| | An '''Orbital Defense Generator''', or '''ODG''', was a large groundside power plant used to provide the energy needed by [[Orbital Defense Platform|Orbital Defense Platforms]] to fire their primary weapon. |
| An '''orbital defense generator''', abbreviated to '''ODG''' in alphanumerical site designations, is a large groundside power plant used to provide the energy needed by {{Class|Erőd|orbital weapon platform}}s to fire their [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=TFoRChapter33|HTFoR|Chapter=33}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=36}} | |

| ==Overview==
| | Prior to the [[First Battle of Reach]], Reach had seven ODGs to power twenty ODPs. As demonstrated during the battle, ODGs were vulnerable to ground assault, and the failure of [[UNSC]] ground forces to protect the power plants and the resulting nullification of the planet's ODPs was a major factor in the battle's outcome. |

| ===Usage=== | | ==Speculation== |
| Prior to the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Reach]] had [[seven]] ODG facilities to power twenty ODPs. As demonstrated during the battle, ODGs were vulnerable to ground assault, and the failure of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] ground forces to protect the power plants and the resulting nullification of the planet's ODPs was a major factor in the battle's outcome and resulted in the loss of Reach. These fusion reactor complexes allowed the orbital guns to sustain a rate of fire of one round every five seconds.{{Ref/Reuse|TFoRChapter33}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
| | Although never explicitly elaborated upon, it seems likely that the means of power transmission from the ODGs on the ground to the ODPs in orbit was through a means similar to [[Wikipedia:Rectenna|rectennas]]. |
