However, the shield and hull will buckle under concentrated fire, as occurred when the twenty-seven ships left in Cole's fleet were able to destroy one.{{Ref/Reuse|gen}} | ||

For the longest time, the "Covenant super-destroyer" as described in ''[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]'' and the "Covenant battleship" as described in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'' were considered to be two separate ship classifications, with no source explicitly tying the two together. The [[2022]] release of the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia]]'' explicitly provided the name and statistics for the "super-destroyer" as almost identical to those described in ''First Strike'' - which included a ship two kilometres long and equipped with a dozen energy projectors.{{Ref/Reuse|FS32}} The ''Rasus''{{'}} encyclopedia-given stats match this description accurately, effectively confirming that the two ship classifications were one and the same. | *''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp]]'' and ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series]]'' replace the super-destroyer encountered at Harvest with the cruiser ''[[Rapid Conversion]]''. | ||
