An '''orbital defense platform''' (ODP){{Ref/Book|Enc11|Page=294}}, or '''orbital weapon platform''' (OWP), is a kind of armed satellite employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]] for defensive purposes. They can range massively in size and scope, and are frequently deployed in a [[geosynchronous orbit]] around a given world to act as a defensive line against a potential invading enemy force.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=34}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CFGlassed|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-looking-glassed|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Looking Glassed|D=16|M=01|Y=2021}} Within the UNSC, orbital weapons platforms are assigned the [[hull classification symbol]] '''OWP'''.{{Ref/Book|Id=WF30|HWF|Page=30-31}}

==Overview==
'''Orbital defense platform'''<ref>''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', p. 330</ref> ('''ODP'''),<ref>''Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe'', p. 294 (2011)</ref> also known as an '''orbital weapon platform''',<ref name="cairo">''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level, [[Cairo Station]]</ref> is a general term for a wide variety of [[space station]]s employed by the UNSC. Stations falling into this classification include unmanned weapon satellites all the way to large stations with a capital grade [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] built into it.<ref name="lookingglassed">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-looking-glassed ''Halo Waypoint'': Canon Fodder - Looking Glassed]</ref> Some classes of ODP have the [[hull classification symbol]] of '''OWP'''.
Orbital weapons platforms serve to guard their charges via a number of means. The term is a loose descriptor that can encompass a range of satellite types, ranging from small and/or unmanned satellites that consist simply of a missile pod linked to a targeting array and communications relay, up to the massive manned [[space station]]s that form the most predominant and iconic imagery of the concept. The largest of these are built around a core [[Capital ship|capital]]-scale [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] (MAC), colloquially referred to as a "big stick", and serve as some of the largest and most powerful examples of MAC weaponry available to [[human]]ity.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFGlassed}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://community.spartangames.co.uk/index.php?/topic/16805-halo-waypoint-update-with-spartan-new-ships/page-7|Site=Spartan Games|Page=Halo Waypoint Update with Spartan - NEW SHIPS!|Detail=(defunct)|Quote='Super MAC' is more a category than a specific weapon. Many defense platforms do not have 'super MACs' as used by Reach installations, for example.}}


Alongside their primary defensive weaponry, ODPs may also equip a number of secondary armaments to aid in their own defence. These include [[point-defense gun]]s, such as in case of the [[M606 Goalkeeper point defense gun|M606 Goalkeepers]] included on the {{Class|Moncton|orbital weapon platform|}}. Larger OWPs usually also equip [[hangar]] support facilities for [[dropship]]s and [[Space fighter|strikecraft]], with the precise examples carried varying across the fleet. OWPs are deployed in battle clusters of (in the case of the ''Moncton'') three stations, each designed to mutually support and reinforce one another. As such, each carries a slightly different loadout, allowing the three to each specialise in a particular collateral function and cover one another's bases.{{Ref/Reuse|WF30}}
Orbital defense platforms are frequently placed in [[geosynchronous orbit]] and deployed in groups, or clusters, of two to five platforms. The well-equipped and large bridge of an ODP is suitable for directing large-scale engagements. Such was the case when [[Lord Hood|Fleet Admiral Sir Terrence Hood]] directed UNSC forces from an ODP during the [[Battle of Earth]]. These platforms are capable of destroying even the largest of [[Covenant]] capital ships but are vulnerable to [[Covenant boarding craft]] which can avoid the heavy slugs and latch onto the stations. If they survive the point defense guns, it is up to the UNSC personnel within the stations to repel any [[Boarding|boarders]].{{Ref/Reuse|cairo}}


===Deployment===
==Specifications==
Within the UNSC, orbital weapons satellites are typically manned, maintained and operated by the [[UNSC Air Force]]{{Ref/Book|OSFM|Page=136-138}}, presumably administered by the [[Orbital Defense Command]].{{Ref/Level|H4|Midnight}} However, they may be employed for collateral and administrative functions by the [[UNSC Navy]]. For example, the platform [[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]] served as the command centre for [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] during the [[Battle for Earth]] in late [[2552]], alongside hosting a naval ceremony to promote the survivors of the [[Battle of Installation 04]].{{Ref/Level|Id=H2Cairo|H2|Cairo Station}}
===Facilities===
Internally, the stations are remarkably spacious, complete with high ceilings and a monorail system to move personnel and equipment. In addition to numerous small craft bays, there are two docks for larger ships, such as [[freighter]]s, or even [[UNSC frigate|frigates]]. These docking bays could possibly be used to hold [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword fighters]] used to protect the station from hostile spacecraft. The design incorporates many features against potential hostile boarding action, including security stations and small arms racks situated at strategic locations.<ref name="armory">''Halo 2'', campaign level, [[The Armory]]</ref>


===Power generation===
===Armament===
OWPs may generate their electrical power through a number of means. Some designs maintain their own internal [[fusion reactor]]s for fully-independent operation, and can make use of liquid metal capacitor cells to store charge for the primary weapon. In emergency circumstances, it is possible to dock a friendly UNSC warship to the station, to make use of its reactor to aid the station in power cycling.{{Ref/Reuse|WF30}} The most powerful rapid-fire designs - consisting of the {{Class|Erőd|orbital weapon platform|}} deployed over Reach - are so power-hungry as to make even onboard fusion reactors unsustainable. Instead, these few stations are manually tethered to [[Orbital defense generator|ground-based generator]] facilities. While providing vastly higher amounts of power for the weapon systems of the platform, these separate generators also serve as a key defensive weakness for the station, and are susceptible to [[Planetary warfare|forces on the ground]] in the event of an invasion.{{Ref/Reuse|Quezon}}
====MAC platforms====
 
The primary and crucial armament is a Mk. V "''Super''" [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] capable of causing near-fatal damage to even a shielded Covenant capital warship with a single slug. The slug can weigh up to 3,000 tons and is launched at 4% the speed of light,<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', p. 283</ref><ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach|Halo: The Fall of Reach (2010 edition)]]'', p. 320</ref>{{Ref/Note|While the [[Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe]] lists the velocity as 40% the speed of light, the figure remains unchanged in the reissue of ''The Fall of Reach'', a more recent source.}} ensuring the complete annihilation of the target.{{Ref/Reuse|armory}} As with starship-mounted MACs, a platform's cannon is commonly controlled by an [[Artificial intelligence|AI]]. Due to the immense power of the MAC, a large recoil dampening system is situated at the base of the cannon.{{Ref/Reuse|cairo}} The weapon is vulnerable to the detonation of nuclear weapons, as their superconductive coils could be burned out from their electromagnetic pulse.<ref name="TFORC34">''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', Chapter 34</ref>
==Classifications of orbital defense platform==
Several kinds of OWP are employed by the UNSC, the most prominent of which consisting of large space stations built around a central core MAC in a similar fashion to most other [[UNSC starship]]s.
 
===''Erőd''-class===
{{Main|Erőd-class orbital weapon platform}}
The ''Erőd''-class OWPs were, during their tenure, among the most powerful stations ever constructed. They consisted of a single rapid fire [[Super MAC]] that was considered a threat to even [[Covenant starship]]s, though relied upon separate ground-based generators for their power. This Achilles heel ultimately proved their downfall during the [[Space engagements over Reach|space battles]] in orbit over [[Reach]] during the planet's [[Fall of Reach|fall]]. Prior to this, ''Erőd''s formed a core component of Reach's twenty-strong OWP lineup.{{Ref/Book|Id=Quezon|Enc22|Page=36}}

</gallery>
 
===''Moncton''-class===
{{Main|Moncton-class orbital weapon platform}}
The ''Moncton''-class OWPs serve as the primary defensive battlements surrounding [[Earth]], with at least one example also constructed over Reach.{{Ref/Comic|Id=BootCamp|HFoRBC|Issue=1}} They were in service by at least [[2517]]{{Ref/Reuse|BootCamp}}, with the onset of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2525]] spurring on a massive construction project for the constellations of ''Moncton'' satellites over Earth. By 2552, this program was still incomplete, by which time the planet held around three hundred stations in its defence.{{Ref/Novel|HFS|Page=104}}{{Ref/Reuse|H2Cairo}}

A number of hitherto-unnamed OWPs have been observed over various [[Human colonies|colony worlds]].

====Point defense guns====
Some platforms are armed with a number of [[point-defense gun]]s for close-in defense against enemy munitions, fighters, and boarding craft.<ref name="warfleetpgs3031">''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]'' - p. 30 & 31</ref>
===Power plant===
ODPs do not possess the power generation equipment necessary to fire their main armament. Instead, they receive power from [[orbital defense generator|ground-based generators]]. An effective strategy to neutralize the formidable ODPs would be to disable the generators via ground assault. This would disable the platform's weaponry without destroying it, allowing this valuable prize to be captured or destroyed outright. The Covenant used this strategy during their invasion of [[Reach]], dropping troops to the planet's surface and destroying these generators. This paved the way for Covenant forces to completely overwhelm the UNSC forces in the space battle over Reach.

By [[2552#August|August 2552]], [[Reach]] was protected by 20 orbital defense platforms, with at least one being an {{Class|Erőd|orbital weapon platform}}.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Another was a {{Class|Moncton|orbital weapon platform}} which was in place by [[2517|May 2517]].{{Ref/Comic|Id=bootcamp|[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp]]}} A number of Reach's ODPs were online by [[2527]].{{Ref/Book|Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe|Page=50}} During the [[Fall of Reach]], the orbital defense platforms inflicted massive losses on the Covenant armada in the opening stages of the battle, as well as providing fire support for ground forces on Reach. Large numbers of UNSC forces were deployed to protect the orbital platforms' planetside power generators, but they ultimately fell against determined enemy assaults. The disabling of the defense platforms was a major factor on the battle's outcome.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: The Fall of Reach}}

A portion of the 300 platforms first saw action at the early stages of the [[Battle for Earth]].

*All known orbital defense platforms over Earth are named after cities on Earth. It is also apparent that the stations' names are also based roughly on the region they orbit above: Cairo, Athens, and Malta, for example, are located rather close to each other geographically. However, the stations' locations do not directly correspond to the planetside locations of the cities, as the other stations in Cairo's battle cluster can easily be seen with the naked eye, whereas their namesakes are hundreds of kilometers apart.

*Two weeks after the Fall of Reach, when the UNSC Security Council met at HIGHCOM in Sydney, it is mentioned by Colonel Ackerson that most of Earth's ODPs would take ten days before becoming fully operational.
*The orbital defense platforms had entered the conceptual stage sometime around the 2490s, as [[Avery Johnson]] mentions that they were being proposed around the same time he shipped out for boot camp.
