Apex Site

"But this world lies dormant. It is just a shell!"

- Ripa 'Moramee

The Apex is a Forerunner structure consisting of a port holding many Forerunner ships, inside an unknown Forerunner Shield World, also containing a small artificial sun - undoubtedly of Forerunner design and construction. It's primary purpose seems to be as an activation platform for the Forerunner ships, which are docked in the surrounding towers.

It is here that Anders is held until she escapes.

The installation was destroyed by the Spirit of Fire's FTL drive which caused the sun in the center of the Micro Dyson Sphere to go supernova destroying all the Forerunner ships and eliminating The Flood, as well as destroying the Shield World around it.

Description
The Apex installation is a narrow platfrom hovering in the clouds of an unnamed Forerunner Shield World. It can be accessed from a teleporter pad on the ground. It also has a smaller teleporter pad, which seemingly works as a restraint system as well. The system works by voice commands.

It contains a Beam Emitter like many other Forerunner facilities. Though unlike the standard Beam Emitters, the energy of the beam emitter is channeled into one continuous stream, instead of a single bolt of energy. It can be activated by a spherical Forerunner console, which can only be activated by a human, like many other Forerunner facilities. It gives a some sort of activation signal to the Forerunner ships.

It also has an elevator which leads very close to the Shield World's sun. It was used by Sergeant Forge when he overloaded the Spirit of Fire's FTL reactor and destroyed the Shield World.
