] against [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant]] forces under [[Fleet Master]] [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] during the [[Onyx Conflict]] in [[2552]]. The antechamber was destroyed when Kurt Ambrose detonated [[FENRIS nuclear warhead]]s within, sacrificing himself to deny the Covenant access to shield world.{{Ref/Reuse|GoO}}
| | This room was the site of a huge battle between the [[Spartan]]-IIs and -IIIs under [[Spartan-051]] [[(Kurt)]] and the [[Covenant]] forces under [[Voro 'Mantakree]]. It was destroyed when Spartan-051 detonated [[FENRIS Nuclear Warhead]]s in an act of self sacrifice, killing the Covenant. |
