-The ''' Anaconda Surface-to-Air Missile''' is a type of anti-aircraft ordnance used by the [[UNSC]], possibly used by large vehicles (although this is only speculation).
+The ''' Anaconda surface-to-air missile''' is a type of [[Anti-aircraft weapon|anti-aircraft]] ordnance used by the [[United Nations Space Command]]. It often serves as a supplementary armament on [[M5 Talos]] prefabricated defense turrets.{{Ref/Book|Id=Prima|Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide|Page=30}}
-These missiles are only mentioned once in the ''[[Halo]]'' series, during the book [[Halo: First Strike]] where the [[Spartans|SPARTANS]] of [[Red Team]] recover a crate marked [[HIGHCOM Armory Omega]] during the [[Battle of Reach]] that contained six Anaconda Surface to Air Missiles and a pair of [[Fury Tactical Nukes]];<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], Page 20</ref> though as far as we know the missiles were never actually used. Though they might have been used against the [[Covenant Cruiser]] as a last ditch effort to save the [[MAC]] generators.
+==History==
+During the [[Battle of Mesra]] in mid-[[2526]], the [[Militia of Mesra]] used Anacondas in a limited ground bombardment capacity, using missile batteries stationed in the [[Karpos Mountain Range]] to strike down at advancing [[Covenant]] armoured columns advancing on the [[Doukala mine]]. The bombardment was mildly effective, due to the missiles not being designed for such a usage.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=3}} They were later used by forces of {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} during the [[Harvest campaign]], [[Battle for Arcadia]], and [[Battle of Trove]], used as mountings on the Talos base turrets deployed as a defensive measure on UNSC firebases.{{Ref/Game|HW|Base turret in-game building}}
-In [[Halo Wars]], two Anaconda SAM launchers may be attached to a a standard [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Firebase|prefabricated base]] [[Base Turret|turret]] to complement the [[M202 XP Machine Gun]] with anti-air abilities. These are very successful at bringing down enemy [[Banshees]] and [[Vampire]]s <ref>[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]'' page 31</ref>.
