In the book [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], it is disclosed and revealed that at the core of [[Onyx]], there is a [[Slipspace]] rift that shunts those that pass through it to a structured ''Dyson Sphere'', dubbed beforehand by the Forerunners as a [[Shield World]] [[Installation]]. 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 300 million kilometers (or two astronomical units(1 AU is 149,598,000 km)) in diameter on the inside. The Micro Dyson Sphere's star 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.

Basically, the structure 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.
