Shiva-class nuclear missile: Difference between revisions

Line 31:

The Shiva missile is used on all warships<ref>Fall of Reach Page 147</ref> in the UNSC including [[Capital ships]]. The Shiva is stored in a ship's nuclear storage bay until it is time to be deployed. Once launched from the ship, its onboard guidance system can guide the warhead to its intended target. However, the warhead's course can be corrected mid-flight by the ship's navigation officer or A.I.

The warhead can also be fitted on [[C709 Longsword-class Interceptor]]s<ref>Fall of Reach Page 322</ref> for a low-profile insertion. The Shiva can be detonated by two methods: radio transmission code sequence, or a proximity fuse, ~~whatever~~ method is most effective for the situation. Space-based weapons are preferred in combat situations with the Covenant because of the massive Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) released by such warheads like the Shiva; this is most effective for disabling electronics aboard nearby enemy ships. This was done by the [[Gray Team]] [[Spartans]] in [[Halo: The Cole Protocol|''Halo: The Cole Protocol'']].
