Cairo Station firing control was the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] firing control station of [[Cairo Station]]. During the [[Battle of Earth]], [[Covenant]] [[Boarding|boarders]] invaded firing control, killing all the crew and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] (except one who was hiding behind a set of stairs) stationed there and planted a large bomb planned to destroy the orbital station, similar to how the nearby [[Athens Station|Athens]] and [[Malta Station|Malta]] stations were destroyed. [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]] and [[Cortana]] managed to disarm the bomb just in time (with seven seconds left) and later redeployed it to destroy a [[Covenant assault carrier]].<ref name="cairo"/> | |||
