FENRIS warheads | FENRIS warheads had superhardened cases to contain the detonation longer and boost the thermonuclear yield.{{Ref/Novel|Id=GOO1|GoO|Chapter=1}} The hardened cases also made them resilient to small arms and explosions, so resilient in fact that they were regarded as useless without the detonation codes. FENRIS warheads are considered low-yield devices.{{Ref/Novel|Id=GOO23|GoO|Chapter=23}} | ||
They may be detonated by remote{{Ref/Reuse|GOO23}} or by pressing the warhead's detonator manually.{{Ref/Novel|Id=GOO39|GoO|Chapter=39}} | They may be detonated by remote{{Ref/Reuse|GOO23}} or by pressing the warhead's detonator manually.{{Ref/Novel|Id=GOO39|GoO|Chapter=39}} | ||

In [[2531]], the [[Insurrectionist]]s possessed three FENRIS warheads at [[Camp New Hope]] on [[Victoria]].

By [[2552]], the FENRIS was slated for decommissioning.

During the [[Battle for Earth]], [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team]] recaptured 12 FENRIS warheads from the [[Covenant]] at the [[Centennial Orbital Elevator]]. At the top of the elevator, six armed warheads were smuggled aboard a [[Covenant destroyer]] while another destroyer, ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]'' was commandeered by Blue Team. The enemy destroyer was destroyed by a combination of internal nuclear detonations and [[plasma turret|plasma torpedo]] fire. Blue Team then made the [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] jump to [[Onyx]].{{Ref/Reuse|GOO23}} | |||
As the [[Onyx Conflict]] drew to a close, [[Kurt-051]] manually detonated 2 cut-down FENRIS warheads to deny the [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant]] access to Onyx's internal [[Dyson sphere|Micro Dyson sphere]].{{Ref/Reuse|GOO39}} | |||
