'''Intrusion corvettes''' are a classification of stealth [[Covenant corvette|corvette]] employed by the [[Covenant]] and the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS12|HSS|Chapter=12}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSoR17|HSoR|Chapter=17}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=460}}

===Superstructure and hull===
Intrusion corvettes were originally designed by the Covenant to serve in supporting anti-ship roles, alongside aiding the insertion of light infantry and vehicles to the ground.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The intrusion corvette is shaped like a pair of teardrops connected by a thin middle fuselage, covered in (seemingly) randomly placed rows of blue lights.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS14|HSS|Chapter=14}} The corvette's hull is not particularly durable by Covenant standards, with the vessel being able to be taken down by a few lucky missile salvos from a [[United Nations Space Command]] {{Class|Razor|prowler}}.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS17|HSS|Chapter=17}}

The intrusion corvettes modified by the [[Banished]] bear considerable design deviances from their Covenant counterparts. These include ramming spikes, additional sensor arrays, and [[boarding craft]] as well as customised paint jobs; in the case of War Chief [[Escharum]], his personal intrusion corvette boasts a stripe and the emblem of the Banished painted in blood-red on its bow.{{Ref/Novel|Id=T3L|Halo: The Third Life}}

Intrusion corvettes require only a small crew. The ship's bridge crew consists of at least a [[shipmaster]] and a [[second]], alongside ten readers and two [[Obedientiary|obedientiaries]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS12}} Additionally, the corvette is capable of deploying {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}s and a number of infantry.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS14}} The modified intrusion corvette of the Banished War Chief Escharum is capable of deploying a [[Phantom]] dropship, and is stocked with [[boarding craft]] on its ventral surface.{{Ref/Reuse|T3L}}

==Operational history==
===Human-Covenant War===
In [[2526#March|March 2526]], the five intrusion corvettes of the [[Bloodstar Flotilla]] led [[Battle of Seoba|an assault]] on Seoba, under the direction of Tel 'Szatulai. The First Blade was distressed by the seemingly superior [[Stealth ablative coating|stealth systems]] employed by the UNSC prowlers,{{Ref/Reuse|HSS12}} so he had one shot down to be recovered for study.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS13|HSS|Chapter=13}} Called the UNSC ''Starry Night'', [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[John-117]] led eleven other Spartans to search for any surviving crew. Two of 'Szatulai's intrusion corvettes reached the prowler shortly before the Spartans, and began firing on the supersoldiers and deploying [[Bloodstars|troops]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS14}} Due to the turncoat [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Hector Nyeto]]'s efforts to get the Spartan-IIs killed, he purposefully held off on attacking the intrusion corvettes under guise of waiting to get into a perfect position. Eventually, two of the corvettes were destroyed by the UNSC prowlers while [[Worthy Silence|a third]] was caught in the blast of the ''Starry Night''{{'}}s [[self-destruct]] as it hovered above the downed vessel, trying to recover it.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS15}} Shortly afterward, the Spartans removed the ''kelguid'' from the corvette's bridge and delivered it to [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] for inspection.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS16|HSS|Chapter=16}}
 
Later that year, nine intrusion corvettes made up the majority of the Flotilla of Unsung Piety along with a single [[Covenant frigate]]. Most of the flotilla was destroyed in the three-way [[Battle of Netherop]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Oblivion]]'''</ref>
 
===Post-Covenant War era===
In [[2559]], an intrusion corvette was dispatched from a [[Banished]] [[Covenant supercarrier|supercarrier]] to carry [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]] to [[Reach]]'s surface to personally oversee the search for the [[Menachite portal complex]]. After the arrival of [[Atriox]] from [[Installation 00|the Ark]], the corvette extracted the Banished leader and his arriving forces with its [[gravity lift]] and carried them away from the planet just before a [[Guardian]] could arrive in response to the portal's activation.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SoR|SoR}}

Later that year, a now-disgraced Nizat stole a number of intrusion corvettes to form the [[Flotilla of Unsung Piety]], with the goal of destroying the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and redeeming his honour.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=252}} During the ensuing [[Battle of Netherop (2526)|Battle of Netherop]], most of the corvettes - with the exception of ''[[Silent Truth]]'' and ''[[Quiet Faith]]'' - were destroyed by the combined fleet actions of the UNSC's [[Task Force Pantea]] and the Covenant's own [[Fleet of Swift Justice]] - the latter of which deployed to hunt down the traitor Sangheili.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=21}}
===Post-Covenant War era===
In [[2559]], War Chief of the Banished [[Escharum]] made heavy use of an intrusion corvette in a number of operations. On [[2559#May|May 8, 2559]], Escharum used his intrusion corvette to travel to the [[Edolas system]] to meet with [[Ilsa Zane]] aboard the [[New Colonial Alliance]]'s flagship [[NCA D'artagnan|NCA ''D'artagnan'']]. While there, the corvette deployed a single Phantom to dock with the ''D'artagnan''. Here, he observed Zane's execution of the alliance's former-leader [[Admiral]] [[Mattius Drake]], and the NCA's pledge of allegiance to the Banished cause.{{Ref/Reuse|T3L}}
In October of that year, Escharum used his intrusion corvette to deploy from a [[Banished]] [[Covenant supercarrier|supercarrier]] to  [[Reach]]'s surface to personally oversee [[Operation: WOLFE|the search for]] the [[Menachite portal complex]]. After the arrival of [[Atriox]] from [[Installation 00|the Ark]], the corvette extracted the Banished leader and his arriving forces with its [[gravity lift]] and carried them away from the planet just before a [[Guardian Custode]] could arrive in response to the portal's activation.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SoR|SoR}}

==Production notes==
The intrusion corvette's description is broadly similar to the [[Covenant stealth ship]] as described in ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''. However, it is presently unknown if the two are one and the same. The artwork for the intrusion corvette used in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'' is a discarded concept design for the [[Banished dreadnought]] produced for ''[[Halo Infinite]]''.{{Ref/Book|AoHI|Page=110}}
