The Covenant military also employed a vast range of stationary plasma cannons. The [[Type-42 plasma cannon]] was used for suppression fire for much of the [[Human-Covenant War]], before being phased out in favor of the [[Type-52 plasma cannon]] which performed in much the same way. The [[Shade]] stationary guns were used for static defence and heavy suppression. The [[Type-26 Shade]] was the most commonly used model, although the [[Type-27 Shade|Type-27]] and [[Type-29 Shade|Type-29]] variant also saw prodigious use.

The Jiralhanae also had their own array of fearsome weaponry. These became far more frequently used once the Jiralhanae were made the leading members of the Covenant military. The [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker]] was the standard weapon of the lower ranking Jiralhanae, along with their [[Type-25 Brute Plasma Rifle|own version]] of the Type-25 plasma rifle. Higher ranked Jiralhanae were most often equipped with [[Type-25 Brute Shot]]s. [[Type-52 Mauler]]s were often used by Jiralhanae [[Jiralhanae Stalker|stealth operatives]]. The Jiralhanae also fielded their own types of grenades - the [[Type-2 spike grenade]]s and [[Type-3 firebomb]] saw widespread usage towards the end of the Human-Covenant War. Jiralhanae officers sometimes carried their own [[Jiralhanae combat knife|combat knives]].

The Covenant military also boasted an impressive number of vehicles. [[Type-32 Ghost]]s were used for reconnaissance and rapid attack roles. The [[Type-26 Wraith]] was the standard tank - used as the standard armored ground vehicle, it was very effective in anti-armor and anti-infanty roles. The Covenant military used the {{Pattern|Ogab'd|anti-aircraft Wraith}} against hostile aircraft. The {{Pattern|Rizvum|Revenant}} was used as mobile artillery support for infantry, while the {{Pattern|Wuzum|Spectre}} was used more for mobile suppression fire and troop transportation. Infrequently used, the {{Pattern|Ruwaa|Shadow}} provided troop and light vehicle transportation in areas inaccessible to dropships. Jiralhanae vehicles included the [[Type-25 Chopper]] and the [[Qavardu Workshop Prowler]].
