Dyson sphere: Difference between revisions

At the core of the artificial world [[Onyx]] was a [[slipstream space|slipspace]] rift that shunted those that passed through it to a structured Dyson sphere with an [[Earth]]-like, habitable inner surface. This construct is separated from a normal space-time symmetry by advanced Forerunner slipspace technology, making it only a few meters in diameter in real space despite being 300 million kilometers (or approximately two [[Wikipedia:Astronomical unit|astronomical units]] [1 AU is 149,598,000 km]) in diameter on the inside. The Micro Dyson sphere is located in a ''factually'' compressed Slipstream space. In other terms, any object inside might appear to be a certain size, but inside the Slipstream bubble it is much, much larger. This led [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] to dub it as a "Micro Dyson sphere". The Micro Dyson sphere's star has a spectra and energy output slightly smaller than the dimensions of [[Sol]].<ref name="goo"/>

The Forerunners also constructed a Dyson sphere vastly different from the Onyx installation. Unlike the Micro Dyson sphere within Onyx, the construct inside this Shield World was a far smaller structure located in normal space, on the inner surface of an artificial planetary shell. Inside the shell was a network of ship-sized portals allowing access from an opening on the outside to the interior world.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Cleansing]]''</ref>
