This '''Flood-controlled Shield World''' was a [[Forerunner]] [[Shield World|Shield Installation]] deep in uncharted [[Milky Way Galaxy|space]]. A variation upon the Shield World concept, originally intended to protect sentient lifeforms from the effects of the [[Halo Array]] and the [[Flood]], it also served as a [[The Apex|port]] for a 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. [[Sentinel]]s 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.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''' levels ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars Level)|Beachhead]]'', ''[[Reactor (level)|Reactor]]'' and ''[[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]].

==Comparison with the Onyx Installation==

Unlike [[Onyx]], which was made of trillions of [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels]], upon which a planetary surface had been formed, and a massive [[Micro Dyson Sphere|Dyson Sphere]] residing in a compressed [[Slipspace]] bubble in the center of the construct, this [[Shield World]] was far simpler. This Shield World was comprised of a hollow structure with planetary surfaces on the interior and exterior. 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 apparently not designed only as a shelter from the [[Halo Array]], but also as some sort of harbor, shipyard, or hiding place for ships, as it contained [[The Apex]]. While this Shield World was approximately 2900 kilometers in diameter, Onyx's internal Dyson Sphere's diameter is approximately 150 million kilometers.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', page 380</ref>

This Shield World had dozens of [[Unnamed Forerunner Starship|Forerunner ships]] stored within it. It is unknown whether the same is true for the Onyx Installation.
