Subject: NUKE!

soo we can see how strong is a medium sized nuke... how much heavy U.N.S.C nukes would be needed to blow up the high charity

Well if you use a NOVA bomb, all you need to do is get close enough and it will be completely obliterated along with it's fleet and the planet behind it will now have a giant chunk missing.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

No nuke we have right now would do critical damage to high charity unless it was put in a serious place.

A single NOVA bomb could wipe out high charity though

one NOVA bomb.

Fight inside and detonate it in the engine room.

High Charity would be torn apart, but you would lose your entire strike force in the process.

Well a NOVA Bomb has the power to crack a planet.....

We should know better, because we are better.

All you need is one torpedo down the ventilation shaft.

I think 1 would be enough. One well placed. On the other hand, if you could destabilize High Charity reactor then you don't have to use any nuke (well placed C4 or grenade would be enough) in process of destroying High Charity.

Using explosives it doesn't matter quantity but where it is located, placed.

well... basicialy, i vas talking about nuke launched from ships... like misles, only nukish

Well Unyielding Heirophant had a shield system powerful enough to repel the collision of a small moon so I doubt a direct attack with missiles or even a nuke would phase High Charity. You'd have to get inside.

well i think a barage on nova nukes will do the job... or if our time nukes... i think about 500nukes barage will do the trick

Well, if you ignore defense systems (60-80% of missiles launched on Covies Cruiser would be destroyed by Point Defense Lasers) and shielding, it would be aprox. 1500 nukes. High Charity is a big part of the moon, it has a lot of usable space, structures inside made of the same alloy as Covies ships. Attack is from the outside so requires about 2-3 times more payload than from inside. Well, 1500 nukes is enough if they hit a target alongside and simultaneously.

One NOVA would probably do the trick, I'd do two just to be sure (separately). I don't think the UNSC has enough fissile material to launch 500 nukes at a single target.

>.> The NOVA is NOT a planet-cracker. It's more like a extinction bomb. It won't destroy/split the planet behind it apart, but more or less just wipe all life off it's surface.

<.< What is with these people who take a concept and expand it far past any logical point?

High charity has no engine room. It's powered by the Dreadnought

Well it's capable to slipspace jump without Dreadnought. You can see this when Flood comes to the Ark. In other words, it possess engines but they're rarely used.

When Admiral Whitcomb literally called it a planet cracker.

The reason the planet near-by the Covenant fleet wasn't destroyed was because it detonated to far away from it. It did shatter the local moon though, and torch a full quarter of the planet.

The local moon, with an estimated size of 2 km (which to me sounds waaaay to small for most moons) helped calculate the NOVA's strength at 1.2 petatons. Thats enough to crack a planet the size of earth open like an egg.

Then consider the fact most moons are actually larger then 2km (unless its an asteroid captured by gravity) and the numbers increase drastically.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

The NOVA bomb is the only explosive artifact the UNSC has that could crack High Charity in two.
