'''''Malta Station''''', [[Hull Classification Symbol]] '''ODP-143''', was a [[UNSC]] [[Orbital Defense Platform]] in [[Earth]] orbit. It was so named because it held station above the island of Malta. It was in the same battle cluster as ''[[Athens Station]]'' and ''[[Cairo Station]]''. <ref>Halo 2, [[Cairo Station (Level)]]</ref>

During the [[First Battle of Earth]] the station was destroyed by a [[Covenant Bomb]] placed by [[Covenant]] boarders. ~~Not aware~~ of the invader's true intent, the withdrawal of the boarders was misinterpreted by some of station's crew members as a full retreat by the Covenant.

The destruction of ''Malta'', followed shortly after by that of ''Athens'' allowed the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Covenant Assault Carrier|Assault Carrier]] to break through the orbital defenses to the [[Battle of New Mombasa|surface]] of [[Earth]].
