This Flood-controlled Shield World was a Forerunner Shield Installation deep in uncharted space. A variation upon the Shield World concept, originally intended to protect sentient lifeforms from the effects of the Halo Array and the Flood, it also served as a port for a fleet of Forerunner Ships. Despite the fact that the Shield Worlds were created as a haven from the Array and the Flood, the external surface was heavily infested with Flood biomass, with forms of various types freely roaming across the surface. Sentinels were a rarity on the outside, but this changed within the center, where the many Forerunner constructs worked to prevent the Flood from claiming the interior as well.[1]
During the Human-Covenant War, the Shield World was discovered by the Covenant during the First Battle of Arcadia, and subsequently destroyed in the Battle of the Flood-controlled Shield World in February 2531.
