Prior to the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Reach]] had [[List of "Seven" References in Halo|seven]] ODGs to power twenty ODPs. As demonstrated during the battle, ODGs were vulnerable to ground assault, and the failure of [[United Nations Space Command|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 name="FoR"/>

The only named ODG facilities are the [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331|ODG A-331]] and [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-412|ODG A-412]] on Reach.
