'''Covenant destroyer'''<ref name="FoR">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'''</ref> refers to at least three different [[warship]] classifications within the now-defunct [[Covenant fleet]].


==Background==
==Background==
There are three known classes of destroyers: the {{Pattern|Sinaris|heavy destroyer}}, the {{Pattern|Wik|light destroyer}}, and an unidentified classification of which only one example is known, represented by the ''[[Defender of Faith]]''. An additional so-called "super-destroyer" has been referenced by [[United Nations Space Command]] personnel in naval warfare, though this is an informal term used to describe the {{Pattern|Rasus|interdictor}}. ''CPV''-class destroyers were seen in various battles early in the [[Human-Covenant War]],<ref>''Halo Wars''</ref><ref>''Halo Wars: Genesis''</ref> while a slightly smaller ''RPV''-class destroyer was present during the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]] in [[2552#July|July 2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|FoR}}

Cole", ''page 471''</ref>


In general, Covenant destroyers are very well-armed, boasting multiple point-defense [[pulse laser turret]]s, [[plasma turret]]s, [[energy projector]]s, and a full complement of [[Seraph]] fighters. The destroyer's weapons are so potent that [[UNSC Navy]] [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] remarked that they turned UNSC ships into "Swiss cheese" in many engagements.<ref>'''''Halo: The Fall of Reach''''', ''page 145''</ref>

This warship classification features the distinctive three-section design of most heavier Covenant warships, mirroring the deadliness of its larger counterparts. Destroyers are often used as escorts for [[Covenant fleet|fleets]] or [[Battle group|task forces]] and are able to hold their own in combat, while protecting more valuable ships from enemy threats.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
