A variation upon the shield world concept known as a conservation sphere,<ref name="vis">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 174''</ref> it was intended to protect sentient lifeforms from the effects of the [[Halo Array]] and the [[the Flood]], in addition to serving as a military outpost housing a [[The Apex|port]] for a fleet of [[Unidentified Forerunner dreadnought class|Forerunner dreadnoughts]]. | ||
Despite the fact that the Shield Worlds were created as a haven from the Array and the Flood, the external surface was heavily infested with Flood biomass, with forms of various types freely roaming across the surface. [[Sentinel]]s were a rarity on the outside, but this changed within the center, where the many Forerunner constructs worked to prevent the Flood from claiming the interior as well.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign levels ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]]'', ''[[Reactor]]'' and ''[[Escape]]''</ref> | |||

The appearance of the surface is also different, which is likely due to the disparity between the in-game graphics engine and the pre-rendered cutscenes. | ||
