By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

It isn't Onyx either, remeber? It was destroyed by 2 FENRIS warheads revealing it is actually trillions of Sentinels. They left behind the miniscule Micro-Dyson Sphere housing Dr. Halsey, Mendez and the Spartans.
Not Onyx.
I'd just like to point out two things:
1) The Dyson Sphere is inside slipspace. Would not be visible or accessible from standard space. The back half of Forward Unto Dawn (where Chief and Cortana are) did not manage to enter slipspace, so the planet in view cannot be the Dyson Sphere.
2) The Dyson Sphere is by no means minuscule. The Halo rings are about 10,000 miles across. This Dyson Sphere has an internal radius of 1 AU (Astronomical Unit. 1 AU is equal to the average distance of the Earth from the Sun, or, 93,000,000 miles), as stated by Halsey. To put that in perspective, the surface area of the inside of the Dyson Sphere they're on is equal to a hair under 552 MILLION Earths. If the Sphere had the same population as Earth only 552 million fold, the Sphere could have held a population of about 36 quintillion people. That's a 36 followed by 18 zeros. Makes you wonder about the Forerunner and THEIR predecessors.
I in no way support the "planet is Onyx" theory. As I have said, I believe it to be the Precursor Rainbow World.
I meant that the exterior view of the Dyson-Sphere is miniscule...Apparently, it's bigger on the inside. Doctor Who reference, anyone?
