== | The '''"Covenant super-destroyer"'''<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions''', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole", ''page 471''</ref> was a term used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] to describe a type of [[Covenant]] [[warship]] was in service within the Covenant's [[Covenant fleet|fleet]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. | ||
==Specifications== | |||
===Design details=== | ===Design details=== | ||
This [[warship]] is approximately two kilometers long and one kilometer wide.{{Ref/Reuse|he463}} The super-destroyer is equipped with enough weapons and firepower to destroy most [[United Nations Space Command]] [[fleet]]s from long range. It is larger than many Covenant warships, even surpassing the keel length of the ''CCS''-class battlecruiser, but itself is dwarfed by other starships such as the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} and {{Class|CSO|supercarrier}}. | |||
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 an assault carrier in size. It is armed with [[energy projector]]s, along with pulse laser turrets and plasma torpedo batteries found on most Covenant warships. | |||
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}} | |||

A super-destroyer was encountered by the [[Colonial Military Administration]]'s [[Battle Group 4]] during its [[First Battle of Harvest#UNSC investigation|investigation of]] [[Harvest]] in [[2525#July|July 2525]]; the CMA [[UNSC frigate|frigates]] [[CMA Arabia|''Arabia'']] and [[CMA Vostok|''Vostok'']] were destroyed after a minute-long skirmish, while the [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] [[CMA Heracles|''Heracles'']] was heavily damaged and was forced to retreat.<ref>'''[[Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp]]'''</ref> [[Vice Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]]'s forces later encountered the same vessel during the [[Second Battle of Harvest]] in [[2526#March|March 2526]]. It single-handedly destroyed thirteen ships in Cole's [[Battle Group X-Ray|battle group]] 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.
