==History==
== Operation history ==
On the morning of [[2552#August|August 30, 2552]], [[Ensign]] [[William Lovell]] was in contact with Casimir Station, requesting a check on the sensors of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, which was picking up unusual EM readings bouncing off [[Turul]]. Unbeknownst to the crew of the ship, which was being kept  ignorant of the [[Fall of Reach|Covenant invasion]], the readings were actually a result of battles occurring on the other side of the planet.<ref name="six">[[Data Drop/Six|''Office of Naval Intelligence//Section 3 - Data Drop Six'']]</ref>

==Trivia==
Casimir Station shares its name with the city of [[Casimir]] on the planet Reach. This may indicate the station to be an {{Class|Erőd|orbital weapon platform}}, following the trend of naming [[Orbital defense platform|OWP stations]] after cities on the planet below them (ie [[Quezon Station]] after [[Quezon]] on Reach, or [[Cairo Station]] after [[Cairo]] on [[Earth]]). It is possible that it was named after [[Wikipedia:Hendrik Casimir|Hendrik Casimir]], one of the scientists who discovered the [[Wikipedia:Casimir effect|Casimir effect]].
