| ''Cairo Station'' firing control was the [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] firing control station of ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]''. During the [[Battle for Earth]], [[Covenant]] [[Naval 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]] and [[Cortana]] managed to disarm the bomb just in time (with seven seconds left) and later redeployed it to destroy [[Day of Jubilation|a]] [[Covenant assault carrier]].{{Ref/Reuse|cairo}}

| | Cairo Station Firing Control was the [[United Nations Space Command]] [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] firing control station of [[Cairo Station]]. During the [[First Battle of Earth]], [[Covenant]] boarders invaded Firing Control, killing the [[Marine]]s (except one if you find him) stationed there and planting a impossibly large bomb (stronger than a nuclear bomb according to the cinematics)planned to destroy the orbital station, but they were repulsed by [[SPARTAN-117|The Master Chief]]. |
