This article is about the starship weapon. For propulsion system, see Fusion drive.
The fusion rocket,[1] also referred to as the fusion missile,[2] was a type of UNSC warship ordnance in service in 2525. These rockets proved to be inefficient against Covenant energy shielding, and they were also impractical because they had no guidance system. They also took a long time to accelerate. The UNSC typically used these to lay waste to relatively stationary targets, such as orbiting space stations.
Typically, UNSC carriers carried two rockets and Marathon-class cruisers carried five.[1] The UNSC Commonwealth also carried two fusion rockets at the time of the Battle of Chi Ceti.[2]
