: And how do you figure that? We know they've found artifacts, not whole
: worlds.

Because the supplementary material tells us.

Firstly this excerpt from a conversation between Ripa (The HW Arbiter) and Regret at the Apex (ie on the Shield World) before Halo Wars even begins:

The Prophet watched for a moment, his hand clawing at the control panel in front of him, the controls snarled reddish and faded as his hand swept over them. He quickly moved away, not wanting the Arbiter to question the limit of his knowledge.
"And what of your search for the key?"
"Hierarch, we scour tirelessly. Just today I have heard word that the human planet we set ablaze has a temple hidden under the ice. I have dis-"
"You have not deemed such a find important enough for your own eyes to see? Do you fear the humans? Do you tremble at the very thought of battle with them?"
"No, Hierarch. It did not seem necess-"
"Not necessary? NOT NECESSARY?! You bask in the glow of the ancients and yet you do not understand where and what you are! You are the Arbiter. Go to the temple; bring me my key. Do our bidding!"
The Arbiter clenched his fists and reached down for his weapon but pulled back.
"I will leave at once."

Secondly, and this is the big one, this time line entry from within the game itself:

2531 - Excerpt from The Punished Deeds, Vol. III
The shield world that Regret intended to activate was one of just a few that the Covenant had uncovered in the quest for the Halos. These treasure chests of technology enabled the Covenant to quickly gain access to advanced weaponry and space propulsion systems allowing them to dominate the galaxy.

That seems pretty conclusive that they found multiple shield worlds.
