M4093 Hyperion nuclear delivery system (Earth-5875)

"That cruiser's shields are down! Assuming they don't raise them, that missile's going to be one heck of a surprise."

- - Cortana to John-117

The M4093 Hyperion nuclear delivery system is a nuclear weapon used in warships of the UNSC Navy.

Service history
The M4093 was developed by Armat Battlefield Systems to be used within Charon-class light frigates.

In 2563, the remnants of the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn were attacked by Enclave forces orbiting the shield world Requiem. When a CRS-class light cruiser of the Enclave moved towards the Dawn to destroy it, Cortana had the idea to used one of the Dawn's M4093 Hyperions against the cruiser. While it was jammed, John-117 was ultimately able to release it and destroy the cruiser.
