Orbital defense platforms are frequently placed in [[geosynchronous orbit]] and deployed in groups, or clusters, of two to five platforms. The well-equipped and large bridge of an ODP is suitable for directing large-scale engagements. Such was the case when [[Lord Hood|Fleet Admiral Sir Terrence Hood]] directed UNSC forces from an ODP during the [[Battle of Earth]]. These platforms are capable of destroying even the largest of [[Covenant]] capital ships but are vulnerable to | Orbital defense platforms are frequently placed in [[geosynchronous orbit]] and deployed in groups, or clusters, of two to five platforms.

Such was the case when [[Lord Hood|Fleet Admiral Sir Terrence Hood]] directed UNSC forces from an ODP during the [[Battle of Earth]]. These platforms are capable of destroying even the largest of [[Covenant]] capital ships but are vulnerable to {{R'sisho-pattern Tick]] which can avoid the heavy slugs and latch onto the stations. If they survive the point defense guns, it is up to the UNSC personnel within the stations to repel any [[Boarding|boarders]].{{Ref/Reuse|cairo}} | ||
