Though not witnessed by external observers, the interior of the facility is 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 houses a planet. Another important feature is that immediately above the cloud layer of the protected planet, the interior surface of the protective shell is visible. This is demonstrated by the sky being dominated by the machinery above it, with large, vertical structures reaching down to the surface below.<ref name="gameinformer"/>

Another distinguishing feature from other Forerunner artificial worlds is that Requiem's artificial star is located in the machinery above the interior planet. Because the facility has not yet been explored, it is unknown how day and night cycles are implemented, specifically relative to the significant number of structures anchored to the planet's surface. The next known aspect of this facility is that the protected planet itself possesses fully active and functioning technology, unlike other Forerunner sites, who have largely been abandoned and dormant,<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD429ZWcQ_w '''YouTube''': ''Halo Fest: Halo 4 Panel'']</ref> with the exception of [[The Sharpened Shield]].
