Orbital Defense Platform "ODP" Cassius is the main orbital UNSC Installation in the 111 Tauri system.

Built to replace the aging "Cassius Station", a radical new design was implemented. Stepping away from retrofitting "rest stop" anchorages with MAC guns, the new platform was instead built from the keel out as a dedicated orbital defense base and system command hub.

With extensive combat control capabilities, and a new and improved "Super" MAC gun as its central component, this installation is ideal as a defensive hub. ODP Cassius orbits VT9.


Gameplay

Cassius Station is the main UNSC Installation in the 111 Tauri system, and is included in the Outer Colonies / Reclaimation / Revolution gamemodes.

For the UNSC, defending Cassius station from the Covenant or Insurrection is of vital importance due to the station acting as their main spawnpoint. If destroyed, many UNSC roles will no longer be able to spawn and the UNSC will have to rely on the help of the ONI forces on the secret military installation of VT9.

ODP New Cassius.png
Players spawn inside the bunks, in the center of the Station.
Next to the spawn, you'll find the Anti Boarding Armoury.
At the very top of the station, you'll find the AI Core and on the edges the Cargo Ship and the Hangar
In the 4 corners of the station arms, you can find Four umbilicals, used for connection to nearby ships, planets and other such vessels. Just below the AI core you can find the MAC Room

The Red Crosses. are the possible spots where the Antimatter Bomb can be placed, these are all random exept the one located in the MAC Room, which always spawns.

Boarding

The Blue Circles represent the possible spots where you can land with Boarding Pods

The Covenant can also use a spirit to land on the middle of any arm (West, East) or north, directly on top of the AI Core.

Its very important that the ship doesn't stay in sight of the ODP on the space map, as it can be shot down and the MAC projectiles can penetrate your shields on one hit
