'''Apogee Station''' was the primary settlement on the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Meridian]] following [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation]]'s recolonization of the [[moon]].{{Ref/Level|Id=H5MS|H5G|Meridian Station (level)|Meridian Station}} A vast [[Forerunner]] structure was located under the surface of Apogee Station.{{Ref/Level|Id=unconfirmed|H5G|Unconfirmed}} Apogee Station was heavily damaged in [[2558]] after the activation of a [[Guardian]] on Meridian.{{Ref/Level|Id=evacuation|H5G|Evacuation}}

==History==
Following the [[glassing]] of Meridian during the [[Covenant]]'s [[Battle of Meridian|conquest]] of the planet in [[2552]], the Liang-Dortmund Corporation established several outposts on the now-glassed planetary surface to act as bases from which mining operations could be conducted. A large underground mining site was established at Apogee itself, which eventually dug its way into a buried [[Forerunner]] complex far below the surface of the planet. The so-called "anomaly at Apogee Station" was later reported [[Governor]] [[Sloan]] by [[Matt Riley]], with [[Andrew Thivyanathan]] attempting to break into the structure manually in the hopes of a sizeable bonus from Liang-Dortmund.{{Ref/Game|H5G|Mission Intel|Detail=Message from Apogee Station}}

===Created uprising===
{{Main|Battle of Meridian (2558)|Created uprising}}
In [[2558#October|October 2558]], Apogee Station came under attack by [[Promethean]] forces under the control of [[Cortana]]. Shortly after the attack began, a {{Class|Winter|prowler}} [[ONI Acrisius|ONI ''Acrisius'']] stolen by [[Blue Team]] landed at Apogee Station, and Blue Team made their way inside the mines underneath the settlement.{{Ref/Reuse|H5MS}} While he played the fool during the attack, planetary [[Governor]] [[Sloan]] was aware of the attack and elected not to inform the colonists at Apogee - something he later expressed regret for when facing his own death.{{Ref/Novel|Id=MDHC|HMerDi|Detail=Adjunct - [[Meridian Homecoming]]}}

Shortly after Blue Team's arrival, [[Fireteam Osiris]] also came to Meridian searching for Blue Team in accordance with the [[STOLEN GAUNTLET]] protocol. While attempting to find information on Blue Team's whereabouts in [[Meridian Station (location)|Meridian Station]], one of the miners accidentally disclosed Blue Team's sighting at Apogee while dismissing the [[United Nations Space Command]] presence on the planet. Once they informed Sloan of this development, Sloan provided two [[Corp Pelican]]s with which Osiris could use to travel to Apogee.{{Ref/Reuse|H5MS}}

Osiris and a team of armed miners arrived at Apogee Station and began to fight off the Promethean attackers, stumbling upon Blue Team's landed ship in the process. As they progressed into the mines under Apogee Station, they stumbled into the underground Forerunner structure and eventually encountered Blue Team at the site of a buried [[Guardian Custode]]. The two teams had a brief squabble before the Guardian activated and took Blue Team with it, leaving Osiris to evacuate offworld via conventional methods.{{Ref/Reuse|unconfirmed}}

Following the [[Battle over Installation 07|defeat]] of the Created in late [[2559]], Apogee station remained abandoned. While walking the planet embodied in a [[Promethean Knight]] shell, [[High Auxiliary]] [[Sloan]] briefly gave consideration to Apogee and the [[Darkstar Station|several]] [[Expo Station|other]] [[Meridian Station (location)|abandoned]] [[Jorta Station|stations]] littering Meridian's surface.{{Ref/Reuse|MDHC}}
