In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', there is also a type of Micro Dyson Sphere. However, this Shield World, as referred to in the game, is vastly different from the Onyx installation. Unlike Onyx, which was made up of trillions of [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels]] over which a planetary surface had formed, this world was built in a method similar to a [[Halo Installation]]. It was a hollow structure with planetary surfaces on the interior and exterior being supported by numerous pillars. Inside this was a more familiar construct of ship-sized portals allowing access from an opening on the outside to the interior world. The interior was somewhat similar to Onyx's Dyson Sphere, possessing an artificial sun, though it and the entire structure are on a far smaller scale. However, unlike Onyx, it was not designed as a bomb shelter, but as some sort of harbor, shipyard or hiding place for ships, as it contains [[The Apex]], which had dozens of [[Unnamed Forerunner Starship|Forerunner ships]] stored within it. It is unknown whether the same is true for the Onyx Installation, but if it is, then it may have served as a possible means of escape for the [[Spartans]] trapped there.
