Zanar-pattern light cruiser

The CRS-class light cruiser is a Covenant capital warship classification. They have been described as resembling "luminous manta rays", and are essentially a smaller, weaker version of the CCS-class battlecruiser. While the CRS-class light cruiser and the CCS-class battlecruiser are virtually identical in outward appearance, one can distinguish them by the spikes protruding from near CCS-class's bow.

Several such vessels were used over Reach during the Covenant's invasion of the planet. Following the Human-Covenant War, the CRS-class forms the backbone of the fleet of the Covenant remnant, which deployed numerous CRS-class cruisers to Requiem during the Requiem campaign.
