''Cairo Station'' Armory A-01 was the United Nations Space Command armory on the port side of ''Cairo Station''. [[Master Chief]]s battle suit was checked and tested using the different machines within the room; the targeting device and the energy shield test. During the [[First Battle of Earth]], [[Covenant]] boarders invaded Armory A-01. Elites armed with [[Plasma Rifles]] killed the [[Master Gunnery Sergeant (Armory)|Master Gunnery Sergeant]], who was equipped with a [[shotgun]]. SPARTAN-117, from Hangar A-02, wasn't able to get to him in time (as the doors on the floor would not open), but he was able to avenge him.

The Bridge is located right by [[Security R-01]] and [[Habitat Alpha]]. It is the command point of the entire station where Lord Hood commands all the forces above and on Earth. Due to this, it is one of the most heavily defended positions surrounding Earth.

Commons B-01, also known as Commons Blue, is a generic United Nations Space Command term for one of the Commons modules on the port side of an Orbital Magnetic Accelerator Cannon Platform. It consists of a standard-sized rectangular room, with "islands" regularly spaced to the edges of the room. Security B-01 overlooks Commons B-01. Commons B-01 was the Commons area closest to the bridge. During the First Battle of Earth, Covenant boarders invaded Commons Blue, pushing back Marines to the far side of the room and pinning them down by overlapping fields of fire from Plasma Cannons on the "islands", along with Grunts and Elites. However, they were repelled by SPARTAN-117.

Commons R-01, also known as Commons Red, is a generic United Nations Space Command term for one of the Commons modules on the port side of an Orbital Magnetic Accelerator Cannon Platform. It consists of a standard-sized rectangular room, with "islands" regularly spaced to the edges of the room. Security R-01 overlooks Commons R-01. ''Cairo Station'' Commons Red was the United Nations Space Command Commons of ''Cairo Station'' further from the bridge.

Firing Control is a generic United Nations Space Command term for any center or position referring to the operations of weapons systems aboard a starship, such as a UNSC Frigate or Orbital Magnetic Accelerator Cannon Platform. During the First Battle of Earth, Covenant boarders invaded ''Cairo Station's'' Firing Control, killed all Marines stationed there, with the exception of one who hid, and planted a bomb that was intended to destroy the station, but they were repulsed by the Master Chief.

Habitat Alpha is a generic United Nations Space Command term for for one of the quarters sections of an Orbital Magnetic Accelerator Cannon Platform.

The UNSC defense coordinator ordered multiple Fire Teams to the habitat, but eventually was forced to send a full Marine squad to repel the intruders.

Habitat Delta is a generic United Nations Space Command term for for one of the quarters sections of an Orbital Magnetic Accelerator Cannon Platform. ''Cairo Station'' Habitat Delta was invaded by the Covenant during the invasion of Earth. The UNSC defense coordinator ordered multiple Fire Teams to the habitat, but eventually was forced to send a full Marine squad to repel the intruders.  

Hangar A-01, also known as Hanger Bay A, is a generic United Nations Space Command term for one of the two-story Longsword and Pelican hangers on the port side of an Orbital Magnetic Accelerator Cannon Platform. During the First Battle of Earth, Covenant boarders invaded Hangar A-01. A Covenant Boarding Craft had docked and deployed waves of Grunts and [[Elite]]s. Marine defenders, equipped with Battle Rifles, SMGs, and even a Machine Gun Turret (on lower difficulties), were being overwhelmed at their position at the second floor when SPARTAN-117 came to assist, killing all the Covenant and repulsing them back to their landing ship. SPARTAN-117 then moved to adjacent Hangar A-02.

Hangar A-02, also known as Hanger Bay B, is a generic United Nations Space Command term for one of the two-story [[Longsword]] and Pelican hangars on the port side of an Orbital Magnetic Accelerator Cannon Platform. During the [[First Battle of Earth]], Hangar A-02 was invaded by Covenant boarders. A Covenant Boarding Craft had docked and deployed waves of Grunts and Elites. Marine defenders were overwhelmed and forced to retreat to the mouth of the bay, where several soldiers were under suppressive fire from two [[Plasma Cannons]] manned by Gunner Grunts on the second floor. [[Spartan 117]] then arrived from Hangar A-01, bolstering the Marine forces. The group was able to kill all of the Covenant boarders and repulse them back to their landing ship.

Hangar C-01 is a generic United Nations Space Command term for one of the two-deck Longsword and Pelican hangers below the MAC gun on an Orbital Defense Platform. During the First Battle of Earth, SPARTAN-117 was able to kill all Covenant defending the bomb in Firing Control and take it to Hangar C-01. He then activated the airlock door, explosively decompressing the bay. The [[SPARTAN-II]] was miraculously able to guide his trajectory to intersect with a nearby unshielded Covenant [[Assault Carrier]]. He used the bomb to destroy the enemy vessel and safely arrived on the ''In Amber Clad''.

MAC Storage is a generic United Nations Space Command term for either of the two areas on an Orbital Magnetic Accelerator Cannon Platform between the armories and Firing Control where MAC rounds are stored.
