The citadel is a basic command structure with defenses such as [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]], [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]], and [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]], and can also be defended by base turrets. It also has a similar underground garage to the UNSC's Firebase. These provide field command facilities for invading or defending Covenant Armies. Much like its [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] equivalent, it possesses seven expansion "sockets" for more structures for research, unit production and defense. | The citadel is a basic command structure with defenses such as [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]], [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]], and [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]], and can also be defended by base turrets.

The Covenant also made use of Minibases, smaller outposts only capable of supporting one additional structure. They were notably employed during the Battle of the Etran Harborage, where they were used as forward airbases with which to construct Banshees and [[Type-29 Vampire|Vampires]].<ref>'''Halo Wars campaign level:''' ''[[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]]''</ref> | The Covenant also made use of Minibases, smaller outposts only capable of supporting one additional structure.
