Covenant hall



The Hall is a Covenant structure featured in Halo Wars.

The Hall is built onto the Citadel, and is where Covenant infantry is trained and upgraded, such as Unggoy Lances (Four Unggoy, or Grunts, led by a single Sangheili or a single Jiralhanae depending on the leader chosen), Mgalekgolo pairs and Kig-yar pairs. This is also where most Covenant infantry upgrades are researched, such as increased troop power and weapons. The Hall forms the core of the Covenant ground-attack forces, especially early in the game when vehicles are sparse. It can be protected by the shield generator.

It is the Covenant equivalent of the Barracks. It has what looks like flaps on the roof that go up and down when training units. Under the flaps is what looks like a bright light, Probably plasma but this has yet to be confirmed. This is also where unit upgrades can be found.

These are some units upgrades that can be found in the Hall.
