The Ares missile is a series of ship-to-ship missiles carried predominantly by Colonial Military Authority warships, intended for engaging enemy ships in space combat.[1][2] The transfer of CMA military assets into the control of the United Nations Space Command would see it used by the UNSC, though seemingly eventually retired.
Overview[edit]
Unlike its successors, whose pods carry thirty or more missiles, an Ares silo carried only a single missile. Warships historically carried far fewer Ares missiles than Archer missiles.[1] Ares missiles were typically mounted on the ships of the CMA Navy while the UNSC Navy preferred Archers.
The UNSC's unnamed light destroyer classification carried seven Ares silos, each stocking a single missile.[1]
Models[edit]
M35 Ares[edit]
The M35 Ares missile is employed as a weapon system aboard the Dilligence-class destroyer. The Dilligence carries forty M35 launchers.[3]
M44 Ares[edit]
M44 Ares missiles were employed during the Insurrection conflict during the 25th century. The Scholte-class missile corvette was designed by the CMA to carry two such missile pods, alongside a complement of M58 Archer missiles.[2]
M48 Ares[edit]
The M48 Ares missile is employed as a weapon system aboard the Hillsborough-class heavy destroyer. The Hillsborough carries fifty-six M48 missiles.[4]
Trivia[edit]
- The missile was named after the Greek god of war.
List of appearances[edit]
- Halo: Evolutions
- The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole (First appearance)
