REACH?
If you look at the thread "Definitive proof Halo 3 ending = Reach" you'll see the link to a picture of the Halo 3 Legendary Ending and the Halo: Reach Trailer both side by side The picture. If you look at the Halo 3 one closely, you'll see it has Forerunner glyphs on it. Like the glyph for zero and also on the top right of the planet you'll see what looks like the unknown symbol/glyph from the Terminals which is also on 343 Guilty Spark and on the Ghosts of Onyx cover. The planet is Forerunner in origin the surface of it has numerous Forerunner architecture similarities. So for all you who keep insisting this is Reach it's not. Reach was glassed, and people did survive, but this is not Reach (read the books). This "planet", if it is even one, is either inhabited by Covenant as they assimilated Forerunner technology and it is a Forerunner "planet" or it is inhabited by the descendants of the Forerunners, which means Cortana and John are outside the rings range, or is completely devoid of sentient life as it is in the range of the rings. There is a possibility that it is a shield world or a world that had a central shield that after the rings fired would open and allow the planet to be re-inhabited. I would also like to throw it out there that maybe Cortana and John are there because it is a world that has one of the portals on it, Earth is not the only planet with a portal, and because they went through the portal from Earth as it collapsed maybe they were accidentally sent to another portal's vicinity.
SYMBOL COMPARISON
Side by side comparison of the "unknown glyph/symbol" and the Reach vid and the Halo 3 Ending http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/1600/forerunnerplanet1.jpg . This is almost definitive proof that the planet is indeed Forerunner. Top right Image compare to the top right of the Halo 3 planet, every line is a match. Bottom right image compare to the bottom left of the Halo 3 planet, half match all lines correct though. Then you can compare the glyphs to the Halo: Reach image, they don't match.
What's a Forerunner Symbol?
The Forerunner symbols are based on star patterns. That was how Cortana found the first Halo, she used the symbols they had intercepted from Sigma Octanus IV that were being transmitted from the surface to a stealthed Covenant ship, John and his team then captured the rock that was being hit with infrared which was transmitting the symbols. If the Forerunners based their Language off of the stars then why not their architecture, which is why the symbols show up on the surface of the planet in the Halo 3 Ending, because it is a Forerunner planet.
ONYX?
I don't think it's possible that the planet that John and Cortana are heading to is "the" Dyson Sphere that is in Onyx. The Dyson Sphere from Onyx is a special Dyson Sphere that exists in normal space and slipspace. In normal space it is theoretically only a few meters in diameter, but in slipspace it takes up a planetary size amount of space. Slipspace physics and normal space physics are different that is how it is faster to travel through slipspace because the physics have different limitations and rules. That being said slipspace allows for a greater mass in a smaller space, like compressing a file, only that when you compress a file you technically lose some data. In slipspace there is no data loss. Also in slipspace the term of something being in a specific space is used loosely because when objects are near each other, in the books, they appear to be one object. Which is why it is difficult for the UNSC to identify objects in slipspace.
Shield World/Dyson Sphere Gateway?
It's very possible that it holds a way into the Onyx micro Dyson Sphere. I just had epiphany Agemoi (you are my muse.... grahhrrr). It would make logical sense that when a Dyson Sphere gateway is compromised like in Onyx that it closes to keep "enemies" out. But how would you ever get out of the Dyson Sphere if there wasn't another way out, another gateway. So like you said what if they all or many of them lead to the same Sphere so that when one is compromised there is still a way in and out. It would make perfect sense.
I retracted the part of my theory that stated that it could be a Covenant made planet. Which is highly unlikely as the Covenant assimilated Forerunner technology, they didn't use it. Covenant symbols are different than Forerunner symbols so they planet would have to be Forerunner.
This is a broad collection of reasons why the planet is there, what it is, and what is on it. I think that everything I listed could be a possibility except that the planet is Reach or Onyx.
