(The bombs were deployed because the Covenant didn't want to risk their ships by getting too close to the platforms. These stations were that dangerous.)

The [[Covenant Bomb]] was a type of large tactical ordnance. They were the counterpart to the [[UNSC]]'s tactical [[Nuclear weapon]]s.
 
Bombs were used during the [[Battle of Earth]] to assault [[Orbital Defense Platform]]s. Boarding parties delivered the ordnance and destroyed [[Athens Station]] and [[Malta Station]]. The device on [[Cairo Station]] was secured by [[John-117]] and [[Cortana]]. The [[SPARTAN-II|Spartan]] performed a micro-gravity maneuver to deliver the device to a Covenant [[Assault Carrier]]. The enemy warship was destroyed.<ref name="H2_CairoLevel">''[[Halo 2]]'', [[Cairo Station (Level)]]"</ref>

*[[Jason Jones]] of [[Bungie]] referred to the bomb as the "Giant Covenant Space Pickle".

*It appears in [[Halo Zero]], a fan-made 2D Halo game made for the PC.
*The bomb only appears in [[Halo 2]].
* It is possible that it uses [[Antimatter]] and is the [[Antimatter Charge]] Cortana refers to.
