| ==Covenant Bomb==
| |
| | |
| The Covenant Bomb was a type of large tactical ordnance. They were the counterpart to the [[UNSC]]'s tactical [[Nuclear weapon]]s.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| These bombs were used during the [[Battle of Earth]] to assault the [[Orbital Defense Platform]]s. There were several boarding parties which consisted of many Elites, Grunts, and Drones. The Boarding parties delivered the ordnance and destroyed [[Athens Station]] and [[Malta Station]]. The bomb that was 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]] with shields down and a 'hole' created by a pair of [[Longswords]]. The chief entered the hole and detonated the bomb in the core resulting the destruction of the assault carrier.<ref name="H2_CairoLevel">''[[Halo 2]]'', [[Cairo Station (Level)]]"</ref>

| ==Appearance==
| |
| The Covenant bomb's appearance is of a long bulbous shape with many spikes protruding from it. It has a central control hub located at the top of the bomb. Since this bomb seems to be for space use it is possible that the spikes on the side are used for shrapnel when the bomb explodes to create holes in a ship to aloow oxygen to escape, this is unlikely however sice it does a fine job wtih just the explosion.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *[[Jason Jones]] of [[Bungie]] referred to the bomb as the "Giant Covenant Space Pickle".
| |
| *When the bomb is reactivated by [[John-117]] it takes [[7]] seconds to explode.
| |
| *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.
| |
| | |
| *The bomb's appearance looks like a present-day naval mine (sea mine)
| |
| *The bomb was not originally going to be included in Halo 2, instead there would be a level were the Master Chief would board the Covenant Assault Carrier and destroy it from within, but due to deadlines, it was cut and Bungie decided to add the bomb.
