In the book [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], it is disclosed that at the center of [[Onyx]] is a [[Slipspace]] rift that shunts those that pass through it to a structured ''Dyson Sphere'', called a [[Shield World]]. It is separated from normal space-time 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 Forerunners to abandon their plans to evacuate into the shield installations. The only way out is to shut down or destroy the sphere. | In the book [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], it is disclosed that at the center of [[Onyx]] is a [[Slipspace]] rift that shunts those that pass through it to a structured ''Dyson Sphere'', called a [[Shield World]].

The only way out is to shut down or destroy the sphere. Basically, it fufills 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. | ||
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 looked at from normal space. | After their arrival in the Forerunner-constructed Dyson Sphere, Dr. Halsey explains the structure.
