Covenant destroyer

Covenant Destroyer Covenant destroyer refers to at least two different warship classifications within the Covenant Navy.

Background
Two types of Covenant destroyers have been encountered. Destroyers with a length of 1500 m were seen in various battles early in the Human-Covenant War, and a smaller variant with a length of approximately 647 m was present during the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV.

The destroyer is extremely well-armed, boasting multiple pulse laser turrets, plasma torpedo launcher(s), a single Energy Projector, and a full complement of s.

This dangerous warship classification has the distinctive three huge sections of most heavier Covenant warships, mirroring the lethality of its larger cousins. They are used as escorts for battlegroups using larger ship classes, able to hold their own in combat while protecting their battlegroup from threats.
