This '''Flood-controlled Shield World''' was a [[Forerunner]] [[Shield World|Shield Installation]] deep in [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Milky Way Galaxy #Covenant|space]]. A variation upon the Shield World concept, originally intended to protect sentient lifeforms from the effects of the [[Halo Array]], it also served as a [[The Apex|port]] for a fleet of [[Unnamed Forerunner Starship|Forerunner Ships]].


The installation's purpose was to protect lifeforms within it from the [[Halo Array]] and the [[Flood]], and also serve as a port for a massive fleet of [[Unnamed Forerunner Starship|Forerunner ships]]. Despite the fact that the Shield Worlds were created as a haven from the Array and the Flood, the external surface was heavily infested with Flood biomass, with forms of various types freely roaming across the surface. Sentinels were a rarity on the outside, but this changed within the center, where the many Forerunner constructs worked to prevent the Flood from claiming the interior as well, without much effect.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''' levels ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars Level)|Beachhead]]'', ''{{Levelname|Reactor}}'' and ''{{Levelname|Escape}}''</ref>

During the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Shield World was discovered by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] during the [[First Battle of Arcadia]], and subsequently destroyed in the [[Battle of the Flood-controlled Shield World]] in [[2531#February|February 2531]].

After the Covenant had observed professor [[Ellen Anders]] activating the [[Relic (Structure)|Forerunner relic]] on [[Harvest]], the Prophet of Regret ordered the Arbiter to go to Arcadia and capture the human scientist, as she seemed to have unusual knowledge about the [[Forerunners]]. The Arbiter went back to Arcadia, captured Anders and brought her to the Shield World.
