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 {{Class|Sojourner|dreadnought}}s 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. | ||
During the [[Battle of the Etran Harborage|campaign on the installation]] in [[2531#February|February 2531]], the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} encountered the Flood on the surface of and later within the shield world. Upon rescuing [[Ellen Anders|Professor Ellen Anders]], whom [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] had captured in order to activate the installation's fleet of Forerunner dreadnoughts, the crew realized the danger this fleet could pose to humanity. Thus, they decided to sacrifice ''Spirit of Fire'''s [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive]], causing a supernova within the shield world's artificial star and destroying the vessels. This plan was successful: Shield 0459 was pulverized by the ensuing explosion, the dreadnoughts were destroyed, and all the Covenant forces and Flood forms on the installation were killed.<ref name="Escape"/> | During the [[Battle of the Etran Harborage|campaign on the installation]] in [[2531#February|February 2531]], the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} encountered the Flood on the surface of and later within the shield world.
