Covenant [[CRS-class light cruiser]]s carry their own ventral beam weapons - most likely smaller, less powerful versions of the energy projectors used by their larger cousins. This weapon charges up like an energy projector, but glows green. In 2557, a Covenant light cruiser orbiting [[Requiem]] attempted to destroy the ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'' using its ventral energy weapon, but was stopped when John-117 destroyed the cruiser with a Hyperion-class nuclear missile. | Covenant [[CRS-class light cruiser]]s carry their own ventral beam weapons - most likely smaller, less powerful versions of the energy projectors used by their larger cousins.

It is also apparent that at least some classes of Covenant space stations also carry energy projects as their main defensive capability; one of the few known instances of this was when the ''[[UNSC Infinity]]'' encountered a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant battlestation]] orbiting the gas giant [[Oth Lodon]] in [[2558]]. In this engagement the station, commandeered by [[Insurrectionist]]s of the [[New Colonial Alliance]] fired the station's main energy projector upon the UNSC flagship, severely damaging it with a single shot. This particular projector was mounted upon the station's central "tower", allowing for maximum range and effect against approaching targets. | It is also apparent that at least some classes of Covenant space stations also carry energy projects as their main defensive capability; one of the few known instances of this was when the ''[[UNSC Infinity]]'' encountered a [[Oth Lodon station|Covenant battlestation]] orbiting the gas giant [[Oth Lodon]] in [[2558]].
