-An '''Orbital Defense Platform''' is a class of large [[UNSC]] space stations used to defend locations of great importance, typically planets of high strategic value.
+An '''Orbital Defense Platform''' is a class of large [[UNSC]] space station used to defend locations of great importance, typically planets of high strategic value.
-Stations 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]]. The most effective method to destroy these great Platforms is via Covenant Boarding Craft. These craft would avoid the heavy slugs, and then plant a bomb. In order to avoid this, the UNSC would attempt to repel the boarders.<ref name="cairo">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref>
