The ''Moncton''-class, unlike | The ''Moncton''-class, unlike its cousin in the {{Class|Erőd|orbital weapon platform|}}, was built with an on-board power source. As well as a [[fusion reactor]], the lower stalk of the station was composed of stacked liquid-metal capacitors, which allowed for the rapid firing of its MAC so long as there is charge in their cells.

By the war's end, Cairo Station was one of the very few ''Moncton''-class OWPs to survive the month-long orbital [[space warfare]] campaign in late 2552. It remains a key part of of Earth's orbital grid, alongside newly-constructed replacements for the Athens and Malta platforms.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | By the war's end, Cairo Station was one of the very few ''Moncton''-class OWPs to survive the month-long orbital [[space warfare]] campaign in late 2552.
