The Forerunners also constructed massive Dyson spheres, such as the shield world known as [[Trevelyan|Shield World 006]] held within Onyx. With a diameter of 2 astronomical units,<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 380''</ref> this shield world was encapsulated in a [[Slipstream space|Slipspace]] field to protect the occupants from the Halo Array as it activated. Essentially a sphere, with its habitable surface on its internal surface rather than external, these "micro" Dyson spheres are also equipped with their own stars,<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 379''</ref> providing warmth, light and energy to the installation. Originally intended as a way to circumvent the Halo effect, the shield worlds were not put into use by the Forerunners due to the rampant actions of [[05-032 Mendicant Bias|one]] of their own AI constructs.<ref>'''Halo 3''', ''[[Terminal]]s''</ref> | The Forerunners also constructed massive Dyson spheres, such as the shield world known as [[Trevelyan|Shield World 006]] held within Onyx.

The interior of [[Shield 0459]] was essentially a variation of this concept, albeit on a far smaller scale and not enveloped in slipspace. | The interior of [[Shield 0459]] was essentially a variation of this concept, albeit on a far smaller scale and not enveloped in slipspace. | ||
