Orbiting around Reach were a semi-mobile array of twenty [[Orbital Defense Platform]]s (ODP), equipped with heavy [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC Guns]] also known as "big sticks," some of which were in place as early as [[2527]]. They were in turn defended by multiple wings of single ships and tactical multi-role craft. In addition, there were also about 100 to 150 warships stationed in the Epsilon Eridani System at any time. The ODPs were destroyed during the invasion of Reach, or were disabled by ground troops by destroying their power source. Despite their huge numbers, the [[fleet]] of warships was destroyed by an even larger Covenant [[Fleet of Particular Justice|fleet]]. | Orbiting around Reach were a semi-mobile array of twenty [[Orbital Defense Platform]]s (ODP), equipped with heavy [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC Guns]] also known as "big sticks," some of which were in place as early as [[2527]].
