'''Ares missiles''' were ship-to-ship missiles carried by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] capital ships for engaging enemy warships in space combat.<ref name="HETILATPDOPJCS4"/>

==Description==
They were utilized in the 25th century, early in the [[Insurrection]] before they were replaced by the [[Archer missile]] which remained the standard missile on UNSC warships through the [[Human-Covenant War]].

Unlike its successors, whose pods carry thirty or more missiles, an Ares silo carried only a single missile. Warships historically carried far fewer Ares missiles than Archer missiles. For example, [[UNSC destroyer]]s in [[2494]] carried [[seven]] Ares missiles total, whereas by [[2552]], destroyers carried 26 Archer pods of 30 missiles each, for a total of 780 missiles.

==Trivia==
*The missile was named after the [[wikipedia:Ares|Greek god of war]].
