The most technologically impressive of all shield worlds encountered in the modern era, Shield World 006 was constructed as part of the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s shield world defensive plan before the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. This shield installation in particular was designed as a fallout shelter from the [[Halo Array]], a competing strategy advocated by the [[Builder]]s. Several slipspace portals on the interior of the structure were linked to major Forerunner worlds, in order to facilitate their evacuation before the Array fired; one such world was [[Kelekos]]. | The most technologically impressive of all shield worlds encountered in the modern era, Shield World 006 was constructed as part of the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s shield world defensive plan before the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].

Near the end of the [[Battle of Onyx]] on [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], Covenant [[Fleet Master]] [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] led his forces in an attempt to access the Sharpened Shield. However, [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Kurt Ambrose]] detonated a pair of [[FENRIS nuclear warhead]]s within the core room antechamber after his comrades had passed through the portal, denying the Covenant access.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 372''</ref> The human survivors, including SPARTAN-II [[Blue Team]], several [[SPARTAN-III Program|SPARTAN-IIIs]], Dr. Catherine Halsey, and [[Senior Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]], were then seemingly trapped within the shield world. Shortly thereafter, the installation's [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels]] destroyed the artificial surface of Onyx.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 378''</ref> | Near the end of the [[Battle of Onyx]] on [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], Covenant [[Fleet Master]] [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] led his forces in an attempt to access the Sharpened Shield.

When inside the shield world, the human survivors managed to establish contact between the ONI ships outside the sphere, which had already detected the cyclically fluctuating anomaly caused by the slipspace bubble but had no means to access it.<ref name="glass230"/> In [[2553#February|February 2553]],<ref name="glass372">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 372''</ref> the shield world was eventually brought back into normal space by a group of [[Huragok]] that the Forerunners had left behind to maintain the structure. There was a considerable difference in the passage of time between the slipspace bubble and real space; while the survivors inside the sphere had only experienced several days, approximately three months had passed on the outside. | When inside the shield world, the human survivors managed to establish contact between the ONI ships outside the sphere, which had already detected the cyclically fluctuating anomaly caused by the slipspace bubble but had no means to access it.<ref name="glass230"/> In [[2553#February|February 2553]],<ref name="glass372">'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 372''</ref> the shield world was eventually brought back into normal space by a group of [[Huragok]] that the Forerunners had left behind to maintain the structure.
