Bident missile

The Bident missile is a heavy guided munition utilized by the UNSC Navy.

Overview
While used to augment a warship's firepower by supplementing their Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, unlike the more common Archer missile the Bident missile is used specifically against larger vessels. Using a scaled-down fusion drive for propulsion, the Bident uses a nuclear-pumped X-Ray laser warhead as it's explosive munition. However, the warhead is capable of being swapped-out with kinetic rod bundles or even fusion warheads for bombarding the surface of planets.
