In [[ | Hyperion nuclear missiles were already in service by [[2526]]. In that year, [[Christina Rice]] and [[James McCann]] of the [[Bandusa Insurrectionist group]] attempted to steal Hyperion-class warheads for a potential attack. Before they could put their plan into practice, however, they were arrested by [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] agents in [[New Harmony (city)|New Harmony]], [[Mars]].<ref>'''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn Part 1'''</ref> | ||
In [[2557]], the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} was attacked by [[Covenant remnant]] forces in orbit above [[Requiem]]. During the fight, one of the [[CRS-class light cruiser]]s moved to intercept the ''Dawn'' attempting to destroy it. [[Cortana]] decided to use one of the ships Hyperion nuclear missiles on the cruiser. While the missile was initially jammed, [[John-117]] was able to release it and fire the missile at the cruiser, destroying it as it had never raised its shields.<ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''', ''[[Dawn (level)|Dawn]]''</ref> | |||
