Relay nodes are a kind of technology used by the Covenant aboard their spacecraft. They are related to the buildup and distribution of energy produced by a ship's pinch fusion reactor, something which can be detected externally. The nodes are located on the exterior of a target spacecraft, making them vulnerable targets for attack.[1]

In July 2551, the relay nodes of Triumph of Tolerance were targeted and destroyed by John-117 and Avery Johnson using captured Morsam-pattern Seraph fighters during Operation: METEORITE. The team speculated that the nodes were powering up the ship's slipspace drive for an emergency FTL jump or a wideband communications signal for reinforcements.[1]
