Shiva-class nuclear missile

Shiva Nuclear Tipped Missiles are heavy ordinance missiles with a potential for mass destruction. These long range nuclear weapons are used by UNSC capital ships and Longsword Interceptors. They range in payload, and can be fitted with guidance computers. It should be noted that Covenant capital ship shields have enough power to absorb a full nuclear blast far away but not directly, but if the warhead detonates inside the shield, the effect of the blast is multiplied tremendously.
