The Orbital Defense Command is a functional component of the UNSC Air Force, charged with orbital planetary defense for the colonies under the purview of the Unified Earth Government.[1][2] The command operates and maintains the vast array of defense platforms in geosynchronous orbit around Earth and the Inner Colonies,[1] such as Reach and New Carthage.[3][4]
The Orbital Defense Command's network of defense platforms serve as the first line of defense for colonies and works closely with the UNSC Navy's Fleet Command.[1][2]
Behind the scenes
While orbital defense platforms have been commonly known elements in the Halo universe since 2001's The Fall of Reach, it was only until Halo 4 that the unit commanding these stations was actually named.
