The Ares Missile Delivery System is an anti-ship Missile Delivery System carried predominantly by Colonial Military Authority warships, intended for engaging enemy ships in space combat.[1][2] The transfer of CMA military assets into the control of the United Nations Space Command would see it used by the UNSC, though seemingly eventually retired.

Overview[edit]

Unlike its successors, whose pods carry thirty or more missiles, an Ares silo carried only a single missile. Warships historically carried far fewer Ares missiles than Archer missiles.[1] Ares missiles were typically mounted on the ships of the CMA Navy while the UNSC Navy preferred Archers.

The UNSC's unnamed light destroyer classification carried seven Ares silos, each stocking a single missile.[1]

Models[edit]

M35 Ares[edit]

The M35 Ares Missile Delivery System is employed as a weapon system aboard the Dilligence-class destroyer. The Dilligence carries forty M35 launchers.[3]

M44 Ares[edit]

M44 Ares Missile Delivery Systems were employed during the Insurrection conflict during the 25th century. The Scholte-class missile corvette was designed by the CMA to carry two such missile pods, alongside a complement of M58 Archer missiles.[2]

M48 Ares[edit]

The M48 Ares Missile Delivery System is employed as a weapon system aboard the Hillsborough-class heavy destroyer. The Hillsborough carries fifty-six M48 missiles.[4]

Trivia[edit]

The missile was named after the Greek god of war.
