'''Dome of Light''' is the sixth [[campaign]] level of the real-time strategy game, ''[[Halo Wars]]''.
'''Dome of Light''' is the sixth [[campaign]] level of ''[[Halo Wars]]''. The level involves breaking through a giant, dome-shaped [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Energy shielding|Energy Shield]] to discover what lies within. The main objective of the mission is to escort the [[M-145D Rhino|Rhino]] tanks to the marked points around the map, defended by the Covenant, after which [[Serina]] will fire all tanks on the same point of the energy shield to break through it. The mission initially involves placing three Rhinos at the marked points but after a failed attack on the shield two more points are selected for Rhinos to be placed at. After the energy shield is broken through, the player is then given 40 [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon#Halo Wars|MAC shots]] to destroy the Covenant base within and complete the mission. This is another level in which the player is aided by computer-controlled units.

*When a Rhino is requested, sometimes the Pelican pilot refers to the ground team as [[Harvest]] Surface Command. This may have been an oversight by the developers, as this level takes place on Arcadia. However, it is possible that the ''Spirit of Fire'' was still officially assigned to Harvest.
