'''''Athens Station''''', [[Hull Classification Symbol]] '''ODA-144''', was a [[UNSC]] [[Orbital Defense Platform]] in [[wikipedia:Geosynchronous orbit|geosynchronous orbit]] above [[Earth]]. It was so named because it held geosynchronous orbit above the city of [[wikipedia:Athens|Athens]] ([[Greece]]). <ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', [[Cairo Station (Level)]]</ref> It was in the same battle cluster as both ''[[Cairo Station]]'' and ''[[Malta Station]]''. | '''''Athens Station''''', [[Hull Classification Symbol]] '''ODA-144''', was a [[UNSC]] [[Orbital Defense Platform]] in [[wikipedia:Geosynchronous orbit|geosynchronous orbit]] above [[Earth]].

During the [[First Battle of Earth]], the ''Athens'' was destroyed right after the ''Malta'' and in the same fashion: [[Covenant]] boarders placed a [[Covenant Bomb]] on the station and then withdrew prior to its detonation. This of course led the human forces onboard to believe they had beaten the Covenant back. | During the [[First Battle of Earth]], the ''Athens'' was destroyed right after the ''Malta'' and in the same fashion: [[Covenant]] boarders placed a [[Covenant Bomb]] on the station and then withdrew prior to its detonation.
