Casimir Station is a space station that is presumably in orbit of Reach.

History

On the morning of August 30, 2552, Ensign William Lovell was in contact with Casimir Station, requesting a check on the sensors of the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, which was picking up unusual EM readings bouncing off Turul. Unbeknownst to the crew of the ship, which was being kept ignorant of the Covenant invasion, the readings were actually a result of battles occurring on the other side of the planet.[1]

Trivia

Casimir Station shares its name with the city of Casimir on the planet Reach. It is unknown whether the two share a relationship like those of Cairo Station's orbit over the city of Cairo on Earth. It is possible that it was named after Hendrik Casimir, one of the scientists who discovered the Casimir effect.
