'''''Athens Station''''', [[Hull Classification Symbol]] '''ODA-144''', was a [[UNSC]] [[Orbital Defense Platform]] in [[Geosynchronous Orbit]] above [[Earth]]. It was so named because it held geosynchronous orbit above the city of [[Athens (City)|Athens]] ([[Greece]]). <ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', level ''[[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> However, by the looks of the station's location through the Cairo Station's windows, It appears to be much further south than Athens really is. It was in the same battle cluster as both ''[[Cairo Station]]'' and ''[[Malta Station]]''.
 
During the [[Battle of Earth]], the ''Athens'' was destroyed right after the ''Malta'' and in the same fashion: [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] boarders placed a [[Covenant Bomb]] on the station and then withdrew prior to its detonation. This of course led the human forces onboard to believe they had beaten the Covenant back.
 
After both ''Athens'' and ''Malta'' were destroyed, the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Regret's Carrier|Assault Carrier]] broke through the orbital defenses to the [[Battle of Mombasa|surface]] of Earth.
