'''FENRIS Nuclear Warheads''' are retired low-yield thermonuclear devices that the [[UNSC]] once used. They were replaced by even more powerful warheads. However, recent actions have depleted the UNSC nuclear stockpile and these retired warheads, slated for conversion and introversion into peaceful purposes, were the only bombs they had left.

The casings of the warheads were super hardened. The reason for this was to contain the radiation and to hold the energy for a bit longer to boost the thermonuclear yield. They could only be detonated by remote, so with out the detonator they were as useful as paper weights.<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 39</ref>

These warheads have only been mentioned in [[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], when [[Blue Team]] had to infiltrate the rebel base, [[Camp New Hope]] on the planet [[Victoria]], to recover three bombs.<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 34</ref>. This mission took place in the year [[2531]]. They will not be seen again until [[2552]], when Blue Team had to stop a group of [[Brutes]] from stealing 12 FENRIS warheads using the UNSC [[Centennial Orbital Elevator]]. It is assumed that the warheads, were still used in the time between the above dates.
