Shield World 0459 was a standard conservation sphere: a hollow construct with a terraformed surface and an artificial star, surrounded by an artificial planetary shell. The interior of this construct could be accessed through one of the numerous access tunnels located around the surface. Like many shield worlds, Shield 0459 harbored a fleet of [[Unidentified Forerunner dreadnought class|dreadnoughts]] for defense of its inhabitants. At some point, much of the planet's surface had been consumed by the Flood, giving it a barren, desert appearance. | Shield World 0459 was a standard conservation sphere: a hollow construct with a terraformed surface and an artificial star, surrounded by an artificial planetary shell.
