[[Requiem]] was the first shield world to be constructed, its design later serving as the template for the entire concept.<ref name="sil278"/> This variant features an entirely artificial, heavily armored outer surface and contains a number of concentric miniature Dyson shells within its outer shell. Like the exterior, the interior surface of the outer shell is mechanized, and features a light source for warmth and illumination. Another sphere, containing a terrestrial surface oriented similarly to a planet, is located below the outer shell. The interior of this shell contains the hollow core of the shield world and a Dyson shell-like inverted surface. | [[Requiem]] was the first shield world to be constructed, its design later serving as the template for the entire concept.<ref name="sil278"/> This variant features an entirely artificial, heavily armored outer surface and contains a number of concentric miniature Dyson shells within its outer shell.
