Orbital defense platforms are frequently placed in geosynchronous orbit and deployed in groups, or clusters, of two to five platforms.
Some classes of ODP have the hull classification symbol of OWP. Stations falling into this classification include unmanned weapon satellites all the way to large stations with a capital grade Magnetic Accelerator Cannon built into it. Orbital defense platform ( ODP), also known as an orbital weapon platform, is a general term for a wide variety of space stations employed by the UNSC.
' That MAC gun can put a round clean through a Covenant capital ship.' - Avery Johnson, describing the gun of a Moncton-class orbital weapons platform.
