'''''Cairo Station''''', [[Hull Classification Symbol]] '''ODA-142''', was an [[Orbital Defense Platform]] deployed at Earth.  The station was placed in [[wikipedia:Geosynchronous orbit|geosynchronous orbit]] approximately over the city of [[wikipedia:Cairo|Cairo]], giving the station its name.  ''Cairo'' was in the same battle cluster as ''[[Athens Station]]'' and ''[[Malta Station]]'', making the Mediterranean area their immediate zone of responsibility.
 
==History==
{{Cairo Locations}}
In [[2552]], [[John-117]] received the [[MJOLNIR Armor|MJOLNIR Mk. VI armor]] in the ''Cairo'' armory prior to attending an awards ceremony on the station's command center.  The ceremony was interrupted by the [[First Battle of Earth]] with [[Lord Terrence Hood|Fleet Admiral Hood]] commanding UNSC forces from the station.  Unlike ''Athens'' and ''Malta'', ''Cairo'' survived the [[Covenant]] attempt to detonate an [[Anti-Matter Bomb]] onboard.  In an ironic twist, the bomb was located and used by [[John-117]] to destroy a Covenant [[Covenant Assault Carrier|assault carrier]]<ref>Halo 2, [[Cairo Station (Level)]], cutscene</ref>.
