Asteroids have also seen weaponized uses in space engagements. In a skirmish following the [[Callisto Incident]] in [[2494]], an asteroid was used by the Insurrectionists to gain a tactical advantage in battle, using a outward-facing [[nuclear weapon|nuclear explosive device]] buried in an asteroid, greatly increasing the destructive power of the weapon in vacuum environment by providing enough reactive mass to destroy one UNSC ship and cripple two.<ref>''Halo: Evolutions'', The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole</ref> [[Forerunner]] warships, such as [[Harrier-class vessel]]s, were equipped with "gravity slings", gravitic weapons which allowed them to propel asteroids or other small objects at great velocities and use them as projectiles. A notable advantage of this over the more common [[directed energy weapon]]s was the vessel's ability to remain untraceable. This tactic was used by the Forerunners to their great advantage in the [[Battle of the 78th Thema|battle at Path Terrulian]] during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].<ref>''Halo: Silentium'', | Asteroids have also seen weaponized uses in space engagements.
