VE-3 nuclear missiles are a class of Shiva-class nuclear missile. In 2543, Vice Admiral Preston Jeremiah Cole requested 105 such missiles from the Reach Logistics Office for the impending Battle of Psi Serpentis. These missiles were presumably used against Viperidae's unstable core, possibly indicating that this particular variant of Shiva missile deals greater damage in this environment.^[1]
