The destruction of Athens

Athens Station, Hull Classification Symbol ODA-144, was a UNSC Orbital Defense Platform in geosynchronous orbit above Earth. It was so named because it held geosyncrhonous orbit above the city of Athens.[1] It was in the same battle cluster as Cairo Station and Malta Station.

During the First Battle of Earth, the Athens was destroyed after the Malta and in the same fashion: Covenant boarders placed a Covenant Bomb then withdrew prior to its detonation.

After both Athens and Malta were destroyed, the Prophet of Regret's assault carrier broke through the orbital defenses to the surface.
