Orbital defense platform: Difference between revisions

An Orbital Defense Platform is a small space station that is (in theory) in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosynchronous_orbit geosynchronous orbit] over a city on Earth for which it is named. On board the station is a small contigent of Marines, apparently as a defense force in the event of an enemy boarding. The station's main purpose and feature is its Mark V "Super" MAC gun, which is capable of destroying a Covenant ship with a single hit. The station also has two docking spaces for UNSC ships, apparently avaliable to evacuate station personel or for other miscellaneous activites. In [[Halo 2]], three stations are mentioned; [[Cairo Station]], [[Malta Station]] and [[Athens Station]]. The first level you are in combat in [[Halo 2]] starts on Cairo Station, for which the level is named.
