Some of them, such as ''[[Cradle]]'', are essentially large plates of [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A]], square-shaped and measuring one kilometer by one kilometer, while others, such as ''[[Anchor 9]]'' are more complex in construction, featuring three main sections connected by beamwork and a central hull. Cradle-type stations are equipped with subluminal [[Fusion drive|drive engines]] as well as a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive]], allowing them to travel with [[UNSC fleet]]s and provide repairs when needed. | ||
One ''Cradle''-type station is capable of refitting six [[UNSC destroyer|destroyers]], three from her upper surface and three from her lower surface, in a matter of hours.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 156''</ref> The planet [[Reach]] had 18 SRR stations orbiting it by [[2552]]. | One ''Cradle''-type station is capable of refitting six [[UNSC destroyer|destroyers]], three from her upper surface and three from her lower surface, in a matter of hours.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 156''</ref> The planet [[Reach]] had 18 SRR stations orbiting it by [[2552]].<ref name="Anchor"/><ref name="vis"/> The mobile hospital ship {{UNSCShip|Hopeful}} was constructed from two scrapped SRR stations. | ||
As the fortunes of war against the [[Covenant]] worsened, the UNSC began to use such stations as shields for their [[UNSC fleet|fleets]] in major battles. Four such stations were destroyed with all hands lost in the battles of [[Sigma Octanus IV]] and [[Fall of Reach|Reach]], including the UNSC ''Cradle'', which sacrificed itself to save the UNSC fleet at the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] from destruction. | As the fortunes of war against the [[Covenant]] worsened, the UNSC began to use such stations as shields for their [[UNSC fleet|fleets]] in major battles.

Refit stations possess enough mass that their destruction can disperse debris widely enough to protect formations of ships from Covenant fire. This strategy of sacrifice was used effectively during the battles of Sigma Octanus IV<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 221-222'' (2010 Reissue)</ref> and Reach.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 334-336''</ref> | Refit stations possess enough mass that their destruction can disperse debris widely enough to protect formations of ships from Covenant fire.
