The '''core room antechamber''' was a massive chamber located at the center and core of the [[Forerunner]]-constructed world [[Onyx]]. The antechamber served as the only entrance to [[Shield World 006]], sheltered in a [[slipspace]] rift within Onyx's core. Upon the powering up of the [[Halo Array|Halos]], the antechamber was reachable by and via specific [[slipspace translocation|Slipstream translocation]] [[teleporter|devices]]; however, the core room is only accessible for a short time and duration after the Halos are primed.<ref name="GoO">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page ??''</ref> | The '''core room antechamber''' was a massive chamber located at the center and core of the [[Forerunner]]-constructed world [[Onyx]].

The actual portal to the shield world was itself in the center of a large stepped structure within the antechamber, which [[Franklin Mendez|SCPO Mendez]] compared to Hell in Dante's ''[[Inferno]]'', although [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] noted that Hell in ''Inferno'' was a pit of ''descending'' rings. Following the priming of the Halos, the structure would gradually 'flatten' until it became level with the ground. At this point, the entrance to the shield world would be sealed. | The actual portal to the shield world was itself in the center of a large stepped structure within the antechamber, which [[Franklin Mendez|SCPO Mendez]] compared to Hell in Dante's ''[[Inferno]]'', although [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] noted that Hell in ''Inferno'' was a pit of ''descending'' rings.

The antechamber was the site of a desperate rearguard and strategic action by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]]s and [[SPARTAN-III Program|Spartan-III]]s led by [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Kurt Ambrose]] against [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant]] forces under [[Fleet Master]] [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] during the [[Onyx Conflict]] in [[2552]]. The antechamber was destroyed when Kurt Ambrose detonated [[FENRIS nuclear warhead]]s within, sacrificing himself to deny the Covenant access to shield world. | The antechamber was the site of a desperate rearguard and strategic action by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]]s and [[SPARTAN-III Program|Spartan-III]]s led by [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Kurt Ambrose]] against [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant]] forces under [[Fleet Master]] [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] during the [[Onyx Conflict]] in [[2552]].
