UNSC Orbital Defense Platform

“That MAC gun can put a round clean through a Covenant Capital Ship.” -Sgt. Avery Johnson

One of the largest classes of UNSC orbital stations employed, the UNSC Orbital Defense Platform (also known as an Orbital Weapon Platform) is used as a strategic defense station high above worlds of great importance to the UNSC and humanity.

These stations are remarkably comfy and spacious given their purpose, fitted with state-of-the-art armories, medical facilities and recreational areas. But this doesn't undermine their functional use either; they are fitted with large storage areas, hangar bays built for specific purposes (ie, fighter bays, docking pays for Pelcians, etc) and plenty of armories to boot. They are also well armored, having been built for the specific use of being both a great defensive outpost while staying cozy doing so.

ODPs are also well armored. Fitted with multiple sizes of UNSC point-defense guns on the outside and defensive turrets inside to protect from both internal and external threats. However, the main gun that gives the facility it's distinct look and main purpose is the Mk. V "Super" MAC Cannon. The most powerful MAC ever built, they are claimed to be so powerful that they can cut a hole clean through a Covenant capital ship- even with shields.

Many of these stations were deployed to colonies of great importance, with the two most noteable being those defending planet Reach and Earth, resepctively. They are often built in small clusters of 2-5, in a geosynchronous orbit of a key city of importance below, which they are named after- the most famous of these clusters being those of Earth that defended Cairo, Malta and Athens, of which they were all named.

This build is rather large and resource-demanding. It is approx. half sized to the 'actual' thing, being a build 120,000 blocks large. Use at your own risk- if your computer can't handle it, don't use it.

You are free to use this build and upload it to collections- if used in any other way, please give credit to me. Enjoy.
