This idea is pretty well thought out and I like it, but I swear, EVERY topic made here questioning WHAT the planet is in the Halo 3 Legendary ending always seems to forget about the Suns in the background, which is almost 100% proof that these planets are not the same.
As I've posted countless times before...in the H3 Legendary ending, there is a blue sun, and, according to Ghosts of Onyx, we learn that Onyx orbits a yellow sun. THEREFORE, these planets cannot be the same.
NOW, if you don't believe the Sun theory, then I have this backup explanation...
In the H3 ending, Cortana tells the Chief that it could be YEARS before anyone finds them, this obviously means that they're very far away from any human colonies (because she doesn't expect to be found any time soon). So, if the planet in the Legendary ending is Onyx (a human colony), and their smoldering ship was simply able to float to it (meaning it couldn't have been THAT far away), don't you think it's odd that she would say it could take years? Wouldn't she have been able to detect Onyx if it were close enough to float to?
Now, it's not absolute proof, I'm not saying that, because Bungie, 343, or anyone here could come out and say that the blue sun in the H3 Legendary ending isn't the actual sun that this unknown planet orbits, and that it was just a dramatic blue flash effect used to end the clip with. That's fine and I accept that but we still have Cortana's words about not being found for years, as possible proof that it couldn't be Onyx if they were close enough by to just float right to it.
What I am saying is that the Onyx Shield World came out of slipspace at a new locaation. It isn't actually in the Onyx system, but I think it could be that Shield World. (or a different one)
It wasn't IN slipspace though... Dr. Halsey and the other Spartans possibly went somewhere else but we can't confirm from the book that Onyx actually went anywhere. Halsey and the others stepped through a slipspace rift, that's it.
I do agree though 100% about the planet in the Halo 3 Legendary ending and the Halo 4 video being Shield Worlds, or, in some way related to them.
