''Cairo Station'' firing control was the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] firing control station of ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]''. During the [[Battle for Earth]], [[Covenant]] [[Naval boarding|boarders]] invaded firing control, killing all the crew and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] (except one who was hiding behind a set of stairs) stationed there and planted a large bomb planned to destroy the orbital station, similar to how the nearby ''[[Athens Station|Athens]]'' and ''[[Malta Station|Malta]]'' stations were destroyed.
