Rich in natural resources such as ore and hydrocarbons, Olympus Prime became the chief industrial center of humanity, sporting vast production centers both on the surface and in orbit. The Scourge left the orbital structures in place during their invasion and converted them for their use, and as a result the planet hosted the second largest fleet presence outside of Earth. As a result, no operations on the surface of Olympus Prime have begun due to continual, large-scale orbital combat. Such fleet losses for both the UCM and Scourge have been so numerous that debris now encircles the planet, rendering it unsafe for bulk landers to pass through and deliver troops until enough of the debris has burned up on reentry. Despite the ongoing orbital difficulties faced by the UCM, PHR and Resistance forces have been observed by Recon teams engaging the Scourge on the surface around the capital city of Asphodel.

The orbital structures themselves host vast weapon arrays, and are large enough to insert troops on directly from strike carriers. Securing control of both them, and control systems on the nearby moon of Styx, are vital for permitting ground landings without unreasonable losses. Olympus II, V, and IX are also lower priority objectives but planned for future action, as they hold host to Scourge armies.
