The ''' | The '''Ares missile''' is a series of ship-to-ship missiles carried predominantly by [[Colonial Military Authority]] 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}} The transfer of CMA military assets into the control of the [[United Nations Space Command]] would see it used by the UNSC, though seemingly eventually retired. | ||

The UNSC's [[Unidentified UNSC light destroyer class|unnamed light destroyer]] classification carried seven Ares silos, each stocking a single missile.{{Ref/Reuse|HETILATPDOPJCS4}} | |||
