Twenty orbital [[Super-MAC Cannons]] were used to defend the planet [[Reach]] from Covenant invasion, but they soon fell as the [[Covenant]] destroyed the underground generators that powered them.  The planet [[Earth]] had 16, but production was stepped up quickly after [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], bringing the total up to 300.  Some of the more famed Super MAC Orbital Stations above Earth are:

The very last transmissions from the Malta to the Cairo are listed below:
 
1.
CAIRO DEFENSE COORDINATOR (loudspeakers):
 
Alert. Boarders inbound.
 
SGT. JOHNSON (radio):
 
How's it going, Malta?
 
MALTA DEFENSE COORDINATOR (radio):
 
Stand by…they're latched! Check your targets, watch the crossfire. They're in standard formation, little bastards up front, big ones in back. Good luck, Cairo.
 
SGT. JOHNSON:
 
Field of fire on that bulkhead. Soon as that door opens…let ‘em have it!
 
2.
CAIRO DEFENSE COORDINATOR (loudspeakers):
 
We've got boarders in the portside bays.
 
(Once you finish a fight near a set of bay windows)
 
MARINE CS2:
 
Hey, check it out! The Malta's already driven off its boarders.
 
CORTANA (radio):
 
Malta, what is your status?
 
MALTA DEFENSE COORDINATOR (radio):
 
I don't believe it! They're retreating, we won!
 
(The Malta detonates in a huge plume of fire, the MAC gun breaking loose and tumbling away)
 
MARINE CS2:
 
This is bad, real bad!
