+== Operational history ==
+During the [[Battle of Earth]], the ''Athens'' was destroyed right after the ''Malta'' and in the same fashion: [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] boarders placed a [[Antimatter charge|Covenant Bomb]] on the station and then withdrew prior to its detonation. This, of course, led the human forces onboard to believe they had beaten the Covenant back.
