Alongside the aforementioned weapons complement, the ''Rasus'' is outfitted with a considerable [[Point-defense gun|point-defense]] of 124 [[Pulse laser turret|''Reskuk''-pattern pulse laser turrets]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Though most of its power is likely used up by its large number of weapons, the ship can project a shield strong enough to protect it from multiple nuclear missiles and [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] (MAC) rounds. 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]]''.

''[[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]]''.
 
In the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' and its [[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)|2011 reprint]], the "Covenant battleship" is erroneously listed as having a length of {{Convert|656|ft|m|sp=us}}.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}
