====Shield 0459====

This shield installation was representative of a smaller variation of the shield world concept. Known as a conservation sphere,~~<ref name="~~evg~~"/>~~ the facility consisted of a hollow spherical shell with a terraformed inner surface and an internal sun. The installation's outer surface was heavily infested by the [[Flood]].

It was destroyed by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces in [[2531]] when the overloaded [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Slipspace drive]] of {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} sent the internal star to [[supernova]] state.

The Forerunners could also either create artificial stars, or move existing stars across distances of thousands of light years, either of which would be a tremendous technological feat. Additionally, they were able to extrude whole stars into slipspace. One star was used in the construction of the [[Shield World]], [[Trevelyan|Shield World 006]], while an artificial star, created just for it, orbited [[Installation 00]]. [[Shield World 0459]] also had a miniaturized artificial star in its center.
