| | An '''Orbital Defense Generator''', or '''ODG''', was a large groundside power plant used to provide the energy needed by [[Orbital Defense Platform]]s to fire their primary weapon. |

| An '''orbital defense generator''', abbreviated to '''ODG''' in alphanumerical site designations, is a large groundside power plant used to provide the energy needed by {{Class|Erőd|orbital weapon platform}}s to fire their [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=TFoRChapter33|HTFoR|Chapter=33}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=36}} | |

| ==Overview==
| | Prior to the [[Battle of Reach]], Reach had seven ODGs to power fifteen ODPs. As demonstrated during the battle, ODGs were vulnerable to ground assault, and the failure of UNSC ground forces to protect the power plants and the resulting nullification of the planet's ODPs was a major factor in the battle's outcome. |

| ===Usage=== | | ==Speculation== |
| Prior to the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Reach]] had [[seven]] ODG facilities to power twenty ODPs. As demonstrated during the battle, ODGs were vulnerable to ground assault, and the failure of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] ground forces to protect the power plants and the resulting nullification of the planet's ODPs was a major factor in the battle's outcome and resulted in the loss of Reach. These fusion reactor complexes allowed the orbital guns to sustain a rate of fire of one round every five seconds.{{Ref/Reuse|TFoRChapter33}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
| | Although never explicitly elaborated upon, it seems likely that the means of power transmission from the ODGs on the ground to the ODPs in orbit was through a means similar to [[Wikipedia:Rectenna|rectennas]]. |
