It's primary purpose seems to be as an activation platform for the Forerunner ships, which are docked in the surrounding towers. | |||

The installation was destroyed by the [[Spirit of Fire]]'s [[Shaw-Fujikawa_Translight_Engine|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. <ref>''[[Halo Wars]]'' Cutscenes</ref> | |||
==Description== | |||
It is | The Apex installation is a narrow platfrom hovering in the clouds of an [[Shield_World_(Halo_Wars)|unnamed Forerunner Shield World]]. It can be accessed from a [[Teleporters|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 was | It also has an elevator which leads very close to the Shield World's sun. It was used by [[John Forge|Sergeant Forge]] when he overloaded the [[Spirit of Fire]]'s FTL reactor and destroyed the Shield World.<ref>''[[Halo Wars]]'' Cutscenes</ref> | ||
