The HAVOK is used in situations where the UNSC must eliminate [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces in an area already claimed by them, or to prevent an area from falling into their hands. However, there are situations where the UNSC will use a HAVOK to eliminate Covenant ships deploying infantry and equipment. Nuclear Weapons like the HAVOK are employed often but not always, and are only used when all civilian and military populations have been either evacuated, or compromised in a target area. | The HAVOK is used in situations where the UNSC must eliminate [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces in an area already claimed by them, or to prevent an area from falling into their hands.

Several variants of the HAVOK nuclear device have been developed for use in different tactical situations, apart from the mine version of the nuke there also exists the Variant V HAVOK. The Variant V HAVOK is designed to maximize the thermonuclear yield in the vacuum of space.<ref>See talk page under subject "On HAVOK Nuclear Warhead"</ref> The Variant V HAVOK is a warhead that is attached to a missile and can be launched from either the ground or from a ship. | Several variants of the HAVOK nuclear device have been developed for use in different tactical situations, apart from the mine version of the nuke there also exists the Variant V HAVOK.
