Space-based weapons are preferred in combat situations with the Covenant because of the massive [[electromagnetic pulse]] released by such warheads like the Shiva; this is most effective for disabling electronics aboard nearby enemy ships; this was done by [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Gray Team]] during the [[Battle of the Rubble]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 317''</ref> | The warhead can also be fitted on [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword interceptors]] for low-profile insertion.<ref name="pages322-324">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 322-324''</ref> The ''Shiva'' can be detonated by two methods: radio transmission code sequence, or a proximity fuse, whichever method is most effective for the situation.

Covenant capital ships have enough power to absorb a full Shiva blast from long distances, and in some cases direct hits. If the warhead detonates inside the shield, the effects of the blast is multiplied tremendously: the ship's shields would briefly contain the explosion, redirecting the blast's energy back into the ship. This was demonstrated in the [[Fall of Reach]] by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] while commanding the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. | Covenant capital ships have enough power to absorb a full Shiva blast from long distances, and in some cases direct hits.
