The Covenant is made up of a variety of alien species from different parts of the galaxy.

However, not every species encountered by the Covenant was deemed worthy of even providing them with conversion in exchange for services, though their worlds still fell under Covenant control. These species were poorly documented by the [[Sangheili]] and have not been contacted nor cataloged by the [[Unified Earth Government]], even after the Covenant's fall.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/ | However, not every species encountered by the Covenant was deemed worthy of even providing them with conversion in exchange for services, though their worlds still fell under Covenant control.

Covenant starships use [[repulsor engine]]s for propulsion in space, rather than the more traditional [[fusion engine]]s utilized by humanity or the advanced [[reaction drive]]s used by Forerunners.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 331''</ref> Covenant drive systems seem to be propelled by an unusual combination of gravity "waves" and some form of highly reactive plasma displacement, but the actual means and method of propulsion is currently beyond human understanding.{{Ref/Reuse|ency224}} Both starships and ground vehicles are equipped with various forms of [[anti-gravity technology]], allowing ships to hover easily inside an atmosphere and allowing frictionless movement of vehicles across terrain. The Covenant are also able to manipulate exceedingly large amounts of plasma energy by recycling detritus from sublight travel.{{Ref/Reuse|wp cov}} | Covenant starships use [[repulsor engine]]s for propulsion in space, rather than the more traditional [[fusion engine]]s utilized by humanity or the advanced [[reaction drive]]s used by Forerunners.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 331''</ref> Covenant drive systems seem to be propelled by an unusual combination of gravity "waves" and some form of highly reactive plasma displacement, but the actual means and method of propulsion is currently beyond human understanding.{{Ref/Reuse|ency224}} Both starships and ground vehicles are equipped with various forms of [[anti-gravity technology]], allowing ships to hover easily inside an atmosphere and allowing frictionless movement of vehicles across terrain.

Covenant manufacturing plants, such as the [[Assembly Forges]], employ highly sophisticated manufacturing methods which allow them considerable freedom in the design of individual ships. While all Covenant vessels fall into one of several universal design patterns, every ship can be custom-made to fit the preferences of individual shipbuilders and fleet masters.<ref name="have s'moa">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/ | Covenant manufacturing plants, such as the [[Assembly Forges]], employ highly sophisticated manufacturing methods which allow them considerable freedom in the design of individual ships.
