This '''''Erőd''-class orbital weapon platform'''{{Ref/Book|Id= | This '''''Erőd''-class orbital weapon platform'''{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=36}} is a classification of [[orbital defense platform]] utilized by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. They were prominent as the primary ODP classification present during the defense of [[Reach]].{{Ref/Reuse|fb}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFGlassed}} | ||
== | ==Overview== | ||
The station has a similar overall design to the {{Class|Moncton|orbital weapon platform}}, though lacks the ''Moncton''{{'}}s large habitation ring surrounding the gun mechanism. Two [[UNSC frigate|frigate]] docks are present to allow a friendly warship to dock at the station. The station itself has a height of around 2,400m (2,620ft),{{Ref/NoteReuse|Size}} roughly double that of the ''Moncton''. The longer acceleration channels on the OWP's spinal coilgun allow the projectile fired an extremely high muzzle velocity, capable of being fired at "point-four-tenths" the speed of light.{{Ref/Novel|HTFoR|Chapter=31}}{{Ref/Note|Due to ambiguity in the wording of this statement in the original ''Fall of Reach'' book, it is unclear what precise figure the source text intended.}} | |||
The outer hull of the station is coated in the dull grey characteristic of [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A battleplate]],{{Ref/Reuse|fb}} as opposed to the white [[durasteel]] of the ''Moncton''-class. | |||
===Armament=== | |||
This class of OWP has equipped a rapid fire [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon#.22Super.22 Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|Super MAC]],{{Ref/Reuse|fb}} that was among the most powerful ever built. The MAC was [[Orbital defense generator|powered by ground-based reactors]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFGlassed}} | |||

*''[[Quezon Station]]'' | As with {{Class|Moncton|orbital weapon platform}}s over [[Earth]], ''Erőd''-class weapon platforms over Reach are named after cities on the planet below. The ''Erőd''-class itself takes its name from [[Erőd]], a region on the surface of Reach. | ||
*''[[Quezon Station]]'' {{C|Named after [[Quezon]]}} | |||
*The station [[Casimir Station]] also shares its name with a [[Casimir|city on Reach]], indicating it may be part of the same class. | |||
==History== | |||
During the [[Fall of Reach]], the Covenant targeted the ''Erőd''-class stations and their generators on the surface of the [[planet]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
