The '''Scorpion missile''' is a type of explosive ordnance used by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. These missiles are commonly mounted on the UNSC's [[AV-19 SkyHawk]] jets and occasionally [[GA-TL1 Longsword]]s.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc09|Enc09|Page=251}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=261}} They are equipped with motion tracking systems and proximity detonators that greatly increase their chances of crippling or destroying a target. They are also able to attain high cruising speeds and are very accurate, thanks to their advanced guidance systems, which quickly locate and lock onto a target.{{Ref/Novel|Id=TFOR27|TFOR|Chapter=27}}


==Operational history==
{{Article Quote|Were you looking for the [[M808B Scorpion MBT|Scorpion]], the UNSC Main Battle Tank?}}
During the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] dispatched a SkyHawk fighter to attack [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] and the [[AI]] [[Cortana]] while the pair were on a testing run, in an effort to kill these threats to Ackerson's success. The SkyHawk launched a Scorpion missile at the Spartan, but it failed to kill him, as John-117 literally swatted the missile away with his [[Energy shielding|energy shielded]] arm, a unique improvisation on the part of the Master Chief, made possible only by the aid of Cortana.{{Ref/Reuse|TFOR27}}

'''Scorpion''' rockets are a type of explosive ordinance used by the [[UNSC]]. These rockets are commonly mounted on the UNSC's [[SkyHawk]] jets and [[Longsword]] fighters for use in combat against groups such as the Covenant. They are equipped with motion tracking systems and proximity detonators, that greatly increase their chances of hitting or destroying a target. They are also able to attain high cruising speeds and are very accurate, thanks to their advanced guidance systems, which quickly locate and lock on to a target. Thanks to these state-of-the art features Scorpion Rockets are capable of destroying even the most heavily armored of [[tanks]].
