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. For example, [[UNSC destroyer]]s in [[2494]] carried [[seven]] Ares missiles total, whereas by [[2552]], destroyers carried 26 Archer pods of 30 missiles each, for a total of 780 missiles. | |||
