'''Construction Platform 966A''', alternatively nicknamed '''Station Delphi''', was a deep space [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] shipyard and construction platform. It was similar to [[refit station|refitting stations]] like the ''[[UNSC Cradle|Cradle]]''. Essentially, it is a massive plate of [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A]] containing a floating city of welded scaffolding cranes, docking pods, tubes, and grappling claws.<ref name="goo51">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 51-52''</ref> | '''Construction Platform 966A''', alternatively nicknamed '''Station Delphi''', was a deep space [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] shipyard and construction platform.

The station was decommissioned in [[2528]] and abandoned in orbit over an icy moon in the [[Groombridge 34 system]]. Due to poor maintenance, the platform was a mess by [[2531]].
