The interior possessed an artificial sun, though it and the entire structure were on a far smaller scale; while the Dyson sphere within Onyx was millions of kilometers in diameter, the diameter of this structure was a mere few thousand kilometers. This shield world also functioned as a military installation, housing the [[Apex Site]], an internal docking facility for dozens of [[SoSojourner-class dreadnought|''Sojourner''-class dreadnoughts]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Escape]]''</ref>
