The '''Covenant Frigate'''<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 192</ref> is a medium-tonnage warship, seeming to be among the smallest and the most common warship types among the [[Covenant Fleet]]s. These starships are equipped with multiple [[Pulse Laser turret|pulse lasers]], at least one and possibly up to three [[Plasma Torpedo]] launchers on a lateral surface. They have participated in most [[Covenant]]-[[UNSC]] engagements. They are larger than a [[UNSC Frigate]] or [[UNSC Destroyer]], but smaller than most UNSC cruisers (such as the {{Class|Marathon|Cruiser|}}) and like most other Covenant starships they have an curving, bulbous shape. | The '''Covenant Frigate'''<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 192</ref> is a medium-tonnage warship, seeming to be among the smallest and the most common warship types among the [[Covenant Fleet]]s.
