| The article says that the yield is 15 kilotons, but then says that the yield is one megaton. Which is the correct yield?

| :I know I'm a little late to the party, but it's possible the weapon has a variable yield. This is a technology that's existed since the 1960's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_yield Especially since this is a tactical device, it would be practical to let the operator scale down the explosion depending on their mission. I'm speculating here, but I think the "63 Terajoules" was set by Kat or Thom specifically for this mission. Why such a low yield for this mission when the device can go up to nearly 1Mt? Again, I can only speculate. Perhaps they wanted to limit collateral damage to the colony below (they're delivering hope, after all). Alternatively maybe they wanted to ensure the Covenant ship's reactor would explode, and to do that they wanted to make sure they wouldn't vaporize the reactor.
