This '''unidentified Covenant station''' was located in a dense [[asteroid]] field near the gas giant [[Oth Lodon]]. A former [[Covenant]] system defense platform,<ref>[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2994218_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2994218 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog Interaction'' (post 2994218)]</ref> the station had fallen under control of the [[New Colonial Alliance]], a [[human]] insurgent group, by [[2558]]. It was armed with a powerful [[energy projector|glassing cannon]] and was defended by numerous [[Plasma weaponry|plasma turrets]] as well as missile batteries of human design added as a further defense.<ref name="HE6"/> The station was manned by a predominantly [[human]] crew, with its control center fitted with human-made interface consoles.<ref name="HE5">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #5''</ref>

In [[2558]], the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} followed the coordinates to where the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} was believed to be. When they arrived at the coordinates, they found not the ''Spirit'' but [[Shipmaster]] [[Vata 'Gajat]]'s ship, which was docked to the station. [[Daniel Clayton|Captain Daniel Clayton]] contacted ''Infinity'', revealing himself to be aligned with the [[New Colonial Alliance]]. Intending to exact revenge on [[Terrence Hood|Admiral Terrence Hood]], Clayton fired the station's main energy beam at ''Infinity''.<ref name="HE5"/> After firing three consecutive times, the cannon overheated. NCA forces detected a team of Spartans approaching on [[OF92 Booster Frame]]s, so Clayton activated the station's point defense missile turrets. Clayton ordered 'Gajat to stop the Spartans, but 'Gajat decided to destroy ''Infinity'' instead. [[Fireteam Majestic]] and [[Sarah Palmer]] managed to avoid the missiles and boarded the station. The Spartans entered the command center and forced its crew to stand down. They then used the main cannon to destroy 'Gajat's flagship, killing him.<ref name="HE6">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #6''</ref>

Three days later, the UNSC sent a detachment of ships comprising an {{Class|Autumn|heavy cruiser}}, a {{Class|Charon|light frigate}} and a {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate}} to repair the ''Infinity'' and monitor the station.<ref name="HE6"/>
