An '''orbital defense generator''', or '''ODG''', is a large groundside power plant used to provide the energy needed by [[orbital defense platform]]s to fire their [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]].<ref name="FoR">'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', page ??</ref> | |||
An '''orbital defense generator''', | |||
Prior to the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Reach]] had [[List of "Seven" References in Halo|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"/> | |||
The only named ODG facilities are the [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331|ODG A-331]] and [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-412|ODG A-412]] on Reach. | |||

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. | |||
