ODPs do not possess the power generation equipment necessary to fire their main armament. Instead, they receive power from [[orbital defense generator|ground-based generators]]. An effective strategy to neutralize the formidable ODPs would be to disable the generators via ground assault. This would disable the platform's weaponry without destroying it, allowing this valuable prize to be captured or destroyed outright. The Covenant used this strategy during their invasion of [[Reach]], dropping troops to the planet's surface and destroying these generators. This paved the way for Covenant forces to completely overwhelm the UNSC forces in the space battle over Reach. | ODPs do not possess the power generation equipment necessary to fire their main armament.
