Cairo Station, Hull Classification Symbol ODA-142, was a UNSC Orbital Defense Platform in Earth orbit. It was so named because it held station above the city of Cairo. It was in the same battle cluster as Athens Station and Malta Station.

History

In 2552, John-117 received the MJOLNIR Mk. VI armor in the Cairo armory prior to attending an awards ceremony on the station's command center. The ceremony was interrupted by the First Battle of Earth with Fleet Admiral Hood commanding UNSC forces from the station. Unlike Athens and Malta, Cairo survived the Covenant attempt to detonate an Anti-Matter Bomb onboard. In an ironic twist, the bomb was located and used by John-117 to destroy a Covenant assault carrier.
