The [[Forerunner]]s, being a [[Technological Achievement Tiers|Tier-1]] civilization, were capable of building such constructs in various sizes and types, from full scale to miniaturized, planet-sized structures. The most commonly seen type of Forerunner Dyson construct is based on a variant of the concept known as a "[[Wikipedia:Dyson sphere#Dyson shell|Dyson shell]]"; a solid shell completely encompassing a star. They also constructed [[Wikipedia:Dyson sphere#Dyson swarm|Dyson swarms]], coordinated networks of orbiting constructs that form a sphere around a star, to close off entire systems.<ref name="cryptum144">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 144''</ref> | The [[Forerunner]]s, being a [[Technological Achievement Tiers|Tier-1]] civilization, were capable of building such constructs in various sizes and types, from full scale to miniaturized, planet-sized structures.

Most notably, Dyson spheres were the basis for the [[shield world]]s built by the Forerunners as safe havens from [[the Flood]] and the activation of the [[Halo Array]]. However, the Forerunners never made it to the safety of these installations due to the betrayal of the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[05-032 Mendicant Bias|Mendicant Bias]], whose defection to the Flood forced the Forerunners to abandon their plans.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Terminal]]s''</ref> Basically, the structure fulfills its function as a "shield world" perfectly. It protects the occupants of it and gives them a huge "world" to live in. One such structure, [[ONI Research Facility Trevelyan|The Sharpened Shield]], was even moved into [[slipstream space]] where it would appear in a compressed form, far smaller than its actual size the physical universe.<ref name="goo">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 381-382''</ref> | Most notably, Dyson spheres were the basis for the [[shield world]]s built by the Forerunners as safe havens from [[the Flood]] and the activation of the [[Halo Array]].
