+An '''orbital defense generator''', abbreviated to '''ODG''' in alphanumerical site designations, is a large groundside power plant used to provide the energy needed by [[orbital defense platform]]s to fire their [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]].<ref name="TFoRChapter31"> '''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''Chapter 31'' </ref>
-Prior to the [[Fall 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 [[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"/>
+Prior to the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Reach]] had [[seven]] ODG facilities 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. These fusion reactor complexes allowed the orbital guns to sustain a rate of fire of one round every five seconds.<ref name="TFoRChapter31"/>
 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.
