'''Nassau Station''' was one of the three hundred [[Moncton-class orbital weapon platform|''Moncton''-class]] [[Orbital Defense Platform|orbital defense platforms]] set in [[Geosynchronous Orbit|geosynchronous orbit]] around [[Earth]]. The station was likely oriented over [[Wikipedia:Nassau, Bahamas|Nassau, Bahamas]], located in the [[Wikipedia:Caribbean Sea|Caribbean Sea]].<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]'' ('''[[Avery Junior Johnson]]''': ''"...The [[Cairo Station|Cairo]] is just one of three hundred geosync platforms."'')</ref>

Nassau Station participated in the defense of Earth against [[Truth's fleet]] during the [[Battle of Earth]]. Using vectoring data gathered by the [[Tykos 30]] in [[Ruwan Ackerson]]'s bloodstream, Nassau Station managed to destroy the [[CCS-class battlecruiser]] ''[[Harbinger of Piety]]'' in one shot, killing the [[San'Shyuum]] [[Minister of Inquisition]].<ref>'''Halo: Uprising''', ''[[Halo: Uprising Issue 4|Issue 4]]''</ref>

==Behind the scenes==

''[[Wikipedia:Dead or Alive 4|Dead or Alive 4]]'' features [[Nicole-458]] being aboard Nassau Station when it is sent back in time. According to the non-canon backstory created for the game, when the {{UNSCShip|Apocalypso}} tumbled into real-space, being carried along in the wake of a freak [[Slipspace]] anomaly due to the activation of a mysterious [[Deep-space artifact|Forerunner artifact]], the anomaly intersected ''Nassau Station''; creating a semi-stable "bubble" in the space/time continuum on its way back to the 21st Century. Nicole is trapped in the 21st century, guarding Nassau Station's secrets with anything but lethal force (she realizes killing someone in the past could have dire consequences) and waiting for the "bubble" to collapse and hopefully returning her to the year [[2552]].<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=7349 '''Bungie.net''': ''Building a Spartan'']</ref> Due to the issues noted in the Spartan-458 article, this particular appearance of Nassau Station and Spartan-458 are not considered canon in ''the'' Halo universe.
