Athens Station

Athens Station is an orbital defense platform, similar to Cairo Station and Malta Station in the fact that is has a MAC cannon. It was the second Station to be destroyed by a Covenant bomb. It is in orbit above the city of Athens.

Twenty orbital Super-MAC Cannons were used to defend the planet Reach from Covenant invasion, but they soon fell as the Covenant destroyed the underground generators that powered them. The planet Earth had 16, but production was stepped up quickly after Halo: The Fall of Reach, bringing the total up to 300. Some of the more famed Super MAC Orbital Stations above Earth are:


 * Cairo Station
 * Malta Station
 * Athens Station
 * Nassau Station
