An '''Orbital Defense Generator''', or '''ODG''', is a large groundside power plant used to provide the energy needed by [[Orbital Defense Platform|Orbital Defense Platforms]] to fire their [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]. | An '''Orbital Defense Generator''', or '''ODG''', is a large groundside power plant used to provide the energy needed by [[Orbital Defense Platform|Orbital Defense Platforms]] to fire their [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]].<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''</ref> | ||
Prior to the [[First Battle of Reach]], Reach had seven ODGs to power twenty ODPs. As demonstrated during the battle, ODGs were vulnerable to ground assault, and the failure of [[UNSC]] ground forces to protect the power plants and the resulting nullification of the planet's ODPs was a major factor in the battle's outcome and resulted in the loss of [[Reach]]. There were also ODGs on [[Earth]] to power the Orbital MAC guns.<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]''</ref> | Prior to the [[First Battle of Reach]], Reach had seven ODGs to power twenty ODPs.

Although never explicitly elaborated upon, it likely seems that the means of power transmission from the ODGs on the ground to the ODPs in orbit was through a means similar to [[Wikipedia:Rectenna|rectennas]], a form of a high powered antenna. | Although never explicitly elaborated upon, it likely seems that the means of power transmission from the ODGs on the ground to the ODPs in orbit was through a means similar to [[Wikipedia:Rectenna|rectennas]], a form of a high powered antenna. | ||
