I think Halo or The Halo is a good name for a ring world, but not a good interchangeable term.

Also, just some thoughts.. did anyone else think the Halo ring world was reallyreally small? It would have to be spinning ridiculously fast to keep from having to use gravity generators of some kind, wouldn't it? To say nothing of maintaining an artificial sun! (I've only played the original Halo; when it came out on PC. *shrug*)

Also, I wouldn't expect an empire building game using newtonian propulsion any time soon; strategy and tactics are far too dependent on it and extremely tough for an AI to handle...
