 The '''11-B1''' is an [[wikipedia:Intercontinental ballistic missile|intercontinental ballistic missile]] used by the [[UNSC Defense Force]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]] for long-range high-yield nuclear strikes against ground-based targets. They are capable of causing megatons of nuclear damage.<ref name="ENC328"/> It is housed in [[missile silo]]s, reinforced against military strikes and normally staffed with a [[UNSC Defense Force|UNSCDF security detail]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', multiplayer map, ''[[Standoff]]''</ref>
-The 11-B1 was obsolete prior to the Human-Covenant War, due to the relative stability within the UNSC. They were seen as unnecessary because of the resulting large-scale destruction, damaged ecosystem, nuclear fallout and radiation that follows the detonation of a 11-B1. However, during the war, 11-B1s are now used as a last-resort weapon against [[Covenant]] forces that evaded planetary [[MAC]] defense weaponry.<ref name="ENC328"/>
