'''Ares | The '''M44 Ares missile''' is a type of ship-to-ship missile carried by [[Colonial Military Administration|CMA]] and [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] warships, intended for engaging enemy ships in space combat.{{Ref/Reuse|HETILATPDOPJCS4}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFoundations|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-foundations|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Foundations|D=12|M=01|Y=2022}} | ||

M44 Ares missiles were employed during the [[Insurrection]] conflict during the 25th century. The {{Class|Scholte|missile corvette}} was designed by the CMA to carry two such missile pods, alongside a complement of [[Archer missile|M58 Archer missiles]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFoundations|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-foundations|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Foundations|D=12|M=01|Y=2022}} | |||
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. | Unlike its successors, whose pods carry thirty or more missiles, an Ares silo carried only a single missile.
