Ah ok... to bad the Spartans didn't wear a tracking device ^.^
A tracking device wouldn't really help, they are in a Dyson sphere, this is from my limited knowledge of theoretical physics within the Halo universe, which are basically areas within a Slipspace that are completely ostracized from what we would consider space and time. Basically, they are all stuck.
A dyson sphere isn't technically a slipspace formation. Nylund just chose to apply this description to that construct.
A dyson Sphere is basically an inside out planet.
the system's star is at the "center" of the planet while a shell effectively encompasses the original area of that solar system. this is to capture every once of sunlight that system produces.
the construct at the core of Onyx is a micro dyson sphere.
What you mentioned is more like the sphere in Halo Wars the one on Onyx is much different, it's not inside the planet.
