*Worlds like ''Onyx'' were referred to as "The Shield" of the Forerunner, while the [[Halos]] were "the Sword." This echoes [[Cortana]]'s line on the [[Halo 3 Announcement Trailer]], "I am your shield, I am your sword." So far, [[Bungie]] has said nothing about a correlation between Cortana's use of the word "Shield" and the Forerunner's "Shield World." | *Worlds like ''Onyx'' were referred to as "The Shield" of the Forerunner, while the [[Halos]] were "the Sword."

*A "shield installation" is mentioned in the cutscene on the level "The Ark" in ''Halo 3''. [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] states that he had hypothesized that [[the Ark]] might be located within such an installation, but was proven wrong by the discovery of its location on the exterior of the galactic rim. | *A "shield installation" is mentioned in the cutscene on the level "The Ark" in ''Halo 3''. [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] states that he had hypothesized that [[the Ark]] might be located within such an installation, but was proven wrong by the discovery of its location on the exterior of the galactic rim.

*The Shield World's glyph can be seen in the cover of [[Halo: Ghost of Onyx]], hinting and supporting that the novel was to focus mainly on the subject.<ref>[http://www.ascendantjustice.com/files/voc/shield/ghosts.jpg Image of the Glyph]</ref> There is quite an uncanny resemblance between this glyph and a glyph seen on the world discovered at the end of Halo 3 when completed on legendary, which may confirm that Master Chief and Cortana are heading towards the/a Shield World, or rather, the Forerunner construct that might lead to the Shield World (like the object on Earth that was originally considered to be the Ark).<ref>[http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Shield_World_Glyph_Comparison.jpg Glyph Comparison]</ref> | *The Shield World's glyph can be seen in the cover of [[Halo: Ghost of Onyx]], hinting and supporting that the novel was to focus mainly on the subject.<ref>[http://www.ascendantjustice.com/files/voc/shield/ghosts.jpg Image of the Glyph]</ref> There is quite an uncanny resemblance between this glyph and a glyph seen on the world discovered at the end of Halo 3 when completed on legendary, which may confirm that Master Chief and Cortana are heading towards the/a Shield World, or rather, the Forerunner construct that might lead to the Shield World (like the object on Earth that was originally considered to be the Ark).<ref>[http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Shield_World_Glyph_Comparison.jpg Glyph Comparison]</ref> | ||
*In [[Terminals|Terminal]] 5 of [[Halo 3]], there is a sentence that reads the following "If we start immediately--commence total biosphere elimination of life sustaining worlds (as indicated in the accompanying charts) and relocate evacuated populations to facilities such as those described in the [Onyx project] all this could be achieved in [57,1590 (+/-2,184) hours]." This is most likely a reference to either the Forerunners Shield World(s) plan or Onyx itself. | *In [[Terminals|Terminal]] 5 of [[Halo 3]], there is a sentence that reads the following "If we start immediately--commence total biosphere elimination of life sustaining worlds (as indicated in the accompanying charts) and relocate evacuated populations to facilities such as those described in the [Onyx project] all this could be achieved in [57,1590 (+/-2,184) hours]."
