An '''Orbital Defense Generator''', or '''ODG''', is a large groundside power plant used to provide the energy needed by [[Orbital Defense Platform|Orbital Defense Platforms]] to fire their [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]].<ref name="FoR">'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page ??''</ref>

Prior to the [[Battle of Reach]], Reach had seven ODGs 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]]. There were also ODGs on [[Earth]] to power the Orbital MAC guns.<ref name="FoR"/>

==Speculation==
{{Conjecturalization}}
Although never explicitly elaborated upon, it likely seems 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]], a form of a high powered antenna.

-===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}}
