There is an unidentified model of frigate that are equipped with multiple [[pulse laser turret]]s, four point-defense guns and one-three [[plasma turret]]s on a lateral surface. They have participated in most [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]-[[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] ship-to-ship engagements. Although smaller than most other Covenant capital ships, they are still larger than a [[UNSC frigate]] or [[UNSC destroyer]] at around a thousand of meters.<ref name=pg268/> Like most other Covenant warships, frigates have a curving, bulbous shape and are equipped with energy shields. Furthermore, the [[Sangheili]] equipped their warships with anti-[[plasma turret|plasma torpedo]] "counter guiding signal" systems. The [[Jiralhanae]] stole this technology during the [[Great Schism]] and equipped some of their frigates, such as the ''[[Revenant (ship)|Revenant]]'', ''[[Twilight Compunction]]'' and ''[[Tenebrous]]'', with such devices. However, they did not understand the full intricacies of the system, thus limiting their effectiveness.<ref name="GoO22">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''Chapter 22''</ref> | ! width="100" style="text-align:left" |Image | ||

They have much in common with the {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}}s of the empire, and have been prominently used by the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. They have a stacked hull,{{Ref/Novel|HOut|Chapter=4}}{{Ref/Novel|HOut|Chapter=21}} and are one of several [[design pattern]] variants under the SCC-class heading.{{Ref/Reuse|CFConcert}} | |||

It has a teardrop-shaped profile, with a long, tapering tail that curls up into an open hook. It has at least one [[hangar bay]], which is mounted on the frigate's belly, which was built in an oblong shape that was twenty metres wide and thirty metres deep. It can accommodate at least five {{Pattern|Elsedda|Banshee}}s. One such example, ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'', served as part of the [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience]] in [[2526]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS2}} | |||

|Unidentified class (''[[Steadfast Strike]]'') || || Width less than {{Convert|400|m|ft|sp=us}} (the width of {{UNSCShip|Phyllis Wheatley}}'s salvage bay){{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=15}} || This unidentified vessel is shaped like a "long-necked disk", with a dovetail stern. It carried multiple weapon systems including secondary pulse laser turrets and a primary unknown weapon system. The frigate also carried a self-destruct system. One such vessel, ''[[Steadfast Strike]]'', was part of the [[Flotilla of Unsung Piety]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO4|Oblv|Chapter=4}} | |||
