There is a pic at the bottom of the page showing the forerunner symbol close up. i dont think it looks like the symbol, I think it looks like a distant halo.

Hmm...I have found the source of the supposed citation that claims that this structure is a Shield World. It comes from this December 2, 2011 article featured on the Computer and Video Games Magazine Website.
Here is the URL, specifically the one making the claim: [http://www.computerandvideogames.com/328204/features/halo-4-why-the-trilogy-ends-on-next-gen/?page=2]
Interestingly, the article claims that the installation in question is called Sigma 7, and makes further claims about UNSC and Covenant forces already in place and isolated from external events, and therefore potentially hostile to one another. These claims should sound familiar to anyone who knows of the Halo 4 story hoax that surfaced last June.
The fact that these "facts" have surfaced again in an "interview" strongly suggests, to me at least, that this article is wrong, and perhaps even fraudulent. With that possibility in hand, I strongly recommend that this article be changed back to Unidentified Planet until further corroboration for the its suspicious claim can be made.
As a member of Halopedia, I strongly recommend that further vigilance is employed in future for citations, so faulty and even fraudulent information is not placed as reliable citations.
--[[User talk:Exalted Obliteration|Exalted Obliteration]] 14:41, 30 January 2012 (EST)
:Yeah, I think any references to Sigma 7 should be considered part of the fake leak unless 343i explicitly confirms the information as proper. I agree the article should be moved back, though "Unidentified planet" isn't the most optimal title, seeing as we have another article titled [[Unidentified Forerunner planet]]. I understand we shouldn't really call this the "Legendary planet", despite it being a universally used fan nickname, but it would certainly make it more obvious what planet this article is talking about.

== Change name to "Shield World" ==
Why is it that this is called "Unidentified Planet." It used to have "Shield World" on it. It looks like a shield world, and I swear I saw an interview with Frank O'Connor where he states it's a Shield World (not talking about the Halo 4 maps.)
So why was it changed back into "planet"?

::True to the trailer statement. But various visual elements from the trailer are confirmed for Halo 4, such as the Chief's new armor (although it's slightly changed since.) The opening of the Shield World has been seen many times in various pieces of concept art. Frank O'Connor has even stated that one of the multiplayer maps is centered around the artificial sun of the Shield World.

The new game informer is out. The Shield world is called Requiem.[[User talk:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 09:19, 7 April 2012 (EDT)

::According to a screenshot I have seen, its page 17 of the Game Informer. Its the last paragraph on the page and reads ''"Though its unclear how it happens, the pair'' [MC and Cortana] ''eventually crash onto the unusual world that has remained mysterious since the end of Halo 3. Called Requiem, the sphere is actually a variation on a scientific theoretical object called a Dyson Sphere."'' [[Special:Contributions/82.28.119.35|82.28.119.35]] 10:56, 7 April 2012 (EDT)

== Requiem not the actual name of the Shield World ==
Apparently Requiem is the name of a planet inside the Dyson Sphere, not the structure itself. Name change? --[[User talk:ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]] 00:33, 8 April 2012 (EDT)
:Requiem is a Halo Wars-style conservation sphere, with the habitable inner surface protected by an outer shell. So the structure and the "planet" is pretty much one and the same. -[[User talk:Kronos101|Kronos101]] 02:30, 8 April 2012 (EDT)
So now I have conflicting sources. I don't actually have the magazine yet but I've been told that there's a planet inside the Dyson Sphere. This is probably the planet from the concept art trailer with the ring like structures on it. --[[User talk:ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]] 02:42, 8 April 2012 (EDT)

::From what I've heard, Requiem is a shield world akin to [[Trove]], the one in ''Halo Wars''. I should be getting the magazine soon and will provide clarification on the issue.-- '''''[[User:Spartacus|<span style="color: olivedrab; font-family: Bradley Hand ITC; font-size: 12pt;">'''Col.

Hmm...I've read the entire article, and in regards to Requiem, the article seems, at least to me, to be very clear. First, it indicates that it is indeed a Shield World. Second, they are very clear about what a Dyson Sphere is; an artificial structure encasing a star, in order to extract energy and provide a habitable surface. From that, it is very clear that GI understands what a Dyson Sphere is.
Third, Requiem is noted as being a variation upon both that and the known Shield Worlds, just like how the "Sharpened Shield" is distinct from most Conservation Spheres like Shield 0459. It states that rather than the mechanical shell encompassing a star, it houses a planet. Finally, when GI sees other artwork, they notice that the vertical structures seen in some artwork are in fact structures rising all the way up to the interior of the shell, demonstrating that Requiem has a total of 3 distinct surfaces; the mechanical external superstructure, its interior surface, and the complex partial ecosphere of the sheathed planet itself.
Another feature is that rather than seeing the kind of sky you would see in a normal Shield World or the Sharpened Shield, the sky above the cloud layer is dominated by the overhead mechanical interior. Given that this is very likely to be accurate, that still doesn't account for the fact that we don't know how the protected world is illuminated. The only clue that I am aware of is the solar power facility and its star in the map "Wraparound." Does the mechanical shell house only one "star," or perhaps it rotates around the planet, or does the planet itself rotate, bringing different sides in presentation to the light and heat source of the structure?
So many answers, and so many questions.--[[User talk:Exalted Obliteration|Exalted Obliteration]] 23:01, 9 April 2012 (EDT)
:Canonically, I know there are questions I have - if there's a planet, not a sun, inside this dyson shell, then where do sources of light and heat come from?: Or does the central structure also generate this? What visual effects would this have on gameplay in the interior of the outer shell? I'd imagine it to be a bit darker and less hospitable than the warmer inner planet. And if this idea is right, then it gives us a clue as to what the game is like - getting from the outer shell to the inner, then from there to the inner core. A nice line of progression, and one with potential opposition - whatever defences the Forerunners set up, whatever Flood specimens they guard, and opportunistic scavengers eager to plunder its secrets. -- [[User:Specops306|'''<font color=indigo>Specops306</font>''']] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u>''<font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font>''</u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u>''<font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font>''</u>]] 23:41, 9 April 2012 (EDT)
== Planet inside Requiem revealed? ==
So there's a planet inside Requiem from what I understand. Maybe this is it? File:Halo4conceptart1.jpg|300px|left --[[User talk:ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]] 23:25, 10 April 2012 (EDT)
:I think that's Requiem itself. Doesn't look like there's anything around it.-- '''''[[User:Spartacus|<span style="color: olivedrab; font-family: Bradley Hand ITC; font-size: 12pt;">'''Col.

::Could be it. But I don't think it would be that much space between it and the shell unless this is simply depicting the planet inside without the surrounding shell or the planet inside is tiny compared to it's surrounding shell. Also I have three theories: 1. The planet encased in the shell is Requiem (As Spartacus said above). 2. The shell (or shield) is Requiem & the planet it protects has no name. 3. Both the shell & planet are synonomous (spelling) and both are considered Requiem (stated as one). Just my thoughts on the matter. --[[User talk:Killamint|Killamint]] 13:27, 11 April 2012 (EDT)
Or the planet and a few AUs' worth of space around it is encased in slipspace bubble like Onyx--[[User talk:Matt98|Matt98]] 05:03, 29 October 2012 (EDT)
==Possible new trivia?==
Hey, I don't know about what you guys might be thinking, but every time I look the Halo 3 Legendary Planet (Requiem, I mean), it kind of almost looks very similar to the planet Coruscant in ''Star Wars''. Is it okay if I add this or not? Your thoughts? --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 15:10, 15 September 2012 (EDT)Xamikaze330
:I wouldn't say so. Coruscant is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecumenopolis ecumenopolis], and there are many in sci-fi. If that's the basis of the similarity, it's hardly worth mentioning.--[[User talk:Hawki|Hawki]] 19:29, 15 September 2012 (EDT)
== 43121124 ==
Would it be proper to assume that the number given on the Dawn's holochart that shows the Dawn's drift course, 43121124, is a sort of UNSC astronomical object indicator, along the lines of a real-world NGC or M designation? If this is a proper assumption, might we rewrite the opening sentence as, "Requiem, known by the UNSC astronomical charts as 43121124, is a Forerunner shield world..."? --[[User:WTRiker|WTRiker]] ([[User talk:WTRiker|talk]]) 01:06, 9 January 2013 (EST)
==Harvester (location)==
I think there should definitely be a page "Harvester (location)". It can be used for the rocky landscape in which Fireteams Switchback and Crimson were sent, plus the Harvester vehicle itself, plus the big Forerunner underground facility that is uncovered by Crimson. In other words, it's basically the Spartan Ops location codenamed "Harvester", which is used time and again. The [[Za'zayara-pattern Harvester|Harvester]] page is only the Covenant vehicle itself, in general. Of course, someone needs to create "Harvester (location)" and explain everything correctly.
