Editing Signal flare

'''Signal flares''' are a type of pyrotechnic that produce a brilliant light or intense heat without an explosion. Flares are used for signaling, illumination, or defensive countermeasures in civilian and military applications. Flares may be ground pyrotechnics, projectile pyrotechnics, or parachute-suspended to provide maximum illumination time over a large area. Projectile pyrotechnics may be dropped from aircraft, fired from rocket or artillery, or deployed by [[flare gun]]s or handheld percussive tubes.

Signal flares seem to be standard equipment for [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] servicemen.
