Internally, the stations are remarkably spacious, complete with high ceilings and a monorail system to move personnel and equipment. In addition to numerous small craft bays, there are two docks for larger ships, such as [[freighter]]s, or even [[UNSC Frigate|frigates]]. These docking bays could possibly be used to hold [[Longsword fighter]]s used to protect the station from hostile spacecraft. The design incorporates many features against potential hostile boarding action, including security stations and small arms racks situated at strategic locations.<ref name="armory">Halo 2, [[The Armory (Level)]], Cutscene</ref> | Internally, the stations are remarkably spacious, complete with high ceilings and a monorail system to move personnel and equipment.

The primary and crucial armament is a Mk. V "''Super''" [[MAC]] gun capable of causing near-fatal damage to even a shielded [[Covenant]] capital warship with a single slug. It can shoot a shell at enormous velocities, plus the shell usually weighs 3,000 tons which is a factor to whether or not it can penetrate a enemy ship's shields in one shot.<ref name="armory"/> As with starship-mounted MACs, a platform's cannon is commonly controlled by an [[AI]]. | The primary and crucial armament is a Mk.
