SRR stations come in different shapes. Some of them, such as ''[[Cradle]]'', are essentially large plates of [[Titanium-A armor|titanium-A]], square-shaped and measuring one kilometer by one kilometer, while others, such as ''[[Anchor 9]]'' are more complex in construction, featuring three main sections connected by beamwork and a central hull.

As the fortunes of war against the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] worsened, the UNSC began to use such stations as shields for their [[UNSC fleet|fleets]] in major battles. Four such stations were destroyed with all hands lost in the battles of [[Sigma Octanus IV]] and [[Fall of Reach|Reach]], including the UNSC ''Cradle'', which sacrificed itself to save the UNSC fleet at the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] from destruction. | As the fortunes of war against the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] worsened, the UNSC began to use such stations as shields for their [[UNSC fleet|fleets]] in major battles.
