Talk:Shield world

speculation shouldnt be mentioned in this article.--JohnSpartan117 06:31, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

It probably can't be helped, the interior of shield world was only vaguely described. In addition, A dyson sphere would have the surface area of millions of planets. The characters only spent time in one little area of it, theoretically, they could spend the rest of their lives looking for the forerunner on shield world and still not find them even if they occuped 90% of the living space there. -ED 02:48, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Title

AFAIK, we don't know whether there's one Shield World or multiple ones. It seems like this article should be rewritten based on that, but I probably won't do it. Also, is it the humans' name for it or a translation of the Forerunner name? --68.44.13.236 16:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Its the human translation, from Halsey herself. --Ajax 013 16:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I was wondering if we should add the line that Spark spoke in Halo 3, was something like "I expected the ark to be part of a shield facility"

Name

Didn't Offensive Bia refer to the shield world as the Maginot Sphere when he prepared to engage Mendicat Bias? ProphetofTruth 15:33, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

No, the Maginot Line was the border between Flood and Forerunner territory. Specops306, Kora 'Morhek 01:58, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Rename

Guilty Spark calls it a "Shield Installation," so should it be renamed? Specops306, Kora 'Morhek 01:59, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Micro Dyson Spheres.

Okay, I am a little confused as to what a Micro Dyson Sphere is exactly. What is it? It says it is tiny, but in reality it is massive, is this true, also, what is the atmosphere and climate like? Is it like the Ark? What? Please answer these questions, I would appreciate it. --Lord Lycan 01:27, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

• Ok,this is how I see it.From the outside,the sphere would look small,but on the inside,it(from what another user said)has the space of a thousands planets' surface.In other words,the inside is in another space(like slipspace).I hope that helps you.SPARTAN-177 01:34, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
  • After reading the Dyson Sphere Wikipedia article, it would have to be sized in comparison to the star its surrounding, which, at its smallest, would still be big, just not solar system big like regular sized theoretical ones. They could be based on artificial small stars, meaning that their size could probably be about Jupiter sized, if not bigger. Since they're Forerunner constructs, they're probably like the Ark in atmosphere, which is in turn similar to Earth. Not sure about a surrounding atmosphere of either gas or another shell on top, but they can't be on the inside, that's where the energy to power it comes from. Arcdash 01:41, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
