HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon: Difference between revisions

Line 43:

In October-December 2552 multiple HAVOK Nuclear Weapons were used during the [[Battle of Earth]], a notable use was around October 21, 2552<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 203''</ref> when [[Blue Team]] was deployed to Mount Erebus in the Antarctic to destroy a Covenant excavation force using a HAVOK. Throughout the rest of the battle for Earth key cities and locations were most likely destroyed using HAVOKs to ensure the Covenant did not gain control of these areas; or to eliminate Covenant that had gained controlled of key locations. It is unknown how many civilian and military casualties were sustained due to the subsequent detonations.

~~== Trivia ==~~

*The HAVOK nuclear warhead shares its name with the [[HAVOK Physics|HAVOK physics engine]] used in the ''Halo'' games. However, ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', which introduced the warhead, was published in 2001, whereas the HAVOK physics engine was not implemented into the series until ''[[Halo 2]]'', which was released three years later, so it is unlikely that the warhead was named after the physics engine.
