SRR stations come in different shapes. Some of them, such as ''[[Cradle]]'', are essentially large plates of [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A]], square-shaped and measuring one kilometer by one kilometer, while others, such as ''[[Anchor 9]]'' are more complex in construction, featuring three main sections connected by beamwork and a central hull.<ref name="vis"/> ''Cradle''-type stations are equipped with subluminal [[Fusion drive|drive engines]] as well as a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive]], allowing them to travel with [[UNSC fleet]]s and provide repairs when needed. | SRR stations come in different shapes.

As the fortunes of war against the [[Covenant]] worsened, the UNSC began to use such stations as shields for their [[UNSC fleet|fleets]] in major battles. Four such stations were destroyed with all hands lost in the battles of [[Sigma Octanus IV]] and [[Fall of Reach|Reach]], including the UNSC ''Cradle'', which sacrificed itself to save the UNSC fleet at the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] from destruction.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 192-193''</ref> | As the fortunes of war against the [[Covenant]] worsened, the UNSC began to use such stations as shields for their [[UNSC fleet|fleets]] in major battles.
