When fully exposed, following the [[glassing]] of the mountain atop the complex, the larger complex slightly resembles the [[Portal at Voi]] on [[Earth]]. The structure is circular with a large ornate projector in the centre for projecting the slipspace portal itself. Eleven [[Beacon tower]] stations on the complex's perimeter, each at the foot of an individual mountain, project beams into the middle to assist in powering the portal via unknown mechanisms. In ancient times, the Forerunners used the [[Menachite Forerunner crystal]] to power it,{{Ref/Novel|Id=Sacrifice|HSoR|Detail= Adjunct - [[Sacrifice]]}} but the crystal's removal did not prevent the portal's use. However, unlike the Portal at Voi, this portal would only remain active for as long as the local charge lasted. Once it dissipated, the portal would close once again. | ||
