I'm not sure how valid the calculator is (http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Science/Nuke.html) but in order to get a blast big enough to hit both a small moon and at least a quarter of a planet, the figures point out a tonnage of at least 1,000,000,000 megatons. that's assumeing that Malhiem (qouted as "Tiny") is similar to the Martian moon Deimos and is in orbit at approximatly 20,000 kilometers. This would truely be a planet killer, and rightly deserves the name.

:I personally wouldn't consider anything from SD.net to be valid. M. Wong and his entourage are to facts what prostitution is to abstinence. The calculations tend to be onesided, biased, and ignorant of present evidence and facts. Not to mention that any calculations Wong and group makes in regards to nukes as it applies to his personal view of his fandoms superiority doesn't apply to Halo anyway. Its all original research.--[[wikia:templarsoftwilight:user:Kahn iceay|Kahn Iceay]] 20:38, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

Is there a source on the name of NOVA? According to my book, Whitcomb calls it the Nova, as in a traditional proper noun. --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">Dragon<font color="#F28500">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="#4D56B1">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 19:52, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
