| The '''Scorpion missile''' is a type of explosive ordnance used by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. These missiles are commonly mounted on the UNSC's [[AV-19 SkyHawk]] jets and occasionally [[GA-TL1 Longsword]]s.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc09|Enc09|Page=251}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=261}} They are equipped with motion tracking systems and proximity detonators that greatly increase their chances of crippling or destroying a target. They are also able to attain high cruising speeds and are very accurate, thanks to their advanced guidance systems, which quickly locate and lock onto a target.{{Ref/Novel|Id=TFOR27|TFOR|Chapter=27}}

| ==Operational history==
| | '''Scorpion''' type rockets are a type of explosive ordinance used by the [[UNSC]]. These rockets are mounted on [[SkyHawk]] jets and [[Longsword]] fighters. They are equipped with motion tracking systems and proximity detonators. They are extremely fast and they don't miss. Their guidance systems quickly lock on to a target and they are designed with the power to destroy [[tanks]]. |
| During the [[Fall of Reach]], [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] dispatched a SkyHawk fighter to attack [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] and the [[AI]] [[Cortana]] while the pair were on a testing run, in an effort to kill these threats to Ackerson's success. The SkyHawk launched a Scorpion missile at the Spartan, but it failed to kill him, as John-117 literally swatted the missile away with his [[Energy shielding|energy shielded]] arm, a unique improvisation on the part of the Master Chief, made possible only by the aid of Cortana.{{Ref/Reuse|TFOR27}}
