Cassius Station

Cassius Station is the main UNSC Installation in the 111 Tauri system, and is included in the Outer Colonies / Reclaimation / Revolution gamemodes. Cassius Station acts as a combination Orbital MAC Gun and main base for the UNSC forces in the 111 Tauri system. Cassius Station orbits VT9.

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.

The northen area of the bottom deck of Cassius Station is entirely dedicated to containing the MAC cannon. This can be configured for automatic or manual firing, and is used as a deterrent for ships moving into the range of Cassius Station.
A training room and arcade are provided for forces to use, alongside a minor anti-boarding armory.
The south of Cassius Station's second deck holds an array of emergency breach gear alongside a shuttle spawner console (see middle of southern section) and three umbilicals, used for connection to nearby ships, planets and other such vessels.
