Changes: Shield 5040

Revision as of 08:29, 14 November 2015

Shield 5040, sometimes misinterpreted as Shehaqim, is an artificial world built to house the valuable portal that links the Domain to the physical world. Shehaqim is the name given to this portal and at times, the entire planet will referred to as Shehaqim. Because of the importance of this world, it is protected by a defensive network known as Line Installation B1-B85. This line installation is considered a Renegade Line and therefore not connected to the larger Maginot Line that protects the Forerunner's inner core worlds.

Overview

Shield World 5040 is located in the Xilo Tetrahedron some eighteen light years from Sanghelios. The artificial planet has a diameter of 15,705 kilometers and 0.987 gravity. 02-1147 Lambent Glow is the Monitor of this installation and the defensive perimeter that protects it from intruders. Shield 5040 is a series of concentric spherical shells, much like a Russian doll, with their own unique environments and purposes. When the installation is activated, the entire world and it's several layers are placed in a Slipspace bubble and leaves behind no trace of it's existence in real space. Because this installation houses important artifacts and assets, the surface or outer layer resembles a vast desert region with no signs of life. Indeed, the surface doesn't contain a habitat suitable for life. There is a massive access tunnel which allows starships entrance into the inner structures, though this tunnel is disguised as a large mountain range that spans 800 kilometers. The Command Base and Ashvattha are two vectors where the Shield Installation can be activated and sent into Slipspace or brought into real space. While in Slipspace, individuals can enter the installation through portal transits, and the Monitor is able to transfer himself into the installation while being connected to the Command Base.

Shehaqim

Shehaqim is a Portal Generator that lies in the heart of Shield 5040. This portal binds the Domain to the physical world. Individuals can enter the Domain and experience firsthand the flow of knowledge and energy in the galaxy. This device can also restore the Domain, allowing it to exist in the Milky Way Galaxy once again. In order to activate the portal, either a Forerunner or Reclaimer must activate the auxiliary power stations that surround the main structure. There are three stations and once one is activated, the structure will begin to shift and open.

Defense Network

Shield 5040 has a defense network that spans across the planet and outside. Fifteen line installations have a firing range capable to targeting enemy vessels in orbit over the artificial world. Upon entering the installation's inner layers, starships will undergo a series of high-intensity scans searching for Flood infection and determining the strength of passing vessels. Particle cannons are stationed around important structures and are in various sizes. The larger cannons target aerial vehicles, and smaller cannons target infantry and ground vehicles. Sentinels are stationed within structures and complexes to perform maintenance tasks and defend the facilities. Armigers serve as a more offensive force targeting unwanted or unauthorized personnel wandering the Shield Installation. The Armigers have access to the local teleportation grid allowing them to travel throughout the planet, and these combat constructs utilize advanced weapons and equipment.
