A super-destroyer was encountered by the {{UNSCShip|Heracles}}, {{UNSCShip|Vostok}}, and {{UNSCShip|Arabia}} as well as the forces under [[Vice Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]] in the [[Second Battle of Harvest]]. It single handedly destroyed thirteen ships in Cole's fleet before being destroyed by concentrated fire.<ref name="gen">'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Evolutions''', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.

It is larger than most Covenant [[warship]]s, even surpassing the keel length of the CCS-class battlecruiser, but itself is dwarfed by the [[Covenant assault carrier]]. | ||
The super-destroyer's hull is composed of five bulbous sections - a swollen prow, two lateral lobes, a dorsal bulb and a protruding stern. The ship itself is a pale shade of purple. It is one of the largest ships in the Covenant fleet, being between a battlecruiser and assault carrier in size. It is armed with energy projectors, along with pulse laser turrets and plasma torpedo batteries found on most Covenant warships. | The super-destroyer's hull is composed of five bulbous sections - a swollen prow, two lateral lobes, a dorsal bulb and a protruding stern.
