Built as the template for the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s [[shield world]] [[Star-hopping|defensive strategy]], Requiem was constructed long before the [[human-Forerunner wars]] to serve as a fortress world for the [[Warrior-Servant]]s' Promethean class. As with the shield worlds which would follow, Requiem's true capabilities were kept as secret as possible from the other [[rate]]s; although its components were constructed by the [[Builder]]s, the process was compartmentalized in a way that only the Prometheans would be fully informed of its ultimate configuration.{{Ref/ | Built as the template for the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s [[shield world]] [[Star-hopping|defensive strategy]], Requiem was constructed long before the [[human-Forerunner wars]] to serve as a fortress world for the [[Warrior-Servant]]s' Promethean class.

The most resilient shield installation built by the Forerunners, Requiem consisted of multiple concentric planetary shells enclosed within one another, sealed inside an enormous outer shell.{{Ref/Reuse|h4guide}} The outermost surface was an armored covering enveloping the second shell, which was oriented like that of a planet and housed the world's primary terrestrial environment. [[Core of Requiem|Requiem's core]] was located below this planetary surface, and had a surface reverse to that of the terrestrial exterior, similar to a miniaturized [[Dyson sphere|Dyson shell]]. | The most resilient shield installation built by the Forerunners, Requiem consisted of multiple concentric planetary shells enclosed within one another, sealed inside an enormous outer shell.{{Ref/Reuse|h4guide}} The outermost surface was an armored covering enveloping the second shell, which was oriented like that of a planet and housed the world's primary terrestrial environment.

Requiem's outer surface was a thick metallic shell lacking a terraformed surface and covered in patterns and layers of machinery and overlapping armor plating hundreds of kilometers thick; the first 50 kilometers were to feature weapon emplacements by the thousands, but these plans were never realized due to the Didact's exile.{{Ref/Novel|Sil|Page=282}} The surface was also covered in a number of lights; some of these formations took on geometric patterns, such as circular orientations or arrays of lines. Amongst its complement of luminous formations were two enormous symbols; the Eld, (which represents the [[Mantle]]), as well as the [[Reclaimer]] glyph. Unlike some shield worlds constructed later on, Requiem did evidently not possess shielding against the effects of the Halo Array; the Didact was only protected by the [[slipspace bubble]] generated by his [[Cryptum]].<ref name="Bulletin924">[https://blogs.halowaypoint.com/en-us/blogs/headlines/posts/the-halo-bulletin-9-24-14 ''Halo Waypoint'' - ''The Halo Bulletin: 9.24.14'']</ref> | Requiem's outer surface was a thick metallic shell lacking a terraformed surface and covered in patterns and layers of machinery and overlapping armor plating hundreds of kilometers thick; the first 50 kilometers were to feature weapon emplacements by the thousands, but these plans were never realized due to the Didact's exile.{{Ref/Novel|Sil|Page=282}} The surface was also covered in a number of lights; some of these formations took on geometric patterns, such as circular orientations or arrays of lines.

The interior of the facility was unique relative to the other known shield worlds; rather than housing an artificial star at its center, surrounded by a habitable inner surface, the exterior shell housed additional layered shells, the outermost of which had an environment resembling a terrestrial planet. Another important feature was that immediately above the cloud layer of the protected second layer, the interior surface of the protective shell was visible. This was demonstrated by the sky being dominated by the machinery above it, with large, vertical structures reaching down to the surface below.
