Perihelion Station^[2] is an orbital space station utilized by the Office of Naval Intelligence's Materials Group in the production of MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3).^[1] It is in orbit of KC-59.^[2]

Overview

Design details

Perihelion Station takes the form of a cylindrical space station that rotates about its central axis.^[1] At one end of the station is a skyhook tether used to deliver materials for the production of MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor from a BXR Mining Corporation facility on KC-59 below.^[2]^[1] To aid in the manufacturing process of this armor, the facility features various kinds of equipment designed to create its individual components. At least part of the facility makes use of zero-gravity environments to construct its metal components and a system of magnets to move the components along the assembly line.^[1]

The station features at least one elevator used to transport personnel between its various levels. The top several levels of the station are occupied by a ringed combat deck. The very top floor of the combat deck hosts a recreation center along with multiple gymnasiums and rooms used for sparring. The second level from the top holds the armory and several multi-axis Brokkr Armor Mechanisms that assist Spartans with putting on and taking off their armor. The third level from the top holds a War Games simulation deck for use in testing the armor manufactured at the facility. Functioning as a Munera Platform, the simulation deck can be detached from the rest of the station if desired.

Spartan-II John-117's completed suit of MJOLNIR GEN3 armor aboard the station.

History

This Materials Group facility was constructed in orbit above KC-59 for the purpose of manufacturing MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor. By early 2559, the third generation of MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor had finished development and Perihelion was used in its production.^[1] On February 10, 2559,^[1]^[3] various technicians oversaw the creation of Master Chief Petty Officer John-117's suit of MJOLNIR Mark VI armor at Perihelion.^[1]

The UNSC Infinity would deploy Blue Team and Ninth Platoon to the planet and station in order to receive the MJOLNIR armor and test the ORCUS exoskeleton respectively. This would take place over three days beginning on September 19, 2559, and was done in preparation for Operation: WOLFE.^[2]

Trivia

The name of the station references the point in a planet, asteroid, or comet's orbit in which it is closest to its sun.

-The [[space station]] is in the shape of a cylinder and it rotates about its central axis. Also along its central axis is a tether that protrudes from one end of the cylinder. This tether is used by an elevator to and from the facility, presumably to deliver materials from a mine on the [[planet]] below used in the production of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]. To aid in the manufacturing process of this armor, the facility features various kinds of equipment designed to create its individual components. At least part of the facility makes use of zero-gravity environments to construct its metal components and a system of magnets to move the components along the assembly line.{{Ref/Reuse|StepInside}} Perihelion is connected to KC-59 via a [[Skyhook]].{{Ref/Reuse|From}}
