In the core of Onyx, there was a large room, referred to as the [[core room antechamber]]. It contained a [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] rift that would be open for a short time after the [[Halo Array]] was put on standby mode, allowing evacuation to the [[Dyson sphere|Micro Dyson sphere]] within, acting as an escape from the Array's destructive firing.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 364-365''</ref>

The Dyson sphere habitat, approximately 300 million kilometers in diameter, was located wholly within a maintained slipspace bubble, which was only 23 centimeters in diameter in normal space.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 230''</ref> The megastructure has a habitable, terraformed surface and in the center, a G2-type star to provide terrestrial lighting.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 380''</ref>

In [[2552]], Onyx's Sentinels were roused to action by the standby signal from [[Installation 05]], instigating the Battle of Onyx and revealing Onyx's true nature. The AI Endless Summer took command of all military personnel on Onyx to immediately defend Zone 67 per [[General Order 98.93.120]], after Onyx's Sentinels first started to attack the SPARTAN-IIIs. Endless Summer sent [[Kurt-051|Kurt Ambrose]] a flash transmission of several classified files pertaining to Onyx, but was interrupted by an explosion. Soon after, the surviving UNSC forces on Onyx regrouped and declared [[Bloody Arrow]].

Kurt, [[Franklin Mendez|CPO Mendez]] and the SPARTAN-IIIs were soon joined by [[Catherine ~~Elizabeth~~ Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] and later, [[Blue Team]], and they eventually made their way into an excavated Forerunner city in [[Zone 67]]. Meanwhile, both the Covenant and the UNSC sent battle groups to retrieve Onyx's Forerunner technologies. The [[Patterson's battle group|UNSC battle group]] was destroyed in the ensuing battle.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 376''</ref> The humans, led by Kurt, fell back into the interior of Onyx and discovered its map room, where they were redirected by Endless Summer to destroy Onyx's Sentinel factory. Eventually, the survivors made a last stand against the Covenant in the core room antechamber, before retreating into the safety of the shield world. After the gateway into the shield world had closed, Kurt detonated two [[FENRIS nuclear warhead|nuclear warheads]], ensuring the Covenant did not follow his comrades. Immediately afterward, the Sentinels that had made up Onyx's foundational structure obliterated the terrestrial surface and decimated the Covenant fleet.<ref name="disintegrate"/>

==Trivia==

The [[Terminal/Halo 3#Terminal Five|fifth Terminal]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' mentions the "Onyx project" as a translated name for a type of shield world, presumably in contrast to the more common [[Shield world#Conservation sphere|conservation sphere type]].

The [[Terminal/Halo 3#Terminal Five|fifth Terminal]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' mentions the "Onyx project" as a translated name for a type of shield world to which the Forerunners planned to evacuate their populations. This is presumably in contrast to the smaller and more common [[Shield world#Conservation sphere|conservation sphere type]].
