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.

Players spawn inside the bunks, in the center of the Station.
Next to the spawn, you'll find the Anti Boarding Armoury alongside a barely-furnished mess hall.
At the very edge of the station, you'll find 2 Hangers and 2 armouries just below them (not they're not connected)
In the 4 corners of the station, you can find Four umbilicals, used for connection to nearby ships, planets and other such vessels.

on the 2nd level, you'll find multiple rooms which expand the capabilities of the Station. Just to the right of the stairs you can find the entrance to the Bridge which can also provide access to both the MAC Cannon Control and Nucelar Device . The Bridge also provides access to the ONI Cryopods which are used for objectives. Other than that, there's the Brig to the north east of the stairs, and a Medical Bay to treat any wounded.
