When the [[Apocalypso]] tumbled into real-space, being carried along in the wake of a freak Slipspace anomaly due to the activation of a mysterious [[Deep-Space Artifact|Forerunner artifact]], the anomaly intersected Nassau Station; creating a semi-stable "bubble" in the space/time continuum on its way back to the 21st Century. |

| '''Nassau Station''' is one of the three hundred {{Class|Moncton|orbital weapon platform}}s set in [[Geosynchronous Orbit|geosynchronous orbit]] around [[Earth]].{{Ref/Reuse|HU4}} The station is likely oriented over [[Wikipedia:Nassau, Bahamas|Nassau, Bahamas]], located in the [[Wikipedia:Caribbean Sea|Caribbean Sea]].

| ==History==
| | For the time being [[Spartan-458]] is trapped in the 21st century; guarding Nassau Station's secrets with all but lethal force (she realizes killing someone in the past could have dire consequences), waiting for the "bubble" to collapse and hopefully returning her to the year 2552. |
| ''Nassau Station'' participated in the defense of Earth against [[Truth's fleet]] during the [[Battle for Earth]]. Using vectoring data gathered by the [[Tykos 30]] in [[Ruwan Ackerson]]'s bloodstream, ''Nassau Station'' managed to destroy the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Harbinger of Piety]]'' in one shot, killing the [[San'Shyuum]] [[Minister of Inquisition]].{{Ref/Comic|Id=HU4|HU|Issue=4}}

| ''[[Wikipedia:Dead or Alive 4|Dead or Alive 4]]'' features [[Nicole-458]] being aboard ''Nassau Station'' when it is sent back in time. According to the non-canon backstory created for the game, when the {{UNSCShip|Apocalypso}} tumbled into real-space, being carried along in the wake of a freak [[Slipspace]] anomaly due to the activation of a mysterious [[Deep-space artifact|Forerunner artifact]], the anomaly intersected ''Nassau Station'', creating a semi-stable "bubble" in the space/time continuum on its way back to the 21st Century. Nicole is trapped in the 21st century, guarding Nassau Station's secrets with anything but lethal force (she realizes killing someone in the past could have dire consequences) and waiting for the "bubble" to collapse and hopefully returning her to the year [[2552]].{{Ref/Site|URL=http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=7349|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Building a Spartan|D=5|M=2|Y=2021}} Due to [[Nicole-458#Canon status|the issues noted in the Nicole-458 article]], this particular appearance of ''Nassau Station'' and Spartan-458 are not considered canon in core canon ''Halo'' universe.
