- — Cortana, in Dawn
The M4093 Hyperion nuclear delivery system is a nuclear weapon used by the United Nations Space Command.[1]
Background
The M4093 was developed by Acheron Security. The Charon-class light frigate UNSC Forward Unto Dawn as well as the Strident-class heavy frigate were equipped with at least three silos of M4093 Hyperion nuclear weapons.
Service history
Hyperion nuclear missiles were already in service by 2526. In that year, Christina Rice and James McCann of the Bandusa Insurrectionist group attempted to steal Hyperion-class warheads for a potential attack. Before they could put their plan into practice, however, they were arrested by ONI agents in New Harmony, Mars.[2]
In 2557, the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn was attacked by Covenant remnant forces in orbit above Requiem. During the fight, one of the CRS-class light cruisers moved to intercept the Dawn attempting to destroy it. Cortana decided to use one of the ships Hyperion nuclear missiles on the cruiser. While the missile was initially jammed, John-117 managed to release it and fire the missile at the cruiser, destroying it since it had not raised its shields.[3]
Name
Hyperion is the name of a Titan in Greek mythology, who was the son of Gaia (Mother Earth) and Uranus (the Sky). Hyperion is also the namesake of one of Saturn's moons.
