'''Probe Relay Station Io''', or '''Io Station''', is a [[United Nations Space Command]] military platform in orbit around [[Io]], the third-largest moon of [[Jupiter]].<ref name="h2aterminal1">''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', [[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 1]]</ref>

When the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] exited [[slipspace]] in the [[Sol system]] and passed near Io before the [[Battle of Earth]], Io Station's Probe Charlie Three-One-Niner detected the fleet and reported it to a naval crewman aboard the station. At first, the crewman believed that the detection was a faulty reading, but the station's computer confirmed the probe was functioning properly. The crewman then had the computer alert the [[UNSC Home Fleet]] that the Covenant was in the Sol system en route to [[Earth]], as the Fleet of Sacred Consecration passed over Io Station.{{Ref/Reuse|h2aterminal1}} [[Cortana]] on ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]'' received the warning and informed [[Terrence Hood|Fleet Admiral Lord Terrence Hood]].<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level [[Cairo Station]]</ref> The station contacted [[John-117]] on the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] before the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] contacted ''Cairo Station'' later in the battle.<ref>''[[Halo: Uprising]]''</ref>
