Subject: What are shield worlds? Is Onxy destroyed or not?

It's the prestige that makes the illusion.

well,
can anyone explain what a shield world is and what is it's purpose.


Onyx is a shield world but i've read that it's destroyed but i've also read that it has an own world underneath it's surface with an own star.
so if it's destroyed the star would have became a black hole, right?

don't send an halo pedian link oke!
i have my information from there but i still don't understand what it is :[

Walk softly, and carry a big midget.

Shield worlds were used as military outposts and research facility which were going to be used to destroy the Flood. They also protect the inhabitants from the Halo Array.

There are 2 different types of Shield Worlds, one where the inside is hollow (like Halo Wars) and one where the "inside" is in slipspace, which you could only get into using a portal.

I think that's right anyway. I'm probably completley wrong.

KIWIZ RULE THE WORLD!

Its just that nobody knows it yet...

Yes it's destroyed(ish).
Onyx did not have a star but was instead had a small portal room or something similar in its center which is still there but the rest of onyx broke apart into the millions of sentinels it was made up of.
so no black hole just a whole load of dirt and millions of pissed off sentinels.

@jayster

No I think you got it right.

Jayster and PH0T0Nman are both correct. Like said in spoilers in halo 4 it is most likely going to be on a shield world one with a star. Also said in the books Dr.hasley was one of the only people to survive and get off onyx.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

The planet Onyx was destroyed, torn apart by the trillions of sentinels beneath it. But the Shield World was undamaged.

You are correct. The Hollow Shield Worlds are the outpost/research stations, and the Slipspace ones are Halo Bunkers.

Signatures are for squares.

Play Halo Wars.

The last like, 6 levels all take place on a Shield World.

Yes, Oynx was destroyed. The "Micro Dyson Sphere" was not.

one thing is for sure, there are loads of them, the didact had a long time to build them. so there must be a load. not sure if the forerunners distinguish between the two types though. so long as the flood cant enter i guess a shield world is a shield world! :)
