When the Covenant were searching to find a key to activate the Shield World's installations, they came across [[Relic (Structure)|a Relic]] on [[Harvest]], a human colony they had recently [[Glassing|glassed]]. The [[Prophet of Regret]] hoped this would finally be the key to activate the Apex installation, and sent the [[Ripa 'Moramee|Arbiter]] to secure the relic, and find the key.

==Comparison with the [[Onyx]] Installation==

Unlike Onyx, which was made up of trillions of Sentinels, from which a planetary surface had formed, ~~this world was built~~ in a ~~method similar to a Halo Installation~~, ~~though on a much larger scale, being a~~ hollow structure with planetary surfaces on the interior and exterior ~~being supported by numerous pillars. Inside this is a more familiar construct of a few ship-sized portals allowing access from an opening on the outside to the interior world~~.

Unlike Onyx, which was made up of trillions of [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels]], from which a planetary surface had formed, and a massive Dyson Sphere residing in a compressed [[Slipspace]] bubble in the center of the construct, this [[Shield World]] was far simpler: A hollow structure with planetary surfaces on the interior and exterior.

~~This Shield World is much like~~ Onyx, possessing an artificial sun, though it and the entire structure ~~are~~ on a far smaller scale. However, unlike Onyx, it was not designed as a bomb shelter, but as some sort of harbor, shipyard or hiding place for ships, as it contains [[The Apex]]~~. Also, the Flood Controlled Shield World had dozens of Forerunner ships stored within it, it is unknown whether the same is true for the Onyx Installation~~.

The internal [[Micro Dyson Sphere]] was somewhat similar to Onyx's Dyson Sphere, being terraformed and possessing an artificial sun, though it and the entire structure were on a far smaller scale. However, unlike Onyx, it was not designed as a bomb shelter from the [[Halo Array]], but as some sort of harbor, shipyard or hiding place for ships, as it contains [[The Apex]].

While this [[Shield World]] appears to be approximately 2900 kilometers in diameter<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8lxRH9zqWw</ref>, Onyx's diameter is approximately 150 million kilometers, and therefore immensely larger than this ~~shield world~~. <ref>Ghosts of Onyx</ref>
