'''Shield 0459''' was a [[Forerunner]] [[Shield World]] located in the [[Korinth Prior system]].<ref>'''''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]] —''''' page 180</ref> A variation upon the Shield World concept, originally intended to protect sentient lifeforms from the effects of the [[Halo Array]] and the [[The Flood|Flood]], it also served as a [[The Apex|port]] for a fleet of [[Unidentified Forerunner starship|Forerunner dreadnoughts]]. 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''', campaign levels ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]]'', ''[[Reactor]]'' and ''[[Escape]]''</ref>
