[[Human]] space stations were constructed across [[Sol system|Sol]] with the advent of interplanetary colonization in the late 21st century, followed by [[Human colonies|other star systems]] in humanity's subsequent interstellar era. By the 26th century, space stations had come to fill a broad range of roles as starship construction and docking facilities, heavily-armed defensive outposts, [[UNSC fleet|fleet]] support, even as colony habitats, in addition to their original primary role as science facilities.

This stands in contrast to humanity's practice of concentrating their cultural, political and military centers on planets.
The [[Covenant]] operated numerous space stations, most notably their capital city [[High Charity]], a mobile station almost constantly on the move.
