'''Malta Station''' was one of [[Earth]]'s defending [[Orbital Defense Platform]] and was so named because it held station above the island of Malta.


'''Malta Station''' is an Orbital Defence Platform, above [[Earth]], similar to [[Cairo Station]]. It appears in the [[Cairo Station (Level)]]. It is in orbit over the small island (and country) of Malta. At one point in the level it can be seen exploding as a result of a [[Covenant]] [[Anti-Matter Bomb]]. During gameplay, you can listen to radio transmissions between ''Malta'' and ''Cairo''. The crew of the ''Malta'' believes to have driven off the [[Covenant]], while the enemy is really escaping from the blast radius of the bomb they've placed inside. After it's destruction, a Covenant Carrier flies through Malta's debris field towards Earth, leading many to believe that Malta was destroyed to stop the usage of it's MAC gun so the carrier could get through.
During the [[First Battle of Earth]] the station was destroyed by an [[Anti-Matter Bomb]] placed by [[Covenant]] boarders. Not aware of the invader's true intent, the withdrawal of the boarders was misinterpreted by some of station's crew.
 
The destruction of [[Malta]], followed shortly after by [[Athens Station]], allowed the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Covenant Assault Carrier|assault carrier]] to break through the orbital defenses to the [[Battle of New Mombasa|surface]].

The Malta's destruction

I don't believe it! They're retreating, we've won!

- Unknown UNSC member, moments before the station's destruction[1]

Malta Station was one of Earth's defending Orbital Defense Platform and was so named because it held station above the island of Malta.

During the First Battle of Earth the station was destroyed by an Anti-Matter Bomb placed by Covenant boarders. Not aware of the invader's true intent, the withdrawal of the boarders was misinterpreted by some of station's crew.

The destruction of Malta, followed shortly after by Athens Station, allowed the Prophet of Regret's assault carrier to break through the orbital defenses to the surface.
