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"/> | Prior to the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Reach]] had [[List of "seven" references in Halo|seven]] ODGs to power twenty ODPs.
