*Worlds like ''Onyx'' were referred to as " | *Worlds like ''Onyx'' were referred to as "The Shield" of the Forerunner, while the [[Halos]] were "the Sword." This echoes [[Cortana]]'s line on the [[Halo 3 Announcement Trailer]], "I am your shield, I am your sword." So far, [[Bungie]] has said nothing about a correlation between Cortana's use of the word "Shield" and the Forerunner's "Shield World." | ||
*A "shield installation" is mentioned in the cutscene on the level "The Ark" in ''Halo 3''. [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] states that he had hypothesized that [[the Ark]] might be located within such an installation, but was proven wrong by the discovery of its location on the exterior of the galactic rim. | *A "shield installation" is mentioned in the cutscene on the level "The Ark" in ''Halo 3''.

*At the end of ''Halo 3'', it is hypothesized that the Chief and [[Cortana]], along with the rear of the ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'', drifted to one of these installations.

*In [[Terminals|Terminal]] 5 of [[Halo 3]], there is a sentence that reads the following "If we start immediately--commence total biosphere elimination of life sustaining worlds (as indicated in the accompanying charts) and relocate evacuated populations to facilities such as those described in the [Onyx project] all this could be achieved in [57,1590 (+/-2,184) hours]. This is most likely a reference to either the Forerunners Shield World(s) plan or Onyx itself. | *In [[Terminals|Terminal]] 5 of [[Halo 3]], there is a sentence that reads the following "If we start immediately--commence total biosphere elimination of life sustaining worlds (as indicated in the accompanying charts) and relocate evacuated populations to facilities such as those described in the [Onyx project] all this could be achieved in [57,1590 (+/-2,184) hours].
