The '''fusion rocket''' is a type of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] warship ordnance that uses a scaled-down [[fusion drive]] for thrust. While unguided, they can reach immense velocities in seconds because of their low mass. Only one-third of human vessels carry such weapons and there are never more than three fusion rockets aboard a vessel because of the prohibitive cost of building the fusion propulsion system. Additionally, these rockets proved to be inefficient against [[Covenant]] [[energy shielding]], and are considered impractical because of their lack of a guidance system. The UNSC typically used these to lay waste to relatively stationary targets, such as orbiting [[space station]]s.<ref name="ENC">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''page 315'' (2011)</ref> | The '''fusion rocket''' is a type of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] warship ordnance that uses a scaled-down [[fusion drive]] for thrust.
