In the book [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], it is disclosed and revealed that at the core of [[Onyx]] there is a possible [[Slipspace]] rift that shunts those that pass through it to a structured ''Dyson Sphere'', dubbed beforehand by the Forerunners as a [[Shield World]]. It is separated from a normal space-time symmetry by advanced Forerunner Slipspace technology. Although [[Dr. Halsey]] calls it the '''Micro''' Dyson Sphere, the Sphere is 150 million kilometers (or two astronomical units) in diameter. The Micro Dyson Sphere has a spectra and energy output slightly smaller than the dimensions of [[Sol]]. This was going to be the haven where the [[Forerunners]] were to seek refuge when [[Halo]] activated, but no one knows what went wrong with their alleged plan, as the expanse appeared to be completely deserted when [[UNSC]] forces arrived. In [[Halo 3]], these circumstances were revealed to be the result of the betrayal of the [[Forerunner]] [[AI]] [[Mendicant Bias]], whose defection to the [[Flood]] forced the [[Forerunner]]s to abandon their plans to evacuate into the shield installations. The only way out is to shut down or destroy the sphere. Basically, it fulfills its function as a "Shield World" perfectly. It protects the occupants of it and gives them a huge "world" to live in. Potentially, an entire new civilization could be constructed in a Dyson Sphere. | In the book [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], it is disclosed and revealed that at the core of [[Onyx]] there is a possible [[Slipspace]] rift that shunts those that pass through it to a structured ''Dyson Sphere'', dubbed beforehand by the Forerunners as a [[Shield World]] [[Installation]].

After their arrival in the Forerunner-constructed Dyson Sphere, [[Dr. Halsey]] explains the structure. She calls and entitles it a Micro Dyson Sphere because it is in fact very small, or perceived to be small when viewed from normal space. | After their arrival in the Forerunner-constructed Dyson Sphere, [[Dr. Halsey]] explains the structure.
