-Seemingly a variation of the conservation sphere design, Shield World 0673 housed a terrestrial environment inside a metallic exterior shell. Instead of an artificial star, however, a massive planetoid dominated the skies of the inner sphere, with lighting emanating from the ground and reflected to the surface by structures in the convex "ceiling" of the inner planetoid. Shield World 0673 was overseen by the monitor [[Enduring Bias]].<ref name="hbc">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''Chapter 1''</ref>
+Shield World 0673 was another unique type of shield world and the last shield installation to be constructed.<ref name="hbc76">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 76''</ref> Like the conservation spheres, it housed a terrestrial environment inside a metallic exterior shell. Overseen by the monitor [[Enduring Bias]], the shield world's most extraordinary feature was its ability to break its outer shell apart and disperse the components across the [[asteroid]] belt of the [[Ussan system|system]] in the event the interior was compromised.<ref name="hbc76"/>
-In the [[Covenant]]'s early years, [[Ussa 'Xellus]], the leader of a [[Sangheili]] resistance movement against the Covenant, sought to use Shield World 0673 as a refuge for his followers until they could gather enough strength to strike against the Covenant.<ref name="hbc"/>
