Shiva-class nuclear missile: Difference between revisions

Line 36:

*[[wikipedia:Shiva|Shiva]] is the name of the Hindu god of both disaster and peace, who would destroy the world in order for it to be recreated.

*It should be noted that [[Covenant]] [[Capital ship]] shields have enough power to absorb a full thermonuclear blast from far away, but not a direct hit. If the warhead detonates inside the shield, the effects of the blast is multiplied tremendously, due to the ship's shields containing the blast. This was demonstrated in the [[Battle of Reach]] by [[Captain Keyes]] while commanding the [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|''Pillar of Autumn'']]<ref>Fall of Reach Page 322-324</ref>. However, it should also be noted that because of the varying payloads, a lighter warhead may not be able to eliminate a Covenant ship's shields, even from close range.

**Conjecture* As it is stated that the MAC has a TNT equivalent of 1.17 Teratons and, it is also stated that the Shiva-class Missile is more powerful the lowest possible yield of 1.171 Teratons (1 Teraton is equal to 1,000 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigaton gigatons]; 1,000,000 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaton megatons]; 1,000,000,000 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiloton kilotons]; or 1,000,000,000,000 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton tons] (one trillion tons) )
