| The '''Ares missile''' is an anti-ship [[missile delivery system]] carried predominantly by [[Colonial Military Authority]] warships, intended for engaging enemy ships in space combat.{{Ref/Reuse|HETILATPDOPJCS4}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFoundations|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-foundations|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Foundations|D=12|M=01|Y=2022}} The transfer of CMA military assets into the control of the [[United Nations Space Command]] would see it used by the UNSC, though seemingly eventually retired.
| | '''Ares missiles''' were ship-to-ship missiles carried by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] capital ships for engaging enemy warships in space combat.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', page 439</ref> |

| ==Overview== | | ==Description== |
| 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 missile]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|HETILATPDOPJCS4}} Ares missiles were typically mounted on the ships of the [[CMA Navy]] while the [[UNSC Navy]] preferred Archers.
| | 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]]. |
|
| |
|
| The UNSC's [[Unidentified UNSC light destroyer class|unnamed light destroyer]] classification carried seven Ares silos, each stocking a single missile.{{Ref/Reuse|HETILATPDOPJCS4}}
| | 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|UNSC destroyers]] 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. |
