→Micro Dyson sphere
(Onyx is still the name of the shield world overall, Sarcophagus is seemingly just the Dyson sphere component (though as per recent canon we could also keep calling it Onyx)) |

The main component of this type of shield world is a [[Dyson sphere]] located within a bubble of compressed [[Slipstream space]]. The only entrance to the interior is a small portal within the core of an artificial planet built around the core. Access to these shield worlds is possible only upon the imminent activation of the Halo Array.<ref name="goo311">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 311''</ref> | The main component of this type of shield world is a [[Dyson sphere]] located within a bubble of compressed [[Slipstream space]].

The Dyson sphere within this type of shield world is enormous; [[ | The Dyson sphere within this type of shield world is enormous; [[Sarcophagus]], for example, is two astronomical units (300 million kilometers) in diameter. As with the more common conservation spheres, micro Dyson sphere-type shield worlds feature vast terraformed surfaces and a single artificial star. The inner Dyson sphere resides within a slipspace bubble and is thus accessible only from the [[core room antechamber]] in the heart of the artificial planet formed around the structure. In normal space, the slipspace bubble is radically smaller than the interior, being only a few meters in diameter, hence the moniker "micro Dyson sphere". | ||
