The REM-226 Gungnir is a long-range fire control missile developed by the UNSC Navy. It consists of a standard three- or four-stage Multi-Stage Missile fitted with an FTL telemetry link instead of a warhead. Designed to be pod-fired, this missile acts as a control node for the other twenty-five missiles in the pod and allows a ship equipped with the FTL PALANTIR-4 targeting system to provide effectively real-time control to the missiles across their range envelope. Because of this, it can theoretically allow for dramatic extensions in range going into the tens of millions of kilometres.
