I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg
So there has been some speculation onto what exactly the "Legendary Planet" is.
Here is my theory.
FACTS:
Onyx is actually nothing but special Sentinels. In the center of it is some sort of slipspace bubble. Once Fred, Kelly, Linda, Mendez, Halsey and some S-IIIs go through they appear in a Shield World (similar to one that is seen in Halo Wars.)
Shield Worlds were commisioned by the Didact as a safehaven for the Forerunners from the Flood and Array.
Theory:
I believe that Halsey is wrong and that the shield world is NOT inside the slipspace bubble in Onyx. If you read Cryptum, you would know that there was Slipspace portal that transported Bornstellar from the Forerunner capital to the Ark.
The Portal on Earth uses the same type of portal.
I believe that inside the center of Onyx is a Slipspace Portal (small enough to get individuals through) and that portal transported individuals outside the galaxy (not as far as the Ark) to inside a Shield World. The FUD ended up coming out of slipspace "near" the Shield World and a couple years later, it ends up there. Big ol' family reunion for Halsey and John.
I'm guessing the Onyx Sentinels were placed there around the Portal to protect against Mendicant Bias and the Flood.
Now I'm guessing also that there could possibly be Forerunners inside this Shield World, either in cryptums or in slipspace cryo pods. It wouldn't make any sense that absolutely not one single Forerunner survived.
