Covenant Destroyer

The Covenant Destroyer is a warship classification within the Covenant Navy.

Background
This class of starship is extremely well-armed, boasting multiple pulse laser turrets, plasma torpedo launcher(s), a single Energy Projector, and a full compliment of Seraph starfighters.

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.

Vessels of this Classification

 * Absolution
 * Bloodied Spirit
 * Far Sight Lost
 * Rapturous Arc
 * Unnamed Covenant Destroyer

Trivia

 * Jacob Keyes noted its weapons systems, saying it turned UNSC ships into "Swiss cheese".

 * The Destroyer is incorrectly referred to as a Carrier in some Halo Wars guides.
