| The '''''CRS''-class light cruiser'''<ref name="EVG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 41''</ref> is a [[Covenant]] capital warship classification. They have been described as resembling "luminous manta rays",<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 205''</ref> and are essentially a smaller, weaker version of the [[CCS-class battlecruiser]].<ref name="EVG"/> 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.<ref group="note">While the majority of the Covenant cruisers seen in ''Halo 4'' closely resemble the CCS-class in design, they are much smaller; this is clearly evident from their appearance in the level ''[[Dawn (level)|Dawn]]'', where even the 490-meter long [[Charon-class light frigate]] {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} is noticeably larger. The size difference is also conspicuous in the [[S1/Artifact|first episode]] of ''[[Spartan Ops]]'', in which the UNSC ''Infinity'' rams a large Covenant cruiser (evidently of the CCS-class) while many of the smaller cruisers are seen nearby. Since the ''Essential Visual Guide'' describes the CRS-class as being essentially a smaller version of the CCS-class, and its given size coincides with the smaller cruisers in ''Halo 4'', one can surmise that the cruisers seen in ''Halo 4'' belong to the CRS-class.</ref> | | The '''''CRS''-class light cruiser'''<ref name="EVG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 41''</ref> is a capital warship classification within the [[Covenant Navy|Covenant Navy]].
