So named by the [[United Earth Government]] due to the unusually large onyx quarries found in the planet's crust, Onyx had an Oxygen-Nitrogen gas atmosphere, of suitable pressure for [[Human]] life with a temperate weather cycle. It also had an unusually large number of indigenous species of flora and fauna, some of which were edible by Humans and posed no threatening danger. The transplanting of [[Earth]] species was possible. | |||
Some notable anomalies were that it had no detectable tectonic activity, an unusually strong planetary magnetic field, and slightly higher than normal background radiation. All of this may possibly be explained by the presence of large numbers of [[Sentinels]] beneath the planet's surface. | Some notable anomalies were that it had no detectable tectonic activity, an unusually strong planetary magnetic field, and slightly higher than normal background radiation.

*The [[Terminals]] mention that there were indeed [[Forerunners]] on Onyx. However, the Terminals were probably referring to the Onyx Sentinels being on Onyx or the construction of it to become a Shield World to be protected from any of the the [[Halo Array|Halos]]. | *The [[Terminals]] mention that there were indeed [[Forerunners]] on Onyx.

*The Sentinels on Onyx were much stronger than the ones on [[Installation 04]] and [[Installation 05]], being able to combine forms, and were capable of space flight. | *The Sentinels on Onyx were much stronger than the ones on [[Installation 04]] and [[Installation 05]], being able to combine forms, and were capable of space flight. | ||
