…With coordinated fire from the Athens and the Malta, nothing's getting past this battle cluster in one piece.

Athens Station (HCS: ODA-144)[citation needed] was a UNSC Orbital Defense Platform in geosynchronous orbit above Earth. It was in the same battle cluster as both Cairo Station and Malta Station.[4]
Operational History[]
During the Battle of Earth, the Athens was destroyed right after the Malta and in the same fashion: Covenant boarders placed an antimatter charge on the station and then withdrew prior to its detonation. This of course led the human forces on board to believe they had beaten the Covenant back.[4]
After both Athens and Malta were destroyed, the Prophet of Regret's Assault Carrier broke through the orbital defenses to the surface of Earth.[4]
